David Rientjes f8c468e853 net, skbuff: do not prefer skb allocation fails early 
Commit dcda9b0471 ("mm, tree wide: replace __GFP_REPEAT by
__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL with more useful semantic") replaced __GFP_REPEAT in
alloc_skb_with_frags() with __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL when the allocation may
directly reclaim.

The previous behavior would require reclaim up to 1 << order pages for
skb aligned header_len of order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER before failing,
otherwise the allocations in alloc_skb() would loop in the page allocator
looking for memory.  __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL makes both allocations failable
under memory pressure, including for the HEAD allocation.

This can cause, among many other things, write() to fail with ENOTCONN
during RPC when under memory pressure.

These allocations should succeed as they did previous to dcda9b0471
even if it requires calling the oom killer and additional looping in the
page allocator to find memory.  There is no way to specify the previous
behavior of __GFP_REPEAT, but it's unlikely to be necessary since the
previous behavior only guaranteed that 1 << order pages would be reclaimed
before failing for order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.  That reclaim is not
guaranteed to be contiguous memory, so repeating for such large orders is
usually not beneficial.

Removing the setting of __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL to restore the previous
behavior, specifically not allowing alloc_skb() to fail for small orders
and oom kill if necessary rather than allowing RPCs to fail.

Fixes: dcda9b0471 ("mm, tree wide: replace __GFP_REPEAT by __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL with more useful semantic")

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.
