Revision bc16e47f03a7dce9ad68029b21519265c334eb12 authored by Roman Gushchin on 23 October 2014, 03:32:27 UTC, committed by Jeff Kirsher on 30 October 2014, 11:56:52 UTC
Incoming packet is dropped silently by sk_filter(), if the skb was allocated from pfmemalloc reserves and the corresponding socket is not marked with the SOCK_MEMALLOC flag. Igb driver allocates pages for DMA with __skb_alloc_page(), which calls alloc_pages_node() with the __GFP_MEMALLOC flag. So, in case of OOM condition, igb can get pages with pfmemalloc flag set. If an incoming packet hits the pfmemalloc page and is large enough (small packets are copying into the memory, allocated with netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align(), so they are not affected), it will be dropped. This behavior is ok under high memory pressure, but the problem is that the igb driver reuses these mapped pages. So, packets are still dropping even if all memory issues are gone and there is a plenty of free memory. In my case, some TCP sessions hang on a small percentage (< 0.1%) of machines days after OOMs. Fix this by avoiding reuse of such pages.
