ATM accounts for in-flight TX packets in sk_wmem_alloc of the VCC on which they are to be sent. But it doesn't take ownership of those packets from the sock (if any) which originally owned them. They should remain owned by their actual sender until they've left the box. There's a hack in pskb_expand_head() to avoid adjusting skb->truesize for certain skbs, precisely to avoid messing up sk_wmem_alloc accounting. Ideally that hack would cover the ATM use case too, but it doesn't — skbs which aren't owned by any sock, for example PPP control frames, still get their truesize adjusted when the low-level ATM driver adds headroom. This has always been an issue, it seems. The truesize of a packet increases, and sk_wmem_alloc on the VCC goes negative. But this wasn't for normal traffic, only for control frames. So I think we just got away with it, and we probably needed to send 2GiB of LCP echo frames before the misaccounting would ever have caused a problem and caused atm_may_send() to start refusing packets.
