sched, cls: check if we could overwrite actions when changing a filter

2014-04-28T03:42:39Z

When actions are attached to a filter, they are a part of the filter itself, so when changing a filter we should allow to overwrite the actions inside as well. In my specific case, when I tried to _append_ a new action to an existing filter which already has an action, I got EEXIST since kernel refused to overwrite the existing one in kernel. This patch checks if we are changing the filter checking NLM_F_CREATE flag (Sigh, filters don't use NLM_F_REPLACE...) and then passes the boolean down to actions. This fixes the problem above.

net_sched: add u64 rate to psched_ratecfg_precompute()

2013-09-20T18:41:02Z

Add an extra u64 rate parameter to psched_ratecfg_precompute() so that some qdisc can opt-in for 64bit rates in the future, to overcome the ~34 Gbits limit. psched_ratecfg_getrate() reports a legacy structure to tc utility, so if actual rate is above the 32bit rate field, cap it to the 34Gbit limit.

qdisc: allow setting default queuing discipline

2013-08-31T04:32:32Z

By default, the pfifo_fast queue discipline has been used by default for all devices. But we have better choices now. This patch allow setting the default queueing discipline with sysctl. This allows easy use of better queueing disciplines on all devices without having to use tc qdisc scripts. It is intended to allow an easy path for distributions to make fq_codel or sfq the default qdisc. This patch also makes pfifo_fast more of a first class qdisc, since it is now possible to manually override the default and explicitly use pfifo_fast. The behavior for systems who do not use the sysctl is unchanged, they still get pfifo_fast Also removes leftover random # in sysctl net core.

net_sched: restore "linklayer atm" handling

2013-08-15T08:43:08Z

commit 56b765b79 ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates") broke the "linklayer atm" handling. tc class add ... htb rate X ceil Y linklayer atm The linklayer setting is implemented by modifying the rate table which is send to the kernel. No direct parameter were transferred to the kernel indicating the linklayer setting. The commit 56b765b79 ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates") removed the use of the rate table system. To keep compatible with older iproute2 utils, this patch detects the linklayer by parsing the rate table. It also supports future versions of iproute2 to send this linklayer parameter to the kernel directly. This is done by using the __reserved field in struct tc_ratespec, to convey the choosen linklayer option, but only using the lower 4 bits of this field. Linklayer detection is limited to speeds below 100Mbit/s, because at high rates the rtab is gets too inaccurate, so bad that several fields contain the same values, this resembling the ATM detect. Fields even start to contain "0" time to send, e.g. at 1000Mbit/s sending a 96 bytes packet cost "0", thus the rtab have been more broken than we first realized.

net: Remove extern from include/net/ scheduling prototypes

2013-08-01T00:24:22Z

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern in the kernel sources. Standardize on not using extern for function prototypes. Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern. extern is assumed by the compiler. Its use is as unnecessary as using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block. Reflow modified prototypes to 80 columns. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net_sched: psched_ratecfg_precompute() improvements

2013-06-12T05:39:47Z

Before allowing 64bits bytes rates, refactor psched_ratecfg_precompute() to get better comments and increased accuracy. rate_bps field is renamed to rate_bytes_ps, as we only have to worry about bytes per second. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Ben Greear Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
