[PATCH net-next 0/3] net: add new socket option SO_RESERVE_MEM

From: Wei Wang <hidden>
Date: 2021-09-27 18:25:28

This patch series introduces a new socket option SO_RESERVE_MEM. 
This socket option provides a mechanism for users to reserve a certain
amount of memory for the socket to use. When this option is set, kernel
charges the user specified amount of memory to memcg, as well as
sk_forward_alloc. This amount of memory is not reclaimable and is
available in sk_forward_alloc for this socket.
With this socket option set, the networking stack spends less cycles
doing forward alloc and reclaim, which should lead to better system
performance, with the cost of an amount of pre-allocated and
unreclaimable memory, even under memory pressure.

The first patch is the implementation of this socket option. The
following 2 patches change the tcp stack to make use of this reserved
memory when under memory pressure. This makes the tcp stack behavior
more flexible when under memory pressure, and provides a way for user to
control the distribution of the memory among its sockets.

  tcp: adjust sndbuf according to sk_reserved_mem
  tcp: adjust rcv_ssthresh according to sk_reserved_mem
