mainlining shenanigans
29545f4977
The skb_set_owner_w is unnecessary here. The sendpage call will create a
fresh skb and set the owner correctly from workqueue. Its also not entirely
harmless because it consumes cycles, but also impacts resource accounting
by increasing sk_wmem_alloc. This is charging the socket we are going to
send to for the skb, but we will put it on the workqueue for some time
before this happens so we are artifically inflating sk_wmem_alloc for
this period. Further, we don't know how many skbs will be used to send the
packet or how it will be broken up when sent over the new socket so
charging it with one big sum is also not correct when the workqueue may
break it up if facing memory pressure. Seeing we don't know how/when
this is going to be sent drop the early accounting.
A later patch will do proper accounting charged on receive socket for
the case where skbs get enqueued on the workqueue.

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.
