Subject: [PATCH 19/31] netvm: filter emergency skbs.
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2009 19:38:25 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1254406105-16336-1-git-send-email-sjayaraman@suse.de> (raw)
From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>
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.
