  • 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.

  • commit 56b765b79 ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates")
    broke the "overhead xxx" handling, as well as the "linklayer atm"
    attribute.

    tc class add ... htb rate X ceil Y linklayer atm overhead 10

    This patch restores the "overhead xxx" handling, for htb, tbf
    and act_police

    The "linklayer atm" thing needs a separate fix.

  • Current act_police uses rate table computed by the "tc" userspace
    program, which has the following issue:

    The rate table has 256 entries to map packet lengths to token (time
    units). With TSO sized packets, the 256 entry granularity leads to
    loss/gain of rate, making the token bucket inaccurate.

    Thus, instead of relying on rate table, this patch explicitly computes
    the time and accounts for packet transmission times with nanosecond
    granularity.

    This is a followup to 56b765b79e9a78dc7d3f8850ba5e5567205a3ecd
    ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates").

  • Eric Dumazet pointed out that act_mirred needs to find the current net_ns,
    and struct net pointer is not provided in the call chain. His original
    patch made use of current->nsproxy->net_ns to find the network namespace,
    but this fails to work correctly for userspace code that makes use of
    netlink sockets in different network namespaces. Instead, pass the
    "struct net *" down along the call chain to where it is needed.

    This version removes the ifb changes as Eric has submitted that patch
    separately, but is otherwise identical to the previous version.

  • HTB takes into account skb is segmented in stats updates.
    Generalize this to all schedulers.

    They should use qdisc_bstats_update() helper instead of manipulating
    bstats.bytes and bstats.packets

    Add bstats_update() helper too for classes that use
    gnet_stats_basic_packed fields.

    Note : Right now, TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS shortcurt can be taken only if no
    stab is setup on qdisc.

  • While reviewing commit 1c40be12f7d8ca1d387510d39787b12e512a7ce8, I
    audited other users of tc_action_ops->dump for information leaks.

    That commit covered almost all of them but act_police still had a leak.

    opt.limit and opt.capab aren't zeroed out before the structure is
    passed out.

    This patch uses the C99 initializers to zero everything unused out.

  • gen_kill_estimator() API is incomplete or not well documented, since
    caller should make sure an RCU grace period is respected before
    freeing stats_lock.

    This was partially addressed in commit 5d944c640b4
    (gen_estimator: deadlock fix), but same problem exist for all
    gen_kill_estimator() users, if lock they use is not already RCU
    protected.

    A code review shows xt_RATEEST.c, act_api.c, act_police.c have this
    problem. Other are ok because they use qdisc lock, already RCU
    protected.

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • A commit c1b56878fb68e9c14070939ea4537ad4db79ffae "tc: policing requires
    a rate estimator" introduced a test which invalidates previously working
    configs, based on examples from iproute2: doc/actions/actions-general.
    This is too rigorous: a rate estimator is needed only when police's
    "avrate" option is used.

  • Since all other gen_estimator functions use bstats and rate_est params
    together, and searching for them is optimized now, let's use this also
    in gen_estimator_active(). The return type of gen_estimator_active()
    is changed to bool, and gen_find_node() parameters to const, btw.

    In tcf_act_police_locate() a check for ACT_P_CREATED is added before
    calling gen_estimator_active().

  • Removes legacy reinvent-the-wheel type thing. The generic
    machinery integrates much better to automated debugging aids
    such as kerneloops.org (and others), and is unambiguous due to
    better naming. Non-intuively BUG_TRAP() is actually equal to
    WARN_ON() rather than BUG_ON() though some might actually be
    promoted to BUG_ON() but I left that to future.

    I could make at least one BUILD_BUG_ON conversion.

  • The NET_CLS_ACT option is now a full replacement for NET_CLS_POLICE,
    remove the old code. The config option will be kept around to select
    the equivalent NET_CLS_ACT options for a short time to allow easier
    upgrades.
