skb-&gt;truesize might be big even for a small packet.

Its even bigger after commit 87fb4b7b533 (net: more accurate skb
truesize) and big MTU.

We should allow queueing at least one packet per receiver, even with a
low RCVBUF setting.

skb truesize currently accounts for sk_buff struct and part of skb head.
kmalloc() roundings are also ignored.

Considering that skb_shared_info is larger than sk_buff, its time to
take it into account for better memory accounting.

This patch introduces SKB_TRUESIZE(X) macro to centralize various
assumptions into a single place.

At skb alloc phase, we put skb_shared_info struct at the exact end of
skb head, to allow a better use of memory (lowering number of
reallocations), since kmalloc() gives us power-of-two memory blocks.

Unless SLUB/SLUB debug is active, both skb-&gt;head and skb_shared_info are
aligned to cache lines, as before.

Note: This patch might trigger performance regressions because of
misconfigured protocol stacks, hitting per socket or global memory
limits that were previously not reached. But its a necessary step for a
more accurate memory accounting.

When assigning a NULL value to an RCU protected pointer, no barrier
is needed. The rcu_assign_pointer, used to handle that but will soon
change to not handle the special case.

Convert all rcu_assign_pointer of NULL value.

//smpl
@@ expression P; @@

- rcu_assign_pointer(P, NULL)
+ RCU_INIT_POINTER(P, NULL)

// &lt;/smpl&gt;

<title>core: add tracepoints for queueing skb to rcvbuf</title>

This patch adds 2 tracepoints to get a status of a socket receive queue
and related parameter.

One tracepoint is added to sock_queue_rcv_skb. It records rcvbuf size
and its usage. The other tracepoint is added to __sk_mem_schedule and
it records limitations of memory for sockets and current usage.

By using these tracepoints we're able to know detailed reason why kernel
drop the packet.
