2015-08-18net: sched: drop all special handling of tx_queue_len == 0Phil Sutter
Those were all workarounds for the formerly double meaning of tx_queue_len, which broke scheduling algorithms if untreated. Now that all in-tree drivers have been converted away from setting tx_queue_len = 0, it should be safe to drop these workarounds for categorically broken setups.

2015-05-13Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/netDavid S. Miller
Four minor merge conflicts: 1) qca_spi.c renamed the local variable used for the SPI device from spi_device to spi, meanwhile the spi_set_drvdata() call got moved further up in the probe function. 2) Two changes were both adding new members to codel params structure, and thus we had overlapping changes to the initializer function. 3) 'net' was making a fix to sk_release_kernel() which is completely removed in 'net-next'. 4) In net_namespace.c, the rtnl_net_fill() call for GET operations had the command value fixed, meanwhile 'net-next' adjusted the argument signature a bit. This also matches example merge resolutions posted by Stephen Rothwell over the past two days. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2015-05-12net_sched: gred: add TCA_GRED_LIMIT attributeDavid Ward
In a GRED qdisc, if the default "virtual queue" (VQ) does not have drop parameters configured, then packets for the default VQ are not subjected to RED and are only dropped if the queue is larger than the net_device's tx_queue_len. This behavior is useful for WRED mode, since these packets will still influence the calculated average queue length and (therefore) the drop probability for all of the other VQs. However, for some drivers tx_queue_len is zero. In other cases the user may wish to make the limit the same for all VQs (including the default VQ with no drop parameters). This change adds a TCA_GRED_LIMIT attribute to set the GRED queue limit, in bytes, during qdisc setup. (This limit is in bytes to be consistent with the drop parameters.) The default limit is the same as for a bfifo queue (tx_queue_len * psched_mtu). If the drop parameters of any VQ are configured with a smaller limit than the GRED queue limit, that VQ will still observe the smaller limit instead.

2015-05-11net_sched: gred: use correct backlog value in WRED modeDavid Ward
In WRED mode, the backlog for a single virtual queue (VQ) should not be used to determine queue behavior; instead the backlog is summed across all VQs. This sum is currently used when calculating the average queue lengths. It also needs to be used when determining if the queue's hard limit has been reached, or when reporting each VQ's backlog via netlink. q->backlog will only be used if the queue switches out of WRED mode.

2012-09-13net_sched: gred: actually perform idling in WRED modeDavid Ward
gred_dequeue() and gred_drop() do not seem to get called when the queue is empty, meaning that we never start idling while in WRED mode. And since qidlestart is not stored by gred_store_wred_set(), we would never stop idling while in WRED mode if we ever started. This messes up the average queue size calculation that influences packet marking/dropping behavior. Now, we start WRED mode idling as we are removing the last packet from the queue. Also we now actually stop WRED mode idling when we are enqueuing a packet.

2012-09-13net_sched: gred: fix qave reporting via netlinkDavid Ward
q->vars.qavg is a Wlog scaled value, but q->backlog is not. In order to pass q->vars.qavg as the backlog value, we need to un-scale it. Additionally, the qave value returned via netlink should not be Wlog scaled, so we need to un-scale the result of red_calc_qavg(). This caused artificially high values for "Average Queue" to be shown by 'tc -s -d qdisc', but did not affect the actual operation of GRED.

2012-04-16net_sched: gred: Fix oops in gred_dump() in WRED modeDavid Ward
A parameter set exists for WRED mode, called wred_set, to hold the same values for qavg and qidlestart across all VQs. The WRED mode values had been previously held in the VQ for the default DP. After these values were moved to wred_set, the VQ for the default DP was no longer created automatically (so that it could be omitted on purpose, to have packets in the default DP enqueued directly to the device without using RED). However, gred_dump() was overlooked during that change; in WRED mode it still reads qavg/qidlestart from the VQ for the default DP, which might not even exist. As a result, this command sequence will cause an oops: tc qdisc add dev $DEV handle $HANDLE parent $PARENT gred setup \ DPs 3 default 2 grio tc qdisc change dev $DEV handle $HANDLE gred DP 0 prio 8 $RED_OPTIONS tc qdisc change dev $DEV handle $HANDLE gred DP 1 prio 8 $RED_OPTIONS This fixes gred_dump() in WRED mode to use the values held in wred_set.

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.

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.
