This ends up to page_frag_alloc() to allocate skb->data from page_frag_cache->va. During the memory pressure, page_frag_cache->va may be allocated as pfmemalloc page. As a result, the skb->pfmemalloc is always true as skb->data is from page_frag_cache->va. The skb will be dropped if the sock (receiver) does not have SOCK_MEMALLOC. This is expected behaviour under memory pressure. However, once kernel is not under memory pressure any longer (suppose large amount of memory pages are just reclaimed), the page_frag_alloc() may still re-use the prior pfmemalloc page_frag_cache->va to allocate skb->data. As a result, the skb->pfmemalloc is always true unless page_frag_cache->va is re-allocated, even if the kernel is not under memory pressure any longer. Here is how kernel runs into issue. 1. The kernel is under memory pressure and allocation of PAGE_FRAG_CACHE_MAX_ORDER in __page_frag_cache_refill() will fail. Instead, the pfmemalloc page is allocated for page_frag_cache->va. 2: All skb->data from page_frag_cache->va (pfmemalloc) will have skb->pfmemalloc=true. The skb will always be dropped by sock without SOCK_MEMALLOC. This is an expected behaviour. 3. Suppose a large amount of pages are reclaimed and kernel is not under memory pressure any longer. We expect skb->pfmemalloc drop will not happen. 4. Unfortunately, page_frag_alloc() does not proactively re-allocate page_frag_alloc->va and will always re-use the prior pfmemalloc page. The skb->pfmemalloc is always true even kernel is not under memory pressure any longer. Fix this by freeing and re-allocating the page instead of recycling it.
