2005-11-20[PKT_SCHED]: sch_netem: correctly order packets to be sent simultaneouslyAndrea Bittau
If two packets were queued to be sent at the same time in the future, their order would be reversed. This would occur because the queue is traversed back to front, and a position is found by checking whether the new packet needs to be sent before the packet being examined. If the new packet is to be sent at the same time of a previous packet, it would end up before the old packet in the queue. This patch places packets in the correct order when they are queued to be sent at a same time in the future. Signed-off-by: Andrea Bittau <a.bittau@cs.ucl.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-11-05[NETEM]: Support time based reorderingStephen Hemminger
Change netem to support packets getting reordered because of variations in delay. Introduce a special case version of FIFO that queues packets in order based on the netem delay. Since netem is classful, those users that don't want jitter based reordering can just insert a pfifo instead of the default. This required changes to generic skbuff code to allow finer grain manipulation of sk_buff_head. Insertion into the middle and reverse walk.

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: 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.

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.

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.

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.

2005-10-03[INET]: speedup inet (tcp/dccp) lookupsEric Dumazet
Arnaldo and I agreed it could be applied now, because I have other pending patches depending on this one (Thank you Arnaldo) (The other important patch moves skc_refcnt in a separate cache line, so that the SMP/NUMA performance doesnt suffer from cache line ping pongs) 1) First some performance data : -------------------------------- tcp_v4_rcv() wastes a *lot* of time in __inet_lookup_established() The most time critical code is : sk_for_each(sk, node, &head->chain) { if (INET_MATCH(sk, acookie, saddr, daddr, ports, dif)) goto hit; /* You sunk my battleship! */ } The sk_for_each() does use prefetch() hints but only the begining of "struct sock" is prefetched. As INET_MATCH first comparison uses inet_sk(__sk)->daddr, wich is far away from the begining of "struct sock", it has to bring into CPU cache cold cache line. Each iteration has to use at least 2 cache lines. This can be problematic if some chains are very long. 2) The goal ----------- The idea I had is to change things so that INET_MATCH() may return FALSE in 99% of cases only using the data already in the CPU cache, using one cache line per iteration. 3) Description of the patch --------------------------- Adds a new 'unsigned int skc_hash' field in 'struct sock_common', filling a 32 bits hole on 64 bits platform. struct sock_common { unsigned short skc_family; volatile unsigned char skc_state; unsigned char skc_reuse; int skc_bound_dev_if; struct hlist_node skc_node; struct hlist_node skc_bind_node; atomic_t skc_refcnt; + unsigned int skc_hash; struct proto *skc_prot; }; Store in this 32 bits field the full hash, not masked by (ehash_size - 1) Using this full hash as the first comparison done in INET_MATCH permits us immediatly skip the element without touching a second cache line in case of a miss. Suppress the sk_hashent/tw_hashent fields since skc_hash (aliased to sk_hash and tw_hash) already contains the slot number if we mask with (ehash_size - 1) File include/net/inet_hashtables.h 64 bits platforms : #define INET_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\ (((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash)) ((*((__u64 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->daddr)))== (__cookie)) && \ ((*((__u32 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->dport))) == (__ports)) && \ (!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif)))) 32bits platforms: #define TCP_IPV4_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\ (((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash)) && \ (inet_sk(__sk)->daddr == (__saddr)) && \ (inet_sk(__sk)->rcv_saddr == (__daddr)) && \ (!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif)))) - Adds a prefetch(head->chain.first) in __inet_lookup_established()/__tcp_v4_check_established() and __inet6_lookup_established()/__tcp_v6_check_established() and __dccp_v4_check_established() to bring into cache the first element of the list, before the {read|write}_lock(&head->lock); Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-08-23[PKT_SCHED]: Fix missing qdisc_destroy() in qdisc_create_dflt()Thomas Graf
qdisc_create_dflt() is missing to destroy the newly allocated default qdisc if the initialization fails resulting in leaks of all kinds. The only caller in mainline which may trigger this bug is sch_tbf.c in tbf_create_dflt_qdisc(). Note: qdisc_create_dflt() doesn't fulfill the official locking requirements of qdisc_destroy() but since the qdisc could never be seen by the outside world this doesn't matter and it can stay as-is until the locking of pkt_sched is cleaned up.

Move the protocol specific config options out to the specific protocols. With this change net/Kconfig now starts to become readable and serve as a good basis for further re-structuring.
