net: introduce netdev_alloc_frag()
Fix two issues introduced in commit a1c7fff7e18f5 ( net: netdev_alloc_skb() use build_skb() ) - Must be IRQ safe (non NAPI drivers can use it) - Must not leak the frag if build_skb() fails to allocate sk_buff This patch introduces netdev_alloc_frag() for drivers willing to use build_skb() instead of __netdev_alloc_skb() variants. Factorize code so that : __dev_alloc_skb() is a wrapper around __netdev_alloc_skb(), and dev_alloc_skb() a wrapper around netdev_alloc_skb() Use __GFP_COLD flag. Almost all network drivers now benefit from skb->head_frag infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
