0545a30377 pkt_sched: QFQ - quick fair queue scheduler
This is an implementation of the Quick Fair Queue scheduler developed
by Fabio Checconi. The same algorithm is already implemented in ipfw
in FreeBSD. Fabio had an earlier version developed on Linux, I just
cleaned it up.  Thanks to Eric Dumazet for testing this under load.

661b79725f netem: revised correlated loss generator
This is a patch originated with Stefano Salsano and Fabio Ludovici.
It provides several alternative loss models for use with netem.
This patch adds two state machine based loss models.

e13e02a3c6 net_sched: SFB flow scheduler
This is the Stochastic Fair Blue scheduler, based on work from :

W. Feng, D. Kandlur, D. Saha, K. Shin. Blue: A New Class of Active Queue
Management Algorithms. U. Michigan CSE-TR-387-99, April 1999.

http://www.thefengs.com/wuchang/blue/CSE-TR-387-99.pdf

This implementation is based on work done by Juliusz Chroboczek

General SFB algorithm can be found in figure 14, page 15:

B[l][n] : L x N array of bins (L levels, N bins per level)
enqueue()
Calculate hash function values h{0}, h{1}, .. h{L-1}
Update bins at each level
for i = 0 to L - 1
   if (B[i][h{i}].qlen > bin_size)
      B[i][h{i}].p_mark += p_increment;
   else if (B[i][h{i}].qlen == 0)
      B[i][h{i}].p_mark -= p_decrement;
p_min = min(B[0][h{0}].p_mark ... B[L-1][h{L-1}].p_mark);
if (p_min == 1.0)
    ratelimit();
else
    mark/drop with probabilty p_min;

I did the adaptation of Juliusz code to meet current kernel standards,
and various changes to address previous comments :

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/90375

Default flow classifier is the rxhash introduced by RPS in 2.6.35, but
we can use an external flow classifier if wanted.

tc qdisc add dev $DEV parent 1:11 handle 11:  \
        est 0.5sec 2sec sfb limit 128

tc filter add dev $DEV protocol ip parent 11: handle 3 \
        flow hash keys dst divisor 1024

Notes:

1) SFB default child qdisc is pfifo_fast. It can be changed by another
qdisc but a child qdisc MUST not drop a packet previously queued. This
is because SFB needs to handle a dequeued packet in order to maintain
its virtual queue states. pfifo_head_drop or CHOKe should not be used.

2) ECN is enabled by default, unlike RED/CHOKe/GRED

45e144339a sched: CHOKe flow scheduler
CHOKe ("CHOose and Kill" or "CHOose and Keep") is an alternative
packet scheduler based on the Random Exponential Drop (RED) algorithm.

The core idea is:
  For every packet arrival:
  	Calculate Qave
	if (Qave < minth)
	     Queue the new packet
	else
	     Select randomly a packet from the queue
	     if (both packets from same flow)
	     then Drop both the packets
	     else if (Qave > maxth)
	          Drop packet
	     else
	       	  Admit packet with proability p (same as RED)

b8970f0bfc net_sched: implement a root container qdisc sch_mqprio
This implements a mqprio queueing discipline that by default creates
a pfifo_fast qdisc per tx queue and provides the needed configuration
interface.

Using the mqprio qdisc the number of tcs currently in use along
with the range of queues alloted to each class can be configured. By
default skbs are mapped to traffic classes using the skb priority.
This mapping is configurable.

Configurable parameters,

struct tc_mqprio_qopt {
	__u8    num_tc;
	__u8    prio_tc_map[TC_BITMASK + 1];
	__u8    hw;
	__u16   count[TC_MAX_QUEUE];
	__u16   offset[TC_MAX_QUEUE];
};

Here the count/offset pairing give the queue alignment and the
prio_tc_map gives the mapping from skb->priority to tc.

The hw bit determines if the hardware should configure the count
and offset values. If the hardware bit is set then the operation
will fail if the hardware does not implement the ndo_setup_tc
operation. This is to avoid undetermined states where the hardware
may or may not control the queue mapping. Also minimal bounds
checking is done on the count/offset to verify a queue does not
exceed num_tx_queues and that queue ranges do not overlap. Otherwise
it is left to user policy or hardware configuration to create
useful mappings.

It is expected that hardware QOS schemes can be implemented by
creating appropriate mappings of queues in ndo_tc_setup().

One expected use case is drivers will use the ndo_setup_tc to map
queue ranges onto 802.1Q traffic classes. This provides a generic
mechanism to map network traffic onto these traffic classes and
removes the need for lower layer drivers to know specifics about
traffic types.

13d2a1d2b0 pkt_sched: add DRR scheduler
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.

92651940ab pkt_sched: Add multiqueue scheduler support
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.

1d8ae3fdeb pkt_sched: Remove RR scheduler.
This actually fixes a bug added by the RR scheduler changes.  The
->bands and ->prio2band parameters were being set outside of the
sch_tree_lock() and thus could result in strange behavior and
inconsistencies.

It might be possible, in the new design (where there will be one qdisc
per device TX queue) to allow similar functionality via a TX hash
algorithm for RR but I really see no reason to export this aspect of
how these multiqueue cards actually implement the scheduling of the
the individual DMA TX rings and the single physical MAC/PHY port.

e08b09983f [NET_SCHED]: Making rate table lookups more flexible.
This is done in order to, add support to changing the rate table to
use the upper-boundry L2T (length to time) value. Currently we use the
lower-boundry, which result in under-estimating the actual bandwidth
usage.

Extend the tc_ratespec struct, with two parameters: 1) "cell_align"
that allow adjusting the alignment of the rate table. 2) "overhead"
that allow adding a packet overhead before the lookup.

sch_rr is part of sch_prio, and is referenced from MODULE_ALIAS.  This

bdc450a0bb [PKT_SCHED]: (G)RED: Introduce hard dropping
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.
