====================
fix OOM and order check in msg_zerocopy selftest
In selftests/net/msg_zerocopy.c, it has a while loop keeps calling sendmsg
on a socket with MSG_ZEROCOPY flag, and it will recv the notifications
until the socket is not writable. Typically, it will start the receiving
process after around 30+ sendmsgs. However, as the introduction of commit
dfa2f0483360 ("tcp: get rid of sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale"), the sender is
always writable and does not get any chance to run recv notifications.
The selftest always exits with OUT_OF_MEMORY because the memory used by
opt_skb exceeds the net.core.optmem_max. Meanwhile, it could be set to a
different value to trigger OOM on older kernels too.
Thus, we introduce "cfg_notification_limit" to force sender to receive
notifications after some number of sendmsgs.
And, we find that when lock debugging is on, notifications may not come in
order. Thus, we have order checking outputs managed by cfg_verbose, to
avoid too many outputs in this case.

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 reStructuredText 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.
