2012-04-01pkt_sched: Stop using NLA_PUT*().David S. Miller
These macros contain a hidden goto, and are thus extremely error prone and make code hard to audit. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-03-03net_sched: reduce fifo qdisc sizeEric Dumazet
Because of various alignements [SLUB / qdisc], we use 512 bytes of memory for one {p|b}fifo qdisc, instead of 256 bytes on 64bit arches and 192 bytes on 32bit ones. Move the "u32 limit" inside "struct Qdisc" (no impact on other qdiscs) Change qdisc_alloc(), first trying a regular allocation before an oversized one.

2011-01-22net_sched: TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS generalizationEric Dumazet
Now qdisc stab is handled before TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS test in __dev_xmit_skb(), we can generalize TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS to other qdiscs than pfifo_fast : pfifo, bfifo, pfifo_head_drop and sfq SFQ is special because it can have external classifiers, and in these cases, we cannot bypass queue discipline (packet could be dropped by classifier) without admin asking it, or further changes. Its worth doing this, especially for SFQ, avoiding dirtying memory in case no packets are already waiting in queue. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-01-21net_sched: accurate bytes/packets stats/ratesEric Dumazet
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.

2011-01-05net_sched: pfifo_head_drop problemEric Dumazet
commit 57dbb2d83d100ea (sched: add head drop fifo queue) introduced pfifo_head_drop, and broke the invariant that sch->bstats.bytes and sch->bstats.packets are COUNTER (increasing counters only) This can break estimators because est_timer() handles unsigned deltas only. A decreasing counter can then give a huge unsigned delta. My mid term suggestion would be to change things so that sch->bstats.bytes and sch->bstats.packets are incremented in dequeue() only, not at enqueue() time. We also could add drop_bytes/drop_packets and provide estimations of drop rates. It would be more sensible anyway for very low speeds, and big bursts. Right now, if we drop packets, they still are accounted in byte/packets abolute counters and rate estimators. Before this mid term change, this patch makes pfifo_head_drop behavior similar to other qdiscs in case of drops : Dont decrement sch->bstats.bytes and sch->bstats.packets Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Acked-by: Hagen Paul Pfeifer <hagen@jauu.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-01-29sched: add head drop fifo queueHagen Paul Pfeifer
This adds an additional queuing strategy, called pfifo_head_drop, to remove the oldest skb in the case of an overflow within the queue - the head element - instead of the last skb (tail). To remove the oldest skb in congested situations is useful for sensor network environments where newer packets reflect the superior information.

2008-11-14pkt_sched: Remove qdisc->ops->requeue() etc.Jarek Poplawski
After implementing qdisc->ops->peek() and changing sch_netem into classless qdisc there are no more qdisc->ops->requeue() users. This patch removes this method with its wrappers (qdisc_requeue()), and also unused qdisc->requeue structure. There are a few minor fixes of warnings (htb_enqueue()) and comments btw. The idea to kill ->requeue() and a similar patch were first developed by David S. Miller. Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-10-31pkt_sched: Add ->peek() methods for fifo, prio and SFQ qdiscs.Patrick McHardy
From: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Just as a demonstration how easy adding a peek operation to the work-conserving qdiscs actually is. It doesn't need to keep or change any internal state in many cases thanks to the guarantee that the packet will either be dequeued or, if another packet arrives, the upper qdisc will immediately ->peek again to reevaluate the state.

2008-07-09pkt_sched: Remove 'dev' member of struct Qdisc.David S. Miller
It can be obtained via the netdev_queue. So create a helper routine, qdisc_dev(), to make the transformations nicer looking. Now, qdisc_alloc() now no longer needs a net_device pointer argument. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-07-08netdev: Create netdev_queue abstraction.David S. Miller
A netdev_queue is an entity managed by a qdisc. Currently there is one RX and one TX queue, and a netdev_queue merely contains a backpointer to the net_device. The Qdisc struct is augmented with a netdev_queue pointer as well. Eventually the 'dev' Qdisc member will go away and we will have the resulting hierarchy: net_device --> netdev_queue --> Qdisc Also, qdisc_alloc() and qdisc_create_dflt() now take a netdev_queue pointer argument.

2008-01-28[NET_SCHED]: Convert packet schedulers from rtnetlink to new netlink APIPatrick McHardy
Convert packet schedulers to use the netlink API. Unfortunately a gradual conversion is not possible without breaking compilation in the middle or adding lots of casts, so this patch converts them all in one step. The patch has been mostly generated automatically with some minor edits to at least allow seperate conversion of classifiers and actions.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
