rtnetlink: introduce nlmsg_new_large and use it in rtnl_getlink
if a PF has 256 or more VFs, ip link command will allocate an order 3 memory or more, and maybe trigger OOM due to memory fragment, the VFs needed memory size is computed in rtnl_vfinfo_size. so introduce nlmsg_new_large which calls netlink_alloc_large_skb in which vmalloc is used for large memory, to avoid the failure of allocating memory ip invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0xc2cc0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_NOWARN|\ __GFP_COMP|__GFP_NOMEMALLOC), order=3, oom_score_adj=0 CPU: 74 PID: 204414 Comm: ip Kdump: loaded Tainted: P OE Call Trace: dump_stack+0x57/0x6a dump_header+0x4a/0x210 oom_kill_process+0xe4/0x140 out_of_memory+0x3e8/0x790 __alloc_pages_slowpath.constprop.116+0x953/0xc50 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x2af/0x310 kmalloc_large_node+0x38/0xf0 __kmalloc_node_track_caller+0x417/0x4d0 __kmalloc_reserve.isra.61+0x2e/0x80 __alloc_skb+0x82/0x1c0 rtnl_getlink+0x24f/0x370 rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x12c/0x350 netlink_rcv_skb+0x50/0x100 netlink_unicast+0x1b2/0x280 netlink_sendmsg+0x355/0x4a0 sock_sendmsg+0x5b/0x60 ____sys_sendmsg+0x1ea/0x250 ___sys_sendmsg+0x88/0xd0 __sys_sendmsg+0x5e/0xa0 do_syscall_64+0x33/0x40 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 RIP: 0033:0x7f95a65a5b70 Cc: Yunsheng Lin <linyunsheng@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Li RongQing <lirongqing@baidu.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231115120108.3711-1-lirongqing@baidu.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
