From: Eric Dumazet <eduma...@google.com> A driver using dev_alloc_page() must not reuse a page allocated from emergency memory reserve.
Otherwise all packets using this page will be immediately dropped, unless for very specific sockets having SOCK_MEMALLOC bit set. This issue might be hard to debug, because only a fraction of received packets would be dropped.
