net: avoid double accounting for pure zerocopy skbs
Track skbs containing only zerocopy data and avoid charging them to kernel memory to correctly account the memory utilization for msg_zerocopy. All of the data in such skbs is held in user pages which are already accounted to user. Before this change, they are charged again in kernel in __zerocopy_sg_from_iter. The charging in kernel is excessive because data is not being copied into skb frags. This excessive charging can lead to kernel going into memory pressure state which impacts all sockets in the system adversely. Mark pure zerocopy skbs with a SKBFL_PURE_ZEROCOPY flag and remove charge/uncharge for data in such skbs. Initially, an skb is marked pure zerocopy when it is empty and in zerocopy path. skb can then change from a pure zerocopy skb to mixed data skb (zerocopy and copy data) if it is at tail of write queue and there is room available in it and non-zerocopy data is being sent in the next sendmsg call. At this time sk_mem_charge is done for the pure zerocopied data and the pure zerocopy flag is unmarked. We found that this happens very rarely on workloads that pass MSG_ZEROCOPY. A pure zerocopy skb can later be coalesced into normal skb if they are next to each other in queue but this patch prevents coalescing from happening. This avoids complexity of charging when skb downgrades from pure zerocopy to mixed. This is also rare. In sk_wmem_free_skb, if it is a pure zerocopy skb, an sk_mem_uncharge for SKB_TRUESIZE(skb_end_offset(skb)) is done for sk_mem_charge in tcp_skb_entail for an skb without data. Testing with the msg_zerocopy.c benchmark between two hosts(100G nics) with zerocopy showed that before this patch the 'sock' variable in memory.stat for cgroup2 that tracks sum of sk_forward_alloc, sk_rmem_alloc and sk_wmem_queued is around 1822720 and with this change it is 0. This is due to no charge to sk_forward_alloc for zerocopy data and shows memory utilization for kernel is lowered. With this commit we don't see the warning we saw in previous commit which resulted in commit 84882cf72cd774cf16fd338bdbf00f69ac9f9194.
