From e89df813174d81abee8be8cabc047d69ef78c26d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2017 09:11:22 -0800 Subject: netlink: do not enter direct reclaim from netlink_trim() In commit d35c99ff77ecb ("netlink: do not enter direct reclaim from netlink_dump()") we made sure to not trigger expensive memory reclaim. Problem is that a bit later, netlink_trim() might be called and trigger memory reclaim. netlink_trim() should be best effort, and really as fast as possible. Under memory pressure, it is fine to not trim this skb. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov Signed-off-by: David S.
