2008-08-22pkt_sched: Fix qdisc list lockingJarek Poplawski
Since some qdiscs call qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() (so qdisc_lookup()) without rtnl_lock(), adding and deleting from a qdisc list needs additional locking. This patch adds global spinlock qdisc_list_lock and wrapper functions for modifying the list. It is considered as a temporary solution until hfsc_dequeue(), netem_dequeue() and tbf_dequeue() (or qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen()) are redone. With feedback from Herbert Xu and David S. Miller.

2008-08-13pkt_sched: Add queue stopped test back to qdisc_run().David S. Miller
Based upon a bug report by Andrew Gallatin on netdev with subject "CPU utilization increased in 2.6.27rc" In commit 37437bb2e1ae8af470dfcd5b4ff454110894ccaf ("pkt_sched: Schedule qdiscs instead of netdev_queue.") the test of the queue being stopped was erroneously removed from qdisc_run(). When the TX queue of the device fills up, this omission causes lots of extraneous useless work to be queued up to softirq context, where we'll just return immediately because the device is still stuffed up.

2008-07-17pkt_sched: Schedule qdiscs instead of netdev_queue.David S. Miller
When we have shared qdiscs, packets come out of the qdiscs for multiple transmit queues. Therefore it doesn't make any sense to schedule the transmit queue when logically we cannot know ahead of time the TX queue of the SKB that the qdisc->dequeue() will give us. Just for sanity I added a BUG check to make sure we never get into a state where the noop_qdisc is scheduled. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-07-17pkt_sched: Make QDISC_RUNNING a qdisc state.David S. Miller

2008-07-17net: Use queue aware tests throughout.David S. Miller
This effectively "flips the switch" by making the core networking and multiqueue-aware drivers use the new TX multiqueue structures. Non-multiqueue drivers need no changes. The interfaces they use such as netif_stop_queue() degenerate into an operation on TX queue zero. So everything "just works" for them. Code that really wants to do "X" to all TX queues now invokes a routine that does so, such as netif_tx_wake_all_queues(), netif_tx_stop_all_queues(), etc. pktgen and netpoll required a little bit more surgery than the others. In particular the pktgen changes, whilst functional, could be largely improved. The initial check in pktgen_xmit() will sometimes check the wrong queue, which is mostly harmless. The thing to do is probably to invoke fill_packet() earlier. The bulk of the netpoll changes is to make the code operate solely on the TX queue indicated by by the SKB queue mapping. Setting of the SKB queue mapping is entirely confined inside of net/core/dev.c:dev_pick_tx(). If we end up needing any kind of special semantics (drops, for example) it will be implemented here. Finally, we now have a "real_num_tx_queues" which is where the driver indicates how many TX queues are actually active. With IGB changes from Jeff Kirsher. Signed-off-by: David S.

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.

2007-07-15[NET_SCHED]: act_api: qdisc internal reclassify supportPatrick McHardy
The behaviour of NET_CLS_POLICE for TC_POLICE_RECLASSIFY was to return it to the qdisc, which could handle it internally or ignore it. With NET_CLS_ACT however, tc_classify starts over at the first classifier and never returns it to the qdisc. This makes it impossible to support qdisc-internal reclassification, which in turn makes it impossible to remove the old NET_CLS_POLICE code without breaking compatibility since we have two qdiscs (CBQ and ATM) that support this. This patch adds a tc_classify_compat function that handles reclassification the old way and changes CBQ and ATM to use it. This again is of course not fully backwards compatible with the previous NET_CLS_ACT behaviour. Unfortunately there is no way to fully maintain compatibility *and* support qdisc internal reclassification with NET_CLS_ACT, but this seems like the better choice over keeping the two incompatible options around forever.

2007-04-25[NET_SCHED]: Use ktime as clocksourcePatrick McHardy
Get rid of the manual clock source selection mess and use ktime.

The PSCHED_US2JIFFIE/PSCHED_JIFFIE2US macros are implemented quite inefficient by this patch, following patches will convert all qdiscs to hrtimers and get rid of them entirely.

2006-07-24[PKT_SCHED]: Fix regression in PSCHED_TADD{,2}.Guillaume Chazarain
In PSCHED_TADD and PSCHED_TADD2, if delta is less than tv.tv_usec (so, less than USEC_PER_SEC too) then tv_res will be smaller than tv. The affectation "(tv_res).tv_usec = __delta;" is wrong. The fix is to revert to the original code before 4ee303dfeac6451b402e3d8512723d3a0f861857 and change the 'if' in 'while'.

2006-06-19[NET]: Prevent multiple qdisc runsHerbert Xu
Having two or more qdisc_run's contend against each other is bad because it can induce packet reordering if the packets have to be requeued. It appears that this is an unintended consequence of relinquinshing the queue lock while transmitting. That in turn is needed for devices that spend a lot of time in their transmit routine. There are no advantages to be had as devices with queues are inherently single-threaded (the loopback device is not but then it doesn't have a queue). Even if you were to add a queue to a parallel virtual device (e.g., bolt a tbf filter in front of an ipip tunnel device), you would still want to process the queue in sequence to ensure that the packets are ordered correctly. The solution here is to steal a bit from net_device to prevent this. BTW, as qdisc_restart is no longer used by anyone as a module inside the kernel (IIRC it used to with netif_wake_queue), I have not exported the new __qdisc_run function.

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!
