[PATCH 09/12] netvm: Set PF_MEMALLOC as appropriate during SKB processing

From: Mel Gorman
Date: Thu Apr 14 2011 - 06:43:14 EST


In order to make sure pfmemalloc packets receive all memory needed to proceed,
ensure processing of pfmemalloc SKBs happens under PF_MEMALLOC. This is
limited to a subset of protocols that are expected to be used for writing
to swap. Taps are not allowed to use PF_MEMALLOC as these are expected to
communicate with userspace processes which could be paged out.
