2008-11-20pkt_sched: remove unnecessary xchg() in packet schedulersPatrick McHardy
The use of xchg() hasn't been necessary since 2.2.something when proper locking was added to packet schedulers. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-11-20pkt_sched: add DRR schedulerPatrick McHardy
Add classful DRR scheduler as a more flexible replacement for SFQ. The main difference to the algorithm described in "Efficient Fair Queueing using Deficit Round Robin" is that this implementation doesn't drop packets from the longest queue on overrun because its classful and limits are handled by each individual child qdisc.

2008-11-19netdev: network device operations infrastructureStephen Hemminger
This patch changes the network device internal API to move adminstrative operations out of the network device structure and into a separate structure. This patch involves some hackery to maintain compatablity between the new and old model, so all 300+ drivers don't have to be changed at once. For drivers that aren't converted yet, the netdevice_ops virt function list still resides in the net_device structure. For old protocols, the new net_device_ops are copied out to the old net_device pointers. After the transistion is completed the nag message can be changed to an WARN_ON, and the compatiablity code can be made configurable. Some function pointers aren't moved: * destructor can't be in net_device_ops because it may need to be referenced after the module is unloaded. * neighbor setup is manipulated in a couple of places that need special consideration * hard_start_xmit is in the fast path for transmit.

2008-11-19net: Do not fire linkwatch events until the device is registered.David S. Miller
Several device drivers try to do things like netif_carrier_off() before register_netdev() is invoked. This is bogus, but too many drivers do this to fix them all up in one go. Reported-by: Folkert van Heusden <folkert@vanheusden.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-11-13pkt_sched: Remove qdisc->ops->requeue() etc.Jarek Poplawski
After implementing qdisc->ops->peek() and changing sch_netem into classless qdisc there are no more qdisc->ops->requeue() users. This patch removes this method with its wrappers (qdisc_requeue()), and also unused qdisc->requeue structure. There are a few minor fixes of warnings (htb_enqueue()) and comments btw. The idea to kill ->requeue() and a similar patch were first developed by David S. Miller. Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-11-14CRED: Use creds in file structsDavid Howells
Attach creds to file structs and discard f_uid/f_gid. file_operations::open() methods (such as hppfs_open()) should use file->f_cred rather than current_cred(). At the moment file->f_cred will be current_cred() at this point.

2008-11-07pkt_sched: Control group classifierThomas Graf
The classifier should cover the most common use case and will work without any special configuration. The principle of the classifier is to directly access the task_struct via get_current(). In order for this to work, classification requests from softirqs must be ignored. This is not a problem because the vast majority of packets in softirq context are not assigned to a task anyway. For this to work, a mechanism is needed to trace softirq context. This repost goes back to the method of relying on the number of nested bh disable calls for the sake of not adding too much complexity and the option to come up with something more reliable if actually needed.

2008-11-03pkt_sched: sch_generic: Kfree gso_skb in qdisc_reset()Jarek Poplawski
Since gso_skb is re-used for qdisc_peek_dequeued(), and this skb is counted in the qdisc->q.qlen, it has to be kfreed during qdisc_reset() when qlen is zeroed. With help from David S.

2008-11-02sch_netem: Replace ->requeue() method with open codeJarek Poplawski
After removing netem classful functionality we are sure its inner qdisc is tfifo, so we can replace qdisc->ops->requeue() method with open code. After this patch there are no more ops->requeue() users. The idea of this patch is by Patrick McHardy. Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-11-02sch_netem: Remove classful functionalityJarek Poplawski
Patrick McHardy noticed that: "a lot of the functionality of netem requires the inner tfifo anyways and rate-limiting is usually done on top of netem. So I would suggest so either hard-wire the tfifo qdisc or at least make the assumption that inner qdiscs are work-conserving.", and later: "- a lot of other qdiscs still don't work as inner qdiscs of netem [...]". So, according to his suggestion, this patch removes classful options of netem. The main reason of this change is to remove ops->requeue() method, which is currently used only by netem.

2008-10-31pkt_sched: Add peek emulation for non-work-conserving qdiscs.Jarek Poplawski
This patch adds qdisc_peek_dequeued() wrapper to emulate peek method with qdisc->dequeue() and storing "peeked" skb in qdisc->gso_skb until dequeuing. This is mainly for compatibility reasons not to break some strange configs because peeking is expected for non-work-conserving parent qdiscs to query work-conserving child qdiscs. This implementation requires using qdisc_dequeue_peeked() wrapper instead of directly calling qdisc->dequeue() for all qdiscs ever querried with qdisc->ops->peek() or qdisc_peek_dequeued().

2008-10-31pkt_sched: Add ->peek() methods for fifo, prio and SFQ qdiscs.Patrick McHardy
From: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Just as a demonstration how easy adding a peek operation to the work-conserving qdiscs actually is. It doesn't need to keep or change any internal state in many cases thanks to the guarantee that the packet will either be dequeued or, if another packet arrives, the upper qdisc will immediately ->peek again to reevaluate the state.

After these commands: # modprobe sch_teql # tc qdisc add dev eth0 root teql0 # tc qdisc del dev eth0 root we get an oops in teql_destroy() when spin_lock is taken from a null qdisc_sleeping pointer. It's because at the moment teql0 dev haven't been activated yet, and a qdisc_root_sleeping() is pointing to noop qdisc's netdev_queue with qdisc_sleeping uninitialized. This patch fixes this both for noop and noqueue netdev_queues to avoid similar problems in the future. Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

After the last change of requeuing there is no info about such incidents in tc stats.

2008-10-06pkt_sched: Simplify dev_requeue_skb and dequeue_skbJarek Poplawski
qdisc->requeue was planned to universally replace all requeuing code, but at the top level we never requeue more than one skb, so qdisc-> gso_skb is enough for this. qdisc->requeue would be used on the lower levels only for one level deep requeuing (like in sch_hfsc) after finishing all the changes.

2008-09-12pkt_sched: Add multiqueue scheduler supportAlexander Duyck
This patch is intended to add a qdisc to support the new tx multiqueue architecture by providing a band for each hardware queue. By doing this it is possible to support a different qdisc per physical hardware queue. This qdisc uses the skb->queue_mapping to select which band to place the traffic onto. It then uses a round robin w/ a check to see if the subqueue is stopped to determine which band to dequeue the packet from.
