Content-Disposition: inline; filename=netvm-sk_filter.patch Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org Return-Path: To: Linus Torvalds , Andrew Morton , linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, linux-mm@kvack.org, netdev@vger.kernel.org, trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no Cc: Peter Zijlstra List-ID: Toss all emergency packets not for a SOCK_MEMALLOC socket. This ensures our precious memory reserve doesn't get stuck waiting for user-space. The correctness of this approach relies on the fact that networks must be assumed lossy.
