Subject: Re: [PATCH 10/17] netvm: Allow skb allocation to use PFMEMALLOC reserves

> Change the skb allocation API to indicate RX usage and use this to fall
> back to the PFMEMALLOC reserve when needed. SKBs allocated from the
> reserve are tagged in skb->pfmemalloc. If an SKB is allocated from
> the reserve and the socket is later found to be unrelated to page
> reclaim, the packet is dropped so that the memory remains available
> for page reclaim. Network protocols are expected to recover from this
> packet loss.
