From: Eric Dumazet <eduma...@google.com>
tcp_add_backlog() can use skb_condense() helper to get better
gains and less SKB_TRUESIZE() magic. This only happens when socket
backlog has to be used.
Some attacks involve specially crafted out of order tiny TCP packets,
clogging the ofo queue of (many) sockets.
Then later, expensive collapse happens, trying to copy all these skbs
into single ones.
This unfortunately does not work if each skb has no neighbor in TCP
sequence order.
By using skb_condense() if the skb could not be coalesced to a prior
one, we defeat these kind of threats, potentially saving 4K per skb
(or more, since this is one page fragment).
A typical NAPI driver allocates gro packets with GRO_MAX_HEAD bytes
in skb->head, meaning the copy done by skb_condense() is limited to
about 200 bytes.
