This however, is not always possible because: + +1) The application may not have been coded to set this value +2) The priority of application traffic is often a site-specific administrative + decision rather than an application defined one. + +This cgroup allows an administrator to assign a process to a group which defines +the priority of egress traffic on a given interface. Network priority groups can +be created by first mounting the cgroup filesystem. + +# mount -t cgroup -onet_prio none /sys/fs/cgroup/net_prio + +With the above step, the initial group acting as the parent accounting group +becomes visible at '/sys/fs/cgroup/net_prio'.

It contains a unique integer +value that the kernel uses as an internal representation of this cgroup. + +net_prio.ifpriomap +This file contains a map of the priorities assigned to traffic originating from +processes in this group and egressing the system on various interfaces. It +contains a list of tuples in the form <ifname priority>. Contents of this file +can be modified by echoing a string into the file using the same tuple format. +for example: + +echo "eth0 5" > /sys/fs/cgroups/net_prio/iscsi/net_prio.ifpriomap + +This command would force any traffic originating from processes belonging to the +iscsi net_prio cgroup and egressing on interface eth0 to have the priority of +said traffic set to the value 5. The parent accounting group also has a +writeable 'net_prio.ifpriomap' file that can be used to set a system default +priority. + +Priorities are set immediately prior to queueing a frame to the device +queueing discipline (qdisc) so priorities will be assigned prior to the hardware +queue selection being made. + +One usage for the net_prio cgroup is with mqprio qdisc allowing application +traffic to be steered to hardware/driver based traffic classes. These mappings +can then be managed by administrators or other networking protocols such as +DCBX. diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/calxeda-xgmac.txt b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/calxeda-xgmac.txt new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..411727a3f82d --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/calxeda-xgmac.txt @@ -0,0 +1,15 @@ +* Calxeda Highbank 10Gb XGMAC Ethernet + +Required properties: +- compatible : Should be "calxeda,hb-xgmac" +- reg : Address and length of the register set for the device +- interrupts : Should contain 3 xgmac interrupts.
