2011-06-06net: Rework netdev_drivername() to avoid warning.David S. Miller
This interface uses a temporary buffer, but for no real reason. And now can generate warnings like: net/sched/sch_generic.c: In function dev_watchdog net/sched/sch_generic.c:254:10: warning: unused variable drivername Just return driver->name directly or "".

2011-05-25sch_sfq: fix peek() implementationEric Dumazet
Since commit eeaeb068f139 (sch_sfq: allow big packets and be fair), sfq_peek() can return a different skb that would be normally dequeued by sfq_dequeue() [ if current slot->allot is negative ] Use generic qdisc_peek_dequeued() instead of custom implementation, to get consistent result.

2011-05-23sch_sfq: avoid giving spurious NET_XMIT_CN signalsEric Dumazet
While chasing a possible net_sched bug, I found that IP fragments have litle chance to pass a congestioned SFQ qdisc : - Say SFQ qdisc is full because one flow is non responsive. - ip_fragment() wants to send two fragments belonging to an idle flow. - sfq_enqueue() queues first packet, but see queue limit reached : - sfq_enqueue() drops one packet from 'big consumer', and returns NET_XMIT_CN. - ip_fragment() cancel remaining fragments. This patch restores fairness, making sure we return NET_XMIT_CN only if we dropped a packet from the same flow.

2011-05-22net: avoid synchronize_rcu() in dev_deactivate_manyEric Dumazet
dev_deactivate_many() issues one synchronize_rcu() call after qdiscs set to noop_qdisc. This call is here to make sure they are no outstanding qdisc-less dev_queue_xmit calls before returning to caller. But in dismantle phase, we dont have to wait, because we wont activate again the device, and we are going to wait one rcu grace period later in rollback_registered_many(). After this patch, device dismantle uses one synchronize_net() and one rcu_barrier() call only, so we have a ~30% speedup and a smaller RTNL latency.

The reason that netem could not be classful with the older API was because of the limitations of the old dequeue/requeue interface; now that qdisc API has a peek function, there is no longer a problem with using any inner qdisc's.

Michigan CSE-TR-387-99, April 1999. http://www.thefengs.com/wuchang/blue/CSE-TR-387-99.pdf This implementation is based on work done by Juliusz Chroboczek General SFB algorithm can be found in figure 14, page 15: B[l][n] : L x N array of bins (L levels, N bins per level) enqueue() Calculate hash function values h{0}, h{1}, .. h{L-1} Update bins at each level for i = 0 to L - 1 if (B[i][h{i}].qlen > bin_size) B[i][h{i}].p_mark += p_increment; else if (B[i][h{i}].qlen == 0) B[i][h{i}].p_mark -= p_decrement; p_min = min(B[0][h{0}].p_mark ... B[L-1][h{L-1}].p_mark); if (p_min == 1.0) ratelimit(); else mark/drop with probabilty p_min; I did the adaptation of Juliusz code to meet current kernel standards, and various changes to address previous comments : http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/90225 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/90375 Default flow classifier is the rxhash introduced by RPS in 2.6.35, but we can use an external flow classifier if wanted. tc qdisc add dev $DEV parent 1:11 handle 11: \ est 0.5sec 2sec sfb limit 128 tc filter add dev $DEV protocol ip parent 11: handle 3 \ flow hash keys dst divisor 1024 Notes: 1) SFB default child qdisc is pfifo_fast. It can be changed by another qdisc but a child qdisc MUST not drop a packet previously queued. This is because SFB needs to handle a dequeued packet in order to maintain its virtual queue states. pfifo_head_drop or CHOKe should not be used. 2) ECN is enabled by default, unlike RED/CHOKe/GRED With help from Patrick McHardy & Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> CC: Juliusz Chroboczek <Juliusz.Chroboczek@pps.jussieu.fr> CC: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> CC: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> CC: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> CC: John W.

2011-02-20net: Fix more stale on-stack list_head objects.Eric W. Biederman
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> In the beginning with batching unreg_list was a list that was used only once in the lifetime of a network device (I think). Now we have calls using the unreg_list that can happen multiple times in the life of a network device like dev_deactivate and dev_close that are also using the unreg_list. In addition in unregister_netdevice_queue we also do a list_move because for devices like veth pairs it is possible that unregister_netdevice_queue will be called multiple times. So I think the change below to fix dev_deactivate which Eric D. missed will fix this problem. Now to go test that. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

If no value is provided, assume the 1024 default size. This allows admins to setup smaller (or bigger) SFQ for specific needs. This also brings back sfq_sched_data allocations to order-0 ones, saving 3KB per SFQ qdisc. Jesper uses ~55.000 SFQ in one machine, this patch should free 165 MB of memory.

2011-01-19net_sched: implement a root container qdisc sch_mqprioJohn Fastabend
This implements a mqprio queueing discipline that by default creates a pfifo_fast qdisc per tx queue and provides the needed configuration interface. Using the mqprio qdisc the number of tcs currently in use along with the range of queues alloted to each class can be configured. By default skbs are mapped to traffic classes using the skb priority. This mapping is configurable. Configurable parameters, struct tc_mqprio_qopt { __u8 num_tc; __u8 prio_tc_map[TC_BITMASK + 1]; __u8 hw; __u16 count[TC_MAX_QUEUE]; __u16 offset[TC_MAX_QUEUE]; }; Here the count/offset pairing give the queue alignment and the prio_tc_map gives the mapping from skb->priority to tc. The hw bit determines if the hardware should configure the count and offset values. If the hardware bit is set then the operation will fail if the hardware does not implement the ndo_setup_tc operation. This is to avoid undetermined states where the hardware may or may not control the queue mapping. Also minimal bounds checking is done on the count/offset to verify a queue does not exceed num_tx_queues and that queue ranges do not overlap. Otherwise it is left to user policy or hardware configuration to create useful mappings. It is expected that hardware QOS schemes can be implemented by creating appropriate mappings of queues in ndo_tc_setup(). One expected use case is drivers will use the ndo_setup_tc to map queue ranges onto 802.1Q traffic classes. This provides a generic mechanism to map network traffic onto these traffic classes and removes the need for lower layer drivers to know specifics about traffic types.

2011-01-14netfilter: fix Kconfig dependenciesPatrick McHardy
Fix dependencies of netfilter realm match: it depends on NET_CLS_ROUTE, which itself depends on NET_SCHED; this dependency is missing from netfilter. Since matching on realms is also useful without having NET_SCHED enabled and the option really only controls whether the tclassid member is included in route and dst entries, rename the config option to IP_ROUTE_CLASSID and move it outside of traffic scheduling context to get rid of the NET_SCHED dependeny.
