            Bug ID: 215329
           Summary: The vsock component triggers out of memory when
                    sending small packets.
           Product: Networking
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 4.19.90
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Other
          Assignee: stephen@...workplumber.org
          Reporter: kircherlike@...look.com
        Regression: No

The memory usage of the vsock component when sending small packets is much
higher than that when sending large packets. When the VM memory is
insufficient, the out of memory is triggered.

Server（host）：iperf3 --vsock -s 2
Client（guest）：iperf3 --vsock -c 2 -t 10000 -l 1 -P 100

Slab information of kernel kmalloc in the 1 KB data packet is sent. The values
of kmalloc-256 and kmalloc-4096 are significantly higher than those in the
normal environment.

Traffic sending environment:
