Blamed commit only dealt with applications issuing small writes.
Issue here is that we allow to force memory schedule for the sk_buff
allocation, but we have no guarantee that sendmsg() is able to
copy some payload in it.
In this patch, I make sure the socket can use up to tcp_wmem[0] bytes.
For example, if we consider tcp_wmem[0] = 4096 (default on x86),
and initial skb->truesize being 1280, tcp_sendmsg() is able to
copy up to 2816 bytes under memory pressure.
Before this patch a sendmsg() sending more than 2816 bytes
would either block forever (if persistent memory pressure),
or return -EAGAIN.
For bigger MTU networks, it is advised to increase tcp_wmem[0]
to avoid sending too small packets.
v2: deal with zero copy paths.

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.
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.
