qdisc: allow setting default queuing discipline

2013-08-31T04:32:32+00:00

By default, the pfifo_fast queue discipline has been used by default for all devices. But we have better choices now. This patch allow setting the default queueing discipline with sysctl. This allows easy use of better queueing disciplines on all devices without having to use tc qdisc scripts. It is intended to allow an easy path for distributions to make fq_codel or sfq the default qdisc. This patch also makes pfifo_fast more of a first class qdisc, since it is now possible to manually override the default and explicitly use pfifo_fast. The behavior for systems who do not use the sysctl is unchanged, they still get pfifo_fast Also removes leftover random # in sysctl net core.

net_sched: restore "linklayer atm" handling

2013-08-15T08:43:08+00:00

commit 56b765b79 ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates") broke the "linklayer atm" handling. tc class add ... htb rate X ceil Y linklayer atm The linklayer setting is implemented by modifying the rate table which is send to the kernel. No direct parameter were transferred to the kernel indicating the linklayer setting. The commit 56b765b79 ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates") removed the use of the rate table system. To keep compatible with older iproute2 utils, this patch detects the linklayer by parsing the rate table. It also supports future versions of iproute2 to send this linklayer parameter to the kernel directly. This is done by using the __reserved field in struct tc_ratespec, to convey the choosen linklayer option, but only using the lower 4 bits of this field. Linklayer detection is limited to speeds below 100Mbit/s, because at high rates the rtab is gets too inaccurate, so bad that several fields contain the same values, this resembling the ATM detect. Fields even start to contain "0" time to send, e.g. at 1000Mbit/s sending a 96 bytes packet cost "0", thus the rtab have been more broken than we first realized.

net: Remove extern from include/net/ scheduling prototypes

2013-08-01T00:24:22+00:00

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block. Reflow modified prototypes to 80 columns. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net_sched: psched_ratecfg_precompute() improvements

2013-06-12T05:39:47+00:00

Before allowing 64bits bytes rates, refactor psched_ratecfg_precompute() to get better comments and increased accuracy. rate_bps field is renamed to rate_bytes_ps, as we only have to worry about bytes per second. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Ben Greear Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net_sched: add 64bit rate estimators

2013-06-11T09:51:03+00:00

struct gnet_stats_rate_est contains u32 fields, so the bytes per second field can wrap at 34360Mbit. Add a new gnet_stats_rate_est64 structure to get 64bit bps/pps fields, and switch the kernel to use this structure natively. This structure is dumped to user space as a new attribute : TCA_STATS_RATE_EST64 Old tc command will now display the capped bps (to 34360Mbit), instead of wrapped values, and updated tc command will display correct information. Old tc command output, after patch : eric:~# tc -s -d qd sh dev lo qdisc pfifo 8001: root refcnt 2 limit 1000p Sent 80868245400 bytes 1978837 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) rate 34360Mbit 189696pps backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 This patch carefully reorganizes "struct Qdisc" layout to get optimal performance on SMP.

net_sched: restore "overhead xxx" handling

2013-06-03T05:22:35+00:00

commit 56b765b79 ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates") broke the "overhead xxx" handling, as well as the "linklayer atm" attribute. tc class add ... htb rate X ceil Y linklayer atm overhead 10 This patch restores the "overhead xxx" handling, for htb, tbf and act_police The "linklayer atm" thing needs a separate fix.

hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators

2013-02-28T03:10:24+00:00

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] [akpm@linux-foudnation.org: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by: Peter Senna Tschudin Acked-by: Paul E.
