Failures caused by GFP_ATOMIC memory pressure have been observed, and
due to the missing error handling, results in kernel crash such as

In order to handle such failures more graceful, this change splits the
receive loop into one for consuming the received buffers, and one for
allocating new buffers.
When GFP_ATOMIC allocations fail, the receive will continue with the
buffers that is still there, and with the expectation that the allocations
will succeed in a later call to receive.

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.
