SubjectBUG in tcp.c ?
Hi,

I found the following lines in tcp.c, after trying to identify
and track down what I thought to be an nbd bug...

net/ipv4/tcp.c:

1028 if (tcp_memory_free(sk))
1029 skb = tcp_alloc_skb(sk, tmp, GFP_KERNEL)

While this looks ok at first glance, it rather conflicts with
the following lines of code from net/core/sock.c:

785 skb = alloc_skb(try_size, sk->allocation);

And from drivers/block/nbd.c:

109 sock->sk->allocation = GFP_ATOMIC;
......
121 if (send)
122 result = sock_sendmsg(sock, &msg, size);


Here we see that the nbd driver sets the allocation type to
GFP_ATOMIC (and for a good reason), sock.c honours this field,
but for some reason tcp.c doesn't ...

Is this an actual bug, or am I overlooking something?

regards,

Rik
