The skb->pfmemalloc flag gets set to true iff during the slab allocation of data in __alloc_skb that the the PFMEMALLOC reserves were used. If page splitting is used, it is possible that pages will be allocated from the PFMEMALLOC reserve without propagating this information to the skb. This patch propagates page->pfmemalloc from pages allocated for fragments to the skb. It works by reintroducing and expanding the skb_alloc_page() API to take an skb. If the page was allocated from pfmemalloc reserves, it is automatically copied. If the driver allocates the page before the skb, it should call skb_propagate_pfmemalloc() after the skb is allocated to ensure the flag is copied properly. Failure to do so is not critical. The resulting driver may perform slower if it is used for swap-over-NBD or swap-over-NFS but it should not result in failure.
