Subject: [PATCH net v2 1/3] net: Introduce sk_use_task_frag in struct sock.

From: Guillaume Nault <gnault@...hat.com>

Sockets that can be used while recursing into memory reclaim, like
those used by network block devices and file systems, mustn't use
current->task_frag: if the current process is already using it, then
the inner memory reclaim call would corrupt the task_frag structure.

To avoid this, sk_page_frag() uses ->sk_allocation to detect sockets
that mustn't use current->task_frag, assuming that those used during
memory reclaim had their allocation constraints reflected in
->sk_allocation.

This unfortunately doesn't cover all cases: in an attempt to remove all
usage of GFP_NOFS and GFP_NOIO, sunrpc stopped setting these flags in
->sk_allocation, and used memalloc_nofs critical sections instead.
This breaks the sk_page_frag() heuristic since the allocation
constraints are now stored in current->flags, which sk_page_frag()
can't read without risking triggering a cache miss and slowing down
TCP's fast path.

This patch creates a new field in struct sock, named sk_use_task_frag,
which sockets with memory reclaim constraints can set to false if they
can't safely use current->task_frag. In such cases, sk_page_frag() now
always returns the socket's page_frag (->sk_frag). The first user is
sunrpc, which needs to avoid using current->task_frag but can keep
->sk_allocation set to GFP_KERNEL otherwise.

Eventually, it might be possible to simplify sk_page_frag() by only
testing ->sk_use_task_frag and avoid relying on the ->sk_allocation
heuristic entirely (assuming other sockets will set ->sk_use_task_frag
according to their constraints in the future).

The new ->sk_use_task_frag field is placed in a hole in struct sock and
belongs to a cache line shared with ->sk_shutdown. Therefore it should
be hot and shouldn't have negative performance impacts on TCP's fast
path (sk_shutdown is tested just before the while() loop in
tcp_sendmsg_locked()).
