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>

2008-07-09pkt_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>

2008-01-28[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.

2005-11-05[PKT_SCHED]: (G)RED: Introduce hard droppingThomas Graf
Introduces a new flag TC_RED_HARDDROP which specifies that if ECN marking is enabled packets should still be dropped once the average queue length exceeds the maximum threshold. This _may_ help to avoid global synchronisation during small bursts of peers advertising but not caring about ECN. Use this option very carefully, it does more harm than good if (qth_max - qth_min) does not cover at least two average burst cycles. The difference to the current behaviour, in which we'd run into the hard queue limit, is that due to the low pass filter of RED short bursts are less likely to cause a global synchronisation.

2005-11-05[PKT_SCHED]: GRED: Support ECN markingThomas Graf

2005-11-05[PKT_SCHED]: GRED: Remove auto-creation of default VQThomas Graf
Since we are no longer depending on the default VQ to be always allocated we can leave it up to the user to actually create it. This gives the user the ability to leave it out on purpose and enqueue packets directly to the device without applying the RED algorithm.

2005-11-05[PKT_SCHED]: GRED: Dont abuse default VQ for equalizingThomas Graf
Introduces a new red parameter set for use in equalize mode, although only the qavg variable and the idle period marker are being used for now this makes it possible to allow a separate parameter set to be used for equalize later on. The use of this separate parameter set fixes a bogus start of an idle period in gred_drop() which did start an idle period on the default VQ even if equalize mode was disabled.

2005-11-05[PKT_SCHED]: GRED: Remove initd flagThomas Graf
The case when the default VQ is not set up yet is already handled in a less error prone way. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>
2005-11-05[PKT_SCHED]: GRED: Improve error handling and messagesThomas Graf
Try to enqueue packets if we cannot associate it with a VQ, this basically means that the default VQ has not been set up yet. We must check if the VQ still exists while requeueing, the VQ might have been changed between dequeue and the requeue of the underlying qdisc.

2005-11-05[PKT_SCHED]: GRED: Do not reset statistics in gred_reset/gred_changeThomas Graf
Qdiscs are not supposed to reset statistics in reset() and while changing parameters. My argumentation is that if the user wants the counters to be reset he can simply remove and readd the qdiscs, that's what most users do anyway.

2005-11-05[PKT_SCHED]: GRED: Use new generic red interfaceThomas Graf
Simplifies code a lot by separating the red algorithm and the queueing logic. We now differentiate between probability marks and forced marks but sum them together again to not break backwards compatibility. This brings GRED back to the level of RED and improves the accuracy of the averge queue length calculations when stab suggests a zero shift.

2005-11-05[PKT_SCHED]: GRED: Use central VQ change procedureThomas Graf
Introduces a function gred_change_vq() acting as a central point to change VQ parameters. Fixes priority inheritance in rio mode when the default DP equals 0. Adds proper locking during changes. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>

2005-11-05[PKT_SCHED]: GRED: Use a central table definition change procedureThomas Graf
Introduces a function gred_change_table_def() acting as a central point to change the table definition. Adds missing validations for table definition: MAX_DPs > DPs > 0 and def_DP < DPs thus fixing possible invalid memory reference oopses. Only root could do it but having a typo crashing the machine is a bit hard. Adds missing locking while changing the table definition, the operation of changing the number of DPs and removing shadowed VQs may not be interrupted by a dequeue.

2005-11-05[PKT_SCHED]: GRED: Cleanup equalize flag and add new WRED mode detectionThomas Graf
Introduces a flags variable using bitops and transforms eqp to use it. Converts the conditions of the form (wred && rio) to (wred) since wred can only be enabled in rio mode anyway. The patch also improves WRED mode detection. The current behaviour does not allow WRED mode to be turned off again without removing the whole qdisc first. The new algorithm checks each VQ against each other looking for equal priorities every time a VQ is changed or added. The performance is poor, O(n**2), but it's used only during administrative tasks and the number of VQs is strictly limited.

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!
