Jakub Kicinski 2fe6b24ce2 net-memcg: avoid stalls when under memory pressure
[ Upstream commit 720ca52bce ]

As Shakeel explains the commit under Fixes had the unintended
side-effect of no longer pre-loading the cached memory allowance.
Even tho we previously dropped the first packet received when
over memory limit - the consecutive ones would get thru by using
the cache. The charging was happening in batches of 128kB, so
we'd let in 128kB (truesize) worth of packets per one drop.

After the change we no longer force charge, there will be no
cache filling side effects. This causes significant drops and
connection stalls for workloads which use a lot of page cache,
since we can't reclaim page cache under GFP_NOWAIT.

Some of the latency can be recovered by improving SACK reneg
handling but nowhere near enough to get back to the pre-5.15
performance (the application I'm experimenting with still
sees 5-10x worst latency).

Apply the suggested workaround of using GFP_ATOMIC. We will now
be more permissive than previously as we'll drop _no_ packets
in softirq when under pressure. But I can't think of any good
and simple way to address that within networking.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
