[ Upstream commit f969dc5a885736842c3511ecdea240fbb02d25d9 ] While commit 24adbc1676af ("tcp: fix SO_RCVLOWAT hangs with fat skbs") fixed an issue vs too small sk_rcvbuf for given sk_rcvlowat constraint, it missed to address issue caused by memory pressure. 1) If we are under memory pressure and socket receive queue is empty. First incoming packet is allowed to be queued, after commit 76dfa6082032 ("tcp: allow one skb to be received per socket under memory pressure") But we do not send EPOLLIN yet, in case tcp_data_ready() sees sk_rcvlowat is bigger than skb length. 2) Then, when next packet comes, it is dropped, and we directly call sk->sk_data_ready(). 3) If application is using poll(), tcp_poll() will then use tcp_stream_is_readable() and decide the socket receive queue is not yet filled, so nothing will happen. Even when sender retransmits packets, phases 2) & 3) repeat and flow is effectively frozen, until memory pressure is off. Fix is to consider tcp_under_memory_pressure() to take care of global memory pressure or memcg pressure.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
