---help---
When the kernel has several packets to send out over a network
device, it has to decide which ones to send first, which ones to
delay, and which ones to drop. This is the job of the queueing
disciplines, several different algorithms for how to do this
"fairly" have been proposed.
If you say N here, you will get the standard packet scheduler, which
is a FIFO (first come, first served). If you say Y here, you will be
able to choose from among several alternative algorithms which can
then be attached to different network devices. This is useful for
example if some of your network devices are real time devices that
need a certain minimum data flow rate, or if you need to limit the
maximum data flow rate for traffic which matches specified criteria.
This code is considered to be experimental.
To administer these schedulers, you'll need the user-level utilities
from the package iproute2+tc at <ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/net/ip-routing/>.
That package also contains some documentation; for more, check out
Docs/Kconfig: Update: osdl.org -> linuxfoundation.org Some of the documentation refers to web pages under the domain `osdl.org'. However, `osdl.org' now redirects to `linuxfoundation.org'. Rather than rely on redirections, this patch updates the addresses appropriately; for the most part, only documentation that is meant to be current has been updated. The patch should be pretty quick to scan and check; each new web-page url was gotten by trying out the original URL in a browser and then simply copying the the redirected URL (formatting as necessary). There is some conflict as to which one of these domain names is preferred: linuxfoundation.org linux-foundation.org So, I wrote: info@linuxfoundation.org and got this reply: Message-ID: <4CE17EE6.9040807@linuxfoundation.org> Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2010 10:41:42 -0800 From: David Ames <david@linuxfoundation.org> ... linuxfoundation.org is preferred. The canonical name for our web site is www.linuxfoundation.org. Our list site is actually lists.linux-foundation.org. Regarding email linuxfoundation.org is preferred there are a few people who choose to use linux-foundation.org for their own reasons. Consequently, I used `linuxfoundation.org' for web pages and `lists.linux-foundation.org' for mailing-list web pages and email addresses; the only personal email address I updated from `@osdl.org' was that of Andrew Morton, who prefers `linux-foundation.org' according `git log'.

net_sched: implement a root container qdisc sch_mqprio This implements a mqprio queueing discipline that by default creates a pfifo_fast qdisc per tx queue and provides the needed configuration interface. Using the mqprio qdisc the number of tcs currently in use along with the range of queues alloted to each class can be configured. By default skbs are mapped to traffic classes using the skb priority. This mapping is configurable. Configurable parameters, struct tc_mqprio_qopt { __u8 num_tc; __u8 prio_tc_map[TC_BITMASK + 1]; __u8 hw; __u16 count[TC_MAX_QUEUE]; __u16 offset[TC_MAX_QUEUE]; }; Here the count/offset pairing give the queue alignment and the prio_tc_map gives the mapping from skb->priority to tc. The hw bit determines if the hardware should configure the count and offset values. If the hardware bit is set then the operation will fail if the hardware does not implement the ndo_setup_tc operation. This is to avoid undetermined states where the hardware may or may not control the queue mapping. Also minimal bounds checking is done on the count/offset to verify a queue does not exceed num_tx_queues and that queue ranges do not overlap. Otherwise it is left to user policy or hardware configuration to create useful mappings. It is expected that hardware QOS schemes can be implemented by creating appropriate mappings of queues in ndo_tc_setup(). One expected use case is drivers will use the ndo_setup_tc to map queue ranges onto 802.1Q traffic classes. This provides a generic mechanism to map network traffic onto these traffic classes and removes the need for lower layer drivers to know specifics about traffic types.

codel: Controlled Delay AQM An implementation of CoDel AQM, from Kathleen Nichols and Van Jacobson. http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2209336 This AQM main input is no longer queue size in bytes or packets, but the delay packets stay in (FIFO) queue. As we don't have infinite memory, we still can drop packets in enqueue() in case of massive load, but mean of CoDel is to drop packets in dequeue(), using a control law based on two simple parameters : target : target sojourn time (default 5ms) interval : width of moving time window (default 100ms) Based on initial work from Dave Taht. Refactored to help future codel inclusion as a plugin for other linux qdisc (FQ_CODEL, ...), like RED. include/net/codel.h contains codel algorithm as close as possible than Kathleen reference. net/sched/sch_codel.c contains the linux qdisc specific glue. Separate structures permit a memory efficient implementation of fq_codel (to be sent as a separate work) : Each flow has its own struct codel_vars. timestamps are taken at enqueue() time with 1024 ns precision, allowing a range of 2199 seconds in queue, and 100Gb links support. iproute2 uses usec as base unit. Selected packets are dropped, unless ECN is enabled and packets can get ECN mark instead. Tested from 2Mb to 10Gb speeds with no particular problems, on ixgbe and tg3 drivers (BQL enabled). Usage: tc qdisc ... codel [ limit PACKETS ] [ target TIME ] [ interval TIME ] [ ecn ] qdisc codel 10: parent 1:1 limit 2000p target 3.0ms interval 60.0ms ecn Sent 13347099587 bytes 8815805 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) rate 202365Kbit 16708pps backlog 113550b 75p requeues 0 count 116 lastcount 98 ldelay 4.3ms dropping drop_next 816us maxpacket 1514 ecn_mark 84399 drop_overlimit 0 CoDel must be seen as a base module, and should be used keeping in mind there is still a FIFO queue. So a typical setup will probably need a hierarchy of several qdiscs and packet classifiers to be able to meet whatever constraints a user might have. One possible example would be to use fq_codel, which combines Fair Queueing and CoDel, in replacement of sfq / sfq_red.

net/sched: sch_plug - Queue traffic until an explicit release command The qdisc supports two operations - plug and unplug. When the qdisc receives a plug command via netlink request, packets arriving henceforth are buffered until a corresponding unplug command is received. Depending on the type of unplug command, the queue can be unplugged indefinitely or selectively. This qdisc can be used to implement output buffering, an essential functionality required for consistent recovery in checkpoint based fault-tolerance systems. Output buffering enables speculative execution by allowing generated network traffic to be rolled back. It is used to provide network protection for Xen Guests in the Remus high availability project, available as part of Xen. This module is generic enough to be used by any other system that wishes to add speculative execution and output buffering to its applications. This module was originally available in the linux 2.6.32 PV-OPS tree, used as dom0 for Xen. For more information, please refer to http://nss.cs.ubc.ca/remus/ and http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Remus Changes in V3: * Removed debug output (printk) on queue overflow * Added TCQ_PLUG_RELEASE_INDEFINITE - that allows the user to use this qdisc, for simple plug/unplug operations. * Use of packet counts instead of pointers to keep track of the buffers in the queue.

config NET_SCH_PLUG
tristate "Plug network traffic until release (PLUG)"
---help---
This queuing discipline allows userspace to plug/unplug a network
output queue, using the netlink interface. When it receives an
enqueue command it inserts a plug into the outbound queue that
causes following packets to enqueue until a dequeue command arrives
over netlink, causing the plug to be removed and resuming the normal
packet flow.
This module also provides a generic "network output buffering"
functionality (aka output commit), wherein upon arrival of a dequeue
command, only packets up to the first plug are released for delivery.
The Remus HA project uses this module to enable speculative execution
of virtual machines by allowing the generated network output to be rolled
back if needed.

[PKT_SCHED]: Add stateless NAT Stateless NAT is useful in controlled environments where restrictions are placed on through traffic such that we don't need connection tracking to correctly NAT protocol-specific data. In particular, this is of interest when the number of flows or the number of addresses being NATed is large, or if connection tracking information has to be replicated and where it is not practical to do so. Previously we had stateless NAT functionality which was integrated into the IPv4 routing subsystem. This was a great solution as long as the NAT worked on a subnet to subnet basis such that the number of NAT rules was relatively small. The reason is that for SNAT the routing based system had to perform a linear scan through the rules. If the number of rules is large then major renovations would have take place in the routing subsystem to make this practical. For the time being, the least intrusive way of achieving this is to use the u32 classifier written by Alexey Kuznetsov along with the actions infrastructure implemented by Jamal Hadi Salim. The following patch is an attempt at this problem by creating a new nat action that can be invoked from u32 hash tables which would allow large number of stateless NAT rules that can be used/updated in constant time. The actual NAT code is mostly based on the previous stateless NAT code written by Alexey. In future we might be able to utilise the protocol NAT code from netfilter to improve support for other protocols. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.
