The CDC-NCM driver can require large amounts of memory to create skb's and this can be a problem when the memory becomes fragmented. This especially affects embedded systems that have constrained resources but wish to maximise the throughput of CDC-NCM with 16KiB NTB's. The issue is after running for a while the kernel memory can become fragmented and it needs compacting. If the NTB allocation is needed before the memory has been compacted the atomic allocation can fail which can cause increased latency, large re-transmissions or disconnections depending upon the data being transmitted at the time. This situation occurs for less than a second until the kernel has compacted the memory but the failed devices can take a lot longer to recover from the failed TX packets. To ease this temporary situation I modified the CDC-NCM TX path to temporarily switch into a reduced memory mode which allocates an NTB that will fit into a USB_CDC_NCM_NTB_MIN_OUT_SIZE (default 2048 Bytes) sized memory block and only transmit NTB's with a single network frame until the memory situation is resolved. Each time this issue occurs we wait for an increasing number of reduced size allocations before requesting a full size one to not put additional pressure on a low memory system. Once the memory is compacted the CDC-NCM data can resume transmitting at the normal tx_max rate once again.
