net/sched: sch_cake: share shaper state across sub-instances of cake_mq

2026-01-13T10:54:29+00:00

This commit adds shared shaper state across the cake instances beneath a cake_mq qdisc. It works by periodically tracking the number of active instances, and scaling the configured rate by the number of active queues. The scan is lockless and simply reads the qlen and the last_active state variable of each of the instances configured beneath the parent cake_mq instance. Locking is not required since the values are only updated by the owning instance, and eventual consistency is sufficient for the purpose of estimating the number of active queues. The interval for scanning the number of active queues is set to 200 us. We found this to be a good tradeoff between overhead and response time.

sched: Dump configuration and statistics of dualpi2 qdisc

2025-07-24T00:52:07+00:00

The configuration and statistics dump of the DualPI2 Qdisc provides information related to both queues, such as packet numbers and queuing delays in the L-queue and C-queue, as well as general information such as probability value, WRR credits, memory usage, packet marking counters, max queue size, etc. The following patch includes enqueue/dequeue for DualPI2.

sched: Struct definition and parsing of dualpi2 qdisc

2025-07-24T00:52:07+00:00

DualPI2 is the reference implementation of IETF RFC9332 DualQ Coupled AQM (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9332) providing two queues called low latency (L-queue) and classic (C-queue). By default, it enqueues non-ECN and ECT(0) packets into the C-queue and ECT(1) and CE packets into the low latency queue (L-queue), as per IETF RFC9332 spec. This patch defines the dualpi2 Qdisc structure and parsing, and the following two patches include dumping and enqueue/dequeue for the DualPI2.

net: sched: uapi: add more sanely named duplicate defines

2025-05-15T18:44:29+00:00

The TCA_FLOWER_KEY_CFM enum has a UNSPEC and MAX with _OPT in the name, but the real attributes don't. Add a MAX that more reasonably matches the attrs. The PAD in TCA_TAPRIO is the only attr which doesn't have _ATTR in it, perhaps signifying that it's not a real attr? If so interesting idea in abstract but it makes codegen painful.

net: add UAPI to the header guard in various network headers

2025-04-18T02:04:50+00:00

fib_rule, ip6_tunnel, and a whole lot of if_* headers lack the customary _UAPI in the header guard. Without it YNL build can't protect from in tree and system headers both getting included. YNL doesn't need most of these but it's annoying to have to fix them one by one. Note that header installation strips this _UAPI prefix so this should result in no change to the end user.

net_sched: sch_fq: add the ability to offload pacing

2024-10-04T22:37:54+00:00

Some network devices have the ability to offload EDT (Earliest Departure Time) which is the model used for TCP pacing and FQ packet scheduler. Some of them implement the timing wheel mechanism described in https://saeed.github.io/files/carousel-sigcomm17.pdf with an associated 'timing wheel horizon'. This patchs adds to FQ packet scheduler TCA_FQ_OFFLOAD_HORIZON attribute. Its value is capped by the device max_pacing_offload_horizon, added in the prior patch. It allows FQ to let packets within pacing offload horizon to be delivered to the device, which will handle the needed delay without host involvement.
