net: sched: enable per cpu qstats

2014-09-30T05:02:26+00:00

After previous patches to simplify qstats the qstats can be made per cpu with a packed union in Qdisc struct. Signed-off-by: John Fastabend Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: sched: restrict use of qstats qlen

2014-09-30T05:02:26+00:00

This removes the use of qstats->qlen variable from the classifiers and makes it an explicit argument to gnet_stats_copy_queue(). The qlen represents the qdisc queue length and is packed into the qstats at the last moment before passnig to user space. By handling it explicitely we avoid, in the percpu stats case, having to figure out which per_cpu variable to put it in. It would probably be best to remove it from qstats completely but qstats is a user space ABI and can't be broken. A future patch could make an internal only qstats structure that would avoid having to allocate an additional u32 variable on the Qdisc struct. This would make the qstats struct 128bits instead of 128+32. Signed-off-by: John Fastabend Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: sched: implement qstat helper routines

2014-09-30T05:02:26+00:00

This adds helpers to manipulate qstats logic and replaces locations that touch the counters directly. This simplifies future patches to push qstats onto per cpu counters. Signed-off-by: John Fastabend Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: sched: make bstats per cpu and estimator RCU safe

2014-09-30T05:02:26+00:00

In order to run qdisc's without locking statistics and estimators need to be handled correctly. To resolve bstats make the statistics per cpu. And because this is only needed for qdiscs that are running without locks which is not the case for most qdiscs in the near future only create percpu stats when qdiscs set the TCQ_F_CPUSTATS flag. Next because estimators use the bstats to calculate packets per second and bytes per second the estimator code paths are updated to use the per cpu statistics.

net: rcu-ify tcf_proto

2014-09-13T16:30:25+00:00

rcu'ify tcf_proto this allows calling tc_classify() without holding any locks. Updaters are protected by RTNL. This patch prepares the core net_sched infrastracture for running the classifier/action chains without holding the qdisc lock however it does nothing to ensure cls_xxx and act_xxx types also work without locking. Additional patches are required to address the fall out. Signed-off-by: John Fastabend Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net/*: Fix FSF address in file headers

2013-12-06T17:37:57+00:00

Several files refer to an old address for the Free Software Foundation in the file header comment. Resolve by replacing the address with the URL so that we do not have to keep updating the header comments anytime the address changes.

pkt_sched: Stop using NLA_PUT*().

2012-04-01T22:11:37+00:00

These macros contain a hidden goto, and are thus extremely error prone and make code hard to audit. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Add queue state xoff flag for stack

2011-11-29T17:46:19+00:00

Create separate queue state flags so that either the stack or drivers can turn on XOFF. Added a set of functions used in the stack to determine if a queue is really stopped (either by stack or driver) Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net_sched: accurate bytes/packets stats/rates

2011-01-21T07:31:33+00:00

In commit 44b8288308ac9d (net_sched: pfifo_head_drop problem), we fixed a problem with pfifo_head drops that incorrectly decreased sch->bstats.bytes and sch->bstats.packets Several qdiscs (CHOKe, SFQ, pfifo_head, ...) are able to drop a previously enqueued packet, and bstats cannot be changed, so bstats/rates are not accurate (over estimated) This patch changes the qdisc_bstats updates to be done at dequeue() time instead of enqueue() time. bstats counters no longer account for dropped frames, and rates are more correct, since enqueue() bursts dont have effect on dequeue() rate.
