[ Upstream commit 03a92f036a04fed2b00d69f5f46f1a486e70dc5c ] When allocating receive buffers for the vsock virtio RX virtqueue, an SKB is allocated with a 4140 data payload (the 44-byte packet header + VIRTIO_VSOCK_DEFAULT_RX_BUF_SIZE). Even when factoring in the SKB overhead, the resulting 8KiB allocation thanks to the rounding in kmalloc_reserve() is wasteful (~3700 unusable bytes) and results in a higher-order page allocation on systems with 4KiB pages just for the sake of a few hundred bytes of packet data. Limit the vsock virtio RX buffers to 4KiB per SKB, resulting in much better memory utilisation and removing the need to allocate higher-order pages entirely.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
