Eric Dumazet 38ab52e8e1 tcp: clear pfmemalloc on outgoing skb
Josef Bacik diagnosed following problem :

   I was seeing random disconnects while testing NBD over loopback.
   This turned out to be because NBD sets pfmemalloc on it's socket,
   however the receiving side is a user space application so does not
   have pfmemalloc set on its socket. This means that
   sk_filter_trim_cap will simply drop this packet, under the
   assumption that the other side will simply retransmit. Well we do
   retransmit, and then the packet is just dropped again for the same
   reason.

It seems the better way to address this problem is to clear pfmemalloc
in the TCP transmit path. pfmemalloc strict control really makes sense
on the receive path.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
