4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 69fed99baac186013840ced3524562841296034f ]
A driver using dev_alloc_page() must not reuse a page that had to
use emergency memory reserve.
Otherwise all packets using this page will be immediately dropped,
unless for very specific sockets having SOCK_MEMALLOC bit set.
This issue might be hard to debug, because only a fraction of the RX
ring buffer would suffer from drops.
