pkt_sched: Remove TC_RED_OFFLOADED from uapi

2017-12-15T18:35:37+00:00

Following the previous patch, RED is now using the new uniform uapi for indicating it's offloaded. As a result, TC_RED_OFFLOADED is no longer utilized by kernel and can be removed [as it's still not part of any stable release].

netem: support delivering packets in delayed time slots

2017-11-13T01:15:47+00:00

Slotting is a crude approximation of the behaviors of shared media such as cable, wifi, and LTE, which gather up a bunch of packets within a varying delay window and deliver them, relative to that, nearly all at once. It works within the existing loss, duplication, jitter and delay parameters of netem. Some amount of inherent latency must be specified, regardless. The new "slot" parameter specifies a minimum and maximum delay between transmission attempts. The "bytes" and "packets" parameters can be used to limit the amount of information transferred per slot. Examples of use: tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 200us \ slot 800us 10ms bytes 64k packets 42 A more correct example, using stacked netem instances and a packet limit to emulate a tail drop wifi queue with slots and variable packet delivery, with a 200Mbit isochronous underlying rate, and 20ms path delay: tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: netem delay 20ms rate 200mbit \ limit 10000 tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent 1:1 handle 10:1 netem delay 200us \ slot 800us 10ms bytes 64k packets 42 limit 512 Signed-off-by: Dave Taht Signed-off-by: David S.

netem: add uapi to express delay and jitter in nanoseconds

2017-11-13T01:15:47+00:00

netem userspace has long relied on a horrible /proc/net/psched hack to translate the current notion of "ticks" to nanoseconds. Expressing latency and jitter instead, in well defined nanoseconds, increases the dynamic range of emulated delays and jitter in netem. It will also ease a transition where reducing a tick to nsec equivalence would constrain the max delay in prior versions of netem to only 4.3 seconds.

net_sch: red: Add offload ability to RED qdisc

2017-11-08T03:23:37+00:00

Add the ability to offload RED qdisc by using ndo_setup_tc. There are four commands for RED offloading: * TC_RED_SET: handles set and change. * TC_RED_DESTROY: handle qdisc destroy. * TC_RED_STATS: update the qdiscs counters (given as reference) * TC_RED_XSTAT: returns red xstats. Whether RED is being offloaded is being determined every time dump action is being called because parent change of this qdisc could change its offload state but doesn't require any RED function to be called.

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license

2017-11-02T10:19:54+00:00

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default are files without license information under the default license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception which is in the kernels COPYING file: NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". otherwise syscall usage would not be possible. Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the methodology of how this patch was researched.

net/sched: Introduce Credit Based Shaper (CBS) qdisc

2017-10-27T16:48:02+00:00

This queueing discipline implements the shaper algorithm defined by the 802.1Q-2014 Section 8.6.8.2 and detailed in Annex L. It's primary usage is to apply some bandwidth reservation to user defined traffic classes, which are mapped to different queues via the mqprio qdisc. Only a simple software implementation is added for now. Signed-off-by: Vinicius Costa Gomes Signed-off-by: Jesus Sanchez-Palencia Tested-by: Henrik Austad Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher

mqprio: Reserve last 32 classid values for HW traffic classes and misc IDs

2017-10-16T19:53:23+00:00

This patch makes a slight tweak to mqprio in order to bring the classid values used back in line with what is used for mq. The general idea is to reserve values :ffe0 - :ffef to identify hardware traffic classes normally reported via dev->num_tc. By doing this we can maintain a consistent behavior with mq for classid where :1 - :ffdf will represent a physical qdisc mapped onto a Tx queue represented by classid - 1, and the traffic classes will be mapped onto a known subset of classid values reserved for our virtual qdiscs. Note I reserved the range from :fff0 - :ffff since this way we might be able to reuse these classid values with clsact and ingress which would mean that for mq, mqprio, ingress, and clsact we should be able to maintain a similar classid layout.

mqprio: Introduce new hardware offload mode and shaper in mqprio

2017-10-13T20:23:35+00:00

The offload types currently supported in mqprio are 0 (no offload) and 1 (offload only TCs) by setting these values for the 'hw' option. If offloads are supported by setting the 'hw' option to 1, the default offload mode is 'dcb' where only the TC values are offloaded to the device. This patch introduces a new hardware offload mode called 'channel' with 'hw' set to 1 in mqprio which makes full use of the mqprio options, the TCs, the queue configurations and the QoS parameters for the TCs. This is achieved through a new netlink attribute for the 'mode' option which takes values such as 'dcb' (default) and 'channel'. The 'channel' mode also supports QoS attributes for traffic class such as minimum and maximum values for bandwidth rate limits. This patch enables configuring additional HW shaper attributes associated with a traffic class. Currently the shaper for bandwidth rate limiting is supported which takes options such as minimum and maximum bandwidth rates and are offloaded to the hardware in the 'channel' mode. The min and max limits for bandwidth rates are provided by the user along with the TCs and the queue configurations when creating the mqprio qdisc. The interface can be extended to support new HW shapers in future through the 'shaper' attribute. Introduces a new data structure 'tc_mqprio_qopt_offload' for offloading mqprio queue options and use this to be shared between the kernel and device driver. This contains a copy of the existing data structure for mqprio queue options. This new data structure can be extended when adding new attributes for traffic class such as mode, shaper, shaper parameters (bandwidth rate limits). The existing data structure for mqprio queue options will be shared between the kernel and userspace. Example: queues 4@0 4@4 hw 1 mode channel shaper bw_rlimit\ min_rate 1Gbit 2Gbit max_rate 4Gbit 5Gbit To dump the bandwidth rates: qdisc mqprio 804a: root tc 2 map 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 queues:(0:3) (4:7) mode:channel shaper:bw_rlimit min_rate:1Gbit 2Gbit max_rate:4Gbit 5Gbit Signed-off-by: Amritha Nambiar Tested-by: Andrew Bowers Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher

mqprio: Change handling of hw u8 to allow for multiple hardware offload modes

2017-03-15T22:20:27+00:00

This patch is meant to allow for support of multiple hardware offload type for a single device. There is currently no bounds checking for the hw member of the mqprio_qopt structure. This results in us being able to pass values from 1 to 255 with all being treated the same. On retreiving the value it is returned as 1 for anything 1 or greater being set. With this change we are currently adding limited bounds checking by defining an enum and using those values to limit the reported hardware offloads.
