2017-06-06net: sched: introduce a TRAP control actionJiri Pirko
There is need to instruct the HW offloaded path to push certain matched packets to cpu/kernel for further analysis. So this patch introduces a new TRAP control action to TC. For kernel datapath, this action does not make much sense. So with the same logic as in HW, new TRAP behaves similar to STOLEN. The skb is just dropped in the datapath (and virtually ejected to an upper level, which does not exist in case of kernel).

2017-05-17net: sched: introduce tcf block infractructureJiri Pirko
Currently, the filter chains are direcly put into the private structures of qdiscs. In order to be able to have multiple chains per qdisc and to allow filter chains sharing among qdiscs, there is a need for common object that would hold the chains. This introduces such object and calls it "tcf_block". Helpers to get and put the blocks are provided to be called from individual qdisc code. Also, the original filter_list pointers are left in qdisc privs to allow the entry into tcf_block processing without any added overhead of possible multiple pointer dereference on fast path.

2017-03-12net: sched: make default fifo qdiscs appear in the dumpJiri Kosina
The original reason [1] for having hidden qdiscs (potential scalability issues in qdisc_match_from_root() with single linked list in case of large amount of qdiscs) has been invalidated by 59cc1f61f0 ("net: sched: convert qdisc linked list to hashtable"). This allows us for bringing more clarity and determinism into the dump by making default pfifo qdiscs visible. We're not turning this on by default though, at it was deemed [2] too intrusive / unnecessary change of default behavior towards userspace. Instead, TCA_DUMP_INVISIBLE netlink attribute is introduced, which allows applications to request complete qdisc hierarchy dump, including the ones that have always been implicit/invisible. Singleton noop_qdisc stays invisible, as teaching the whole infrastructure about singletons would require quite some surgery with very little gain (seeing no qdisc or seeing noop qdisc in the dump is probably setting the same user expectation).

2016-06-25net_sched: drop packets after root qdisc lock is releasedEric Dumazet
Qdisc performance suffers when packets are dropped at enqueue() time because drops (kfree_skb()) are done while qdisc lock is held, delaying a dequeue() draining the queue. Nominal throughput can be reduced by 50 % when this happens, at a time we would like the dequeue() to proceed as fast as possible. Even FQ is vulnerable to this problem, while one of FQ goals was to provide some flow isolation. This patch adds a 'struct sk_buff **to_free' parameter to all qdisc->enqueue(), and in qdisc_drop() helper. I measured a performance increase of up to 12 %, but this patch is a prereq so that future batches in enqueue() can fly.

2016-06-15net_sched: prio: insure proper transactional behaviorEric Dumazet
Now prio_init() can return -ENOMEM, it also has to make sure any allocated qdiscs are freed, since the caller (qdisc_create()) wont call ->destroy() handler for us. More generally, we want a transactional behavior for "tc qdisc change ...", so prio_tune() should not make modifications if any error is returned. It means that we must validate parameters and allocate missing qdisc(s) before taking root qdisc lock exactly once, to not leave the prio qdisc in an intermediate state.

At Qdisc creation or change time, prio_tune() creates missing pfifo qdiscs but does not return an error code if one qdisc could not be allocated. Leaving a qdisc in non operational state without telling user anything about this problem is not good.

2016-06-07net: sched: do not acquire qdisc spinlock in qdisc/class stats dumpEric Dumazet
Large tc dumps (tc -s {qdisc|class} sh dev ethX) done by Google BwE host agent [1] are problematic at scale : For each qdisc/class found in the dump, we currently lock the root qdisc spinlock in order to get stats. Sampling stats every 5 seconds from thousands of HTB classes is a challenge when the root qdisc spinlock is under high pressure. Not only the dumps take time, they also slow down the fast path (queue/dequeue packets) by 10 % to 20 % in some cases. An audit of existing qdiscs showed that sch_fq_codel is the only qdisc that might need the qdisc lock in fq_codel_dump_stats() and fq_codel_dump_class_stats() In v2 of this patch, I now use the Qdisc running seqcount to provide consistent reads of packets/bytes counters, regardless of 32/64 bit arches. I also changed rate estimators to use the same infrastructure so that they no longer need to lock root qdisc lock.

2015-08-27net: sched: consolidate tc_classify{,_compat}Daniel Borkmann
For classifiers getting invoked via tc_classify(), we always need an extra function call into tc_classify_compat(), as both are being exported as symbols and tc_classify() itself doesn't do much except handling of reclassifications when tp->classify() returned with TC_ACT_RECLASSIFY. CBQ and ATM are the only qdiscs that directly call into tc_classify_compat(), all others use tc_classify(). When tc actions are being configured out in the kernel, tc_classify() effectively does nothing besides delegating. We could spare this layer and consolidate both functions. pktgen on single CPU constantly pushing skbs directly into the netif_receive_skb() path with a dummy classifier on ingress qdisc attached, improves slightly from 22.3Mpps to 23.1Mpps.

2014-09-30net: sched: restrict use of qstats qlenJohn Fastabend
This removes the use of qstats->qlen variable from the classifiers and makes it an explicit argument to gnet_stats_copy_queue(). The qlen represents the qdisc queue length and is packed into the qstats at the last moment before passnig to user space. By handling it explicitely we avoid, in the percpu stats case, having to figure out which per_cpu variable to put it in. It would probably be best to remove it from qstats completely but qstats is a user space ABI and can't be broken. A future patch could make an internal only qstats structure that would avoid having to allocate an additional u32 variable on the Qdisc struct. This would make the qstats struct 128bits instead of 128+32. Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Next, hfsc tries to dequeue from prio, but prio will call sfq dequeue directly, which may return NULL instead of previously peeked-at skb.

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.

2008-08-04net_sched: Add qdisc __NET_XMIT_STOLEN flagJarek Poplawski
Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> noticed: "The other problem that affects all qdiscs supporting actions is TC_ACT_QUEUED/TC_ACT_STOLEN getting mapped to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS even though the packet is not queued, corrupting upper qdiscs' qlen counters." and later explained: "The reason why it translates it at all seems to be to not increase the drops counter. Within a single qdisc this could be avoided by other means easily, upper qdiscs would still increase the counter when we return anything besides NET_XMIT_SUCCESS though. This means we need a new NET_XMIT return value to indicate this to the upper qdiscs. So I'd suggest to introduce NET_XMIT_STOLEN, return that to upper qdiscs and translate it to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS in dev_queue_xmit, similar to NET_XMIT_BYPASS." David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> noticed: "Maybe these NET_XMIT_* values being passed around should be a set of bits. They could be composed of base meanings, combined with specific attributes. So you could say "NET_XMIT_DROP | __NET_XMIT_NO_DROP_COUNT" The attributes get masked out by the top-level ->enqueue() caller, such that the base meanings are the only thing that make their way up into the stack. If it's only about communication within the qdisc tree, let's simply code it that way." This patch is trying to realize these ideas.

The ->bands and ->prio2band parameters were being set outside of the sch_tree_lock() and thus could result in strange behavior and inconsistencies. It might be possible, in the new design (where there will be one qdisc per device TX queue) to allow similar functionality via a TX hash algorithm for RR but I really see no reason to export this aspect of how these multiqueue cards actually implement the scheduling of the the individual DMA TX rings and the single physical MAC/PHY port.

2008-07-08pkt_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.

2008-07-01net-sched: change tcf_destroy_chain() to clear start of filter listPatrick McHardy
Pass double tcf_proto pointers to tcf_destroy_chain() to make it clear the start of the filter list for more consistency. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-01-28[NET_SCHED]: Propagate nla_parse return valuePatrick McHardy
nla_parse() returns more detailed errno codes, propagate them back on error. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> 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.

2008-01-28[NET]: Move Qdisc_class_ops and Qdisc_ops in appropriate sections.Eric Dumazet
Qdisc_class_ops are const, and Qdisc_ops are mostly read. Using "const" and "__read_mostly" qualifiers helps to reduce false sharing. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
