Subject: [PATCH] tcp: fix possible freeze in tx path under memory pressure
Blamed commit only dealt with applications issuing small writes.
Issue here is that we allow to force memory schedule for the sk_buff
allocation, but we have no guarantee that sendmsg() is able to
copy some payload in it.
In this patch, I make sure the socket can use up to tcp_wmem[0] bytes.
For example, if we consider tcp_wmem[0] = 4096 (default on x86),
and initial skb->truesize being 1280, tcp_sendmsg() is able to
copy up to 2816 bytes under memory pressure.
Before this patch a sendmsg() sending more than 2816 bytes
would either block forever (if persistent memory pressure),
or return -EAGAIN.
For bigger MTU networks, it is advised to increase tcp_wmem[0]
to avoid sending too small packets.
v2: deal with zero copy paths.
Fixes: 8e4d980ac215 ("tcp: fix behavior for epoll edge trigger")
