       Making tcp_do_sendmsg use GFP_ATOMIC would make it too unreliable for other
       situations. Penalizing the whole system just for nbd is not a good idea.

    Andi, sk->allocation not GFP_ATOMIC.

    This is such an old topic Andi, I am surprised you forget all these details
    so quickly.
