Re: [PATCH net-next v4] net: ip: avoid OOM kills with large UDP sends over loopback

Dave observed number of machines hitting OOM on the UDP send
path. The workload seems to be sending large UDP packets over
loopback. Since loopback has MTU of 64k kernel will try to
allocate an skb with up to 64k of head space. This has a good
chance of failing under memory pressure. What's worse if
the message length is <32k the allocation may trigger an
OOM killer.
