2005-07-18[PKT_SCHED]: Reduce branch mispredictions in pfifo_fast_dequeueThomas Graf
The current call to __qdisc_dequeue_head leads to a branch misprediction for every loop iteration, the fact that the most common priority is 2 makes this even worse. This issue has been brought up by Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> but unlike his solution which was to manually unroll the loop, this approach preserves the possibility to increase the number of bands at compile time.

2005-07-11[NET]: move config options out to individual protocolsSam Ravnborg
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. The menu structure is left almost intact, except that indention is fixed in most cases. Most visible are the INET changes where several "depends on INET" are replaced with a single ifdef INET / endif pair. Several new files were created to accomplish this change - they are small but serve the purpose that config options are now distributed out where they belongs.

2005-07-08[NET]: Transform skb_queue_len() binary tests into skb_queue_empty()David S. Miller
This is part of the grand scheme to eliminate the qlen member of skb_queue_head, and subsequently remove the 'list' member of sk_buff. Most users of skb_queue_len() want to know if the queue is empty or not, and that's trivially done with skb_queue_empty() which doesn't use the skb_queue_head->qlen member and instead uses the queue list emptyness as the test.

2005-07-05[PKT_SCHED]: Blackhole queueing disciplineThomas Graf
Useful in combination with classful qdiscs to drop or temporary disable certain flows, e.g. one could block specific ds flows with dsmark. Unlike the noop qdisc it can be controlled by the user and statistic accounting is done. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-07-05[PKT_SCHED]: Report rate estimator configuration errors during qdisc allocationThomas Graf
Current behaviour is to not report an error if a rate estimator is created together with a qdisc and the configuration of the rate estimator is bogus. This leads to unexpected behaviour because the user is not notified. New behaviour is to report the error and let the whole qdisc creation operation fail so the user is able to fix his mistake.

2005-05-26[PKT_SCHED] netem: allow random reordering (with fix)Stephen Hemminger
Here is a fixed up version of the reorder feature of netem. It is the same as the earlier patch plus with the bugfix from Julio merged in. Has expected backwards compatibility behaviour. Go ahead and merge this one, the TCP strangeness I was seeing was due to the reordering bug, and previous version of TSO patch.

2005-05-26[PKT_SCHED] netem: use only inner qdisc -- no private skbuff queueStephen Hemminger
Netem works better if there if packets are just queued in the inner discipline rather than having a separate delayed queue. Change to use the dequeue/requeue to peek like TBF does. By doing this potential qlen problems with the old method are avoided. The problems happened when the netem_run that moved packets from the inner discipline to the nested discipline failed (because inner queue was full). This happened in dequeue, so the effective qlen of the netem would be decreased (because of the drop), but there was no way to keep the outer qdisc (caller of netem dequeue) in sync. The problem window is still there since this patch doesn't address the issue of requeue failing in netem_dequeue, but that shouldn't happen since the sequence dequeue/requeue should always work. Long term correct fix is to implement qdisc->peek in all the qdisc's to allow for this (needed by several other qdisc's as well).

2005-05-26[PKT_SCHED]: netem: reinsert for duplicationStephen Hemminger
Handle duplication of packets in netem by re-inserting at top of qdisc tree. This avoid problems with qlen accounting with nested qdisc. This recursion requires no additional locking but will potentially increase stack depth. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2005-05-03[PKT_SCHED]: netetm: adjust parent qlen when duplicatingStephen Hemminger
Fix qlen underrun when doing duplication with netem. If netem is used as leaf discipline, then the parent needs to be tweaked when packets are duplicated. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-05-03[PKT_SCHED]: netetm: make qdisc friendly to outer disciplinesStephen Hemminger
Netem currently dumps packets into the queue when timer expires. This patch makes work by self-clocking (more like TBF). It fixes a bug when 0 delay is requested (only doing loss or duplication).

2005-05-03[PKT_SCHED]: netetm: trap infinite loop hange on qlen underflowStephen Hemminger
Due to bugs in netem (fixed by later patches), it is possible to get qdisc qlen to go negative. If this happens the CPU ends up spinning forever in qdisc_run(). So add a BUG_ON() to trap it. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-05-03[NET]: Disable queueing when carrier is lost.Tommy S. Christensen
Some network drivers call netif_stop_queue() when detecting loss of carrier. This leads to packets being queued up at the qdisc level for an unbound period of time. In order to prevent this effect, the core networking stack will now cease to queue packets for any device, that is operationally down (i.e. the queue is flushed and disabled). Signed-off-by: Tommy S.

2005-04-24[PKT_SCHED]: improve hashing performance of cls_fwThomas Graf
Calculate hashtable size to fit into a page instead of a hardcoded 256 buckets hash table. Results in a 1024 buckets hashtable on most systems. Replace old naive extract-8-lsb-bits algorithm with a better algorithm xor'ing 3 or 4 bit fields at the size of the hashtable array index in order to improve distribution if the majority of the lower bits are unused while keeping zero collision behaviour for the most common use case.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
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!
