[PATCH 01/12] netvm: Prevent a stream-specific deadlock

From: Mel Gorman
Date: Wed Jun 20 2012 - 05:43:48 EST


It could happen that all !SOCK_MEMALLOC sockets have buffered so
much data that we're over the global rmem limit. This will prevent
SOCK_MEMALLOC buffers from receiving data, which will prevent userspace
from running, which is needed to reduce the buffered data.

Fix this by exempting the SOCK_MEMALLOC sockets from the rmem limit.
Once this change it applied, it is important that sockets that set
SOCK_MEMALLOC do not clear the flag until the socket is being torn down.
If this happens, a warning is generated and the tokens reclaimed to
avoid accounting errors until the bug is fixed.
