Eric Dumazet 520ac30f45 net_sched: drop packets after root qdisc lock is released
Qdisc performance suffers when packets are dropped at enqueue()
time because drops (kfree_skb()) are done while qdisc lock is held,
delaying a dequeue() draining the queue.

Nominal throughput can be reduced by 50 % when this happens,
at a time we would like the dequeue() to proceed as fast as possible.

Even FQ is vulnerable to this problem, while one of FQ goals was
to provide some flow isolation.

This patch adds a 'struct sk_buff **to_free' parameter to all
qdisc->enqueue(), and in qdisc_drop() helper.

I measured a performance increase of up to 12 %, but this patch
is a prereq so that future batches in enqueue() can fly.

Eric Dumazet 45f50bed1d net_sched: remove generic throttled management
__QDISC_STATE_THROTTLED bit manipulation is rather expensive
for HTB and few others.

I already removed it for sch_fq in commit f2600cf02b
("net: sched: avoid costly atomic operation in fq_dequeue()")
and so far nobody complained.

When one ore more packets are stuck in one or more throttled
HTB class, a htb dequeue() performs two atomic operations
to clear/set __QDISC_STATE_THROTTLED bit, while root qdisc
lock is held.

Removing this pair of atomic operations bring me a 8 % performance
increase on 200 TCP_RR tests, in presence of throttled classes.

This patch has no side effect, since nothing actually uses
disc_is_throttled() anymore.

When the bottom qdisc decides to, for example, drop some packet,

for all its ancestors, we need to update the backlog too to

Eric Dumazet f2600cf02b net: sched: avoid costly atomic operation in fq_dequeue()
Standard qdisc API to setup a timer implies an atomic operation on every
packet dequeue : qdisc_unthrottled()

It turns out this is not really needed for FQ, as FQ has no concept of
global qdisc throttling, being a qdisc handling many different flows,
some of them can be throttled, while others are not.

Fix is straightforward : add a 'bool throttle' to
qdisc_watchdog_schedule_ns(), and remove calls to qdisc_unthrottled()
in sch_fq.

Yang Yingliang cc106e441a net: sched: tbf: fix the calculation of max_size
Current max_size is caluated from rate table. Now, the rate table
has been replaced and it's wrong to caculate max_size based on this
rate table. It can lead wrong calculation of max_size.

The burst in kernel may be lower than user asked, because burst may gets
some loss when transform it to buffer(E.g. "burst 40kb rate 30mbit/s")
and it seems we cannot avoid this loss. Burst's value(max_size) based on
rate table may be equal user asked. If a packet's length is max_size, this
packet will be stalled in tbf_dequeue() because its length is above the
burst in kernel so that it cannot get enough tokens. The max_size guards
against enqueuing packet sizes above q->buffer "time" in tbf_enqueue().

To make consistent with the calculation of tokens, this patch add a helper
psched_ns_t2l() to calculate burst(max_size) directly to fix this problem.

After this fix, we can support to using 64bit rates to calculate burst as well.

Eric Dumazet 4d0820cf6a sch_tbf: handle too small burst
If a too small burst is inadvertently set on TBF, we might trigger
a bug in tbf_segment(), as 'skb' instead of 'segs' was used in a
qdisc_reshape_fail() call.

tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: tbf latency 50ms burst 1KB rate
50mbit

Fix the bug, and add a warning, as such configuration is not
going to work anyway for non GSO packets.

(For some reason, one has to use a burst >= 1520 to get a working
configuration, even with old kernels. This is a probable iproute2/tc
bug)

If a GSO packet has a length above tbf burst limit, the packet

Current way to handle this is to set the device in non GSO/TSO mode, or

We can actually segment too big GSO packets, and send individual
segments as tbf parameters allow, allowing for better interoperability.

Jiri Pirko b757c9336d tbf: improved accuracy at high rates
Current TBF 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 56b765b79e
("htb: improved accuracy at high rates").

In commit 44b8288308 (net_sched: pfifo_head_drop problem), we fixed
a problem with pfifo_head drops that incorrectly decreased

Several qdiscs (CHOKe, SFQ, pfifo_head, ...) are able to drop a
previously enqueued packet, and bstats cannot be changed, so
bstats/rates are not accurate (over estimated)

This patch changes the qdisc_bstats updates to be done at dequeue() time
instead of enqueue() time. bstats counters no longer account for dropped
frames, and rates are more correct, since enqueue() bursts dont have
effect on dequeue() rate.

I now move TCQ_F_THROTTLED bit too, so that we let first cache line read
mostly, and shared by all cpus. This should speedup HTB/CBQ for example.

Not using test_bit()/__clear_bit()/__test_and_set_bit allows to use an
"unsigned int" for __state container, reducing by 8 bytes Qdisc size.

Jarek Poplawski f30ab418a1 pkt_sched: Remove qdisc->ops->requeue() etc.
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.

Jarek Poplawski 77be155cba pkt_sched: Add peek emulation for non-work-conserving qdiscs.
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().

Jarek Poplawski 03c05f0d4b pkt_sched: Use qdisc->ops->peek() instead of ->dequeue() & ->requeue()
Use qdisc->ops->peek() instead of ->dequeue() & ->requeue() pair.
After this patch the only remaining user of qdisc->ops->requeue() is
netem_enqueue(). Based on ideas of Herbert Xu, Patrick McHardy and
David S. Miller.

David S. Miller 69747650c8 pkt_sched: Fix return value corruption in HTB and TBF.
Based upon a bug report by Josip Rodin.

Packet schedulers should only return NET_XMIT_DROP iff
the packet really was dropped.  If the packet does reach
the device after we return NET_XMIT_DROP then TCP can
crash because it depends upon the enqueue path return
values being accurate.

Jarek Poplawski 378a2f090f net_sched: Add qdisc __NET_XMIT_STOLEN flag
Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> noticed:
"The other problem that affects all qdiscs supporting actions is
TC_ACT_QUEUED/TC_ACT_STOLEN getting mapped to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS
even though the packet is not queued, corrupting upper qdiscs'
qlen counters."

and later explained:
"The reason why it translates it at all seems to be to not increase
the drops counter. Within a single qdisc this could be avoided by
other means easily, upper qdiscs would still increase the counter
when we return anything besides NET_XMIT_SUCCESS though.

This means we need a new NET_XMIT return value to indicate this to
the upper qdiscs. So I'd suggest to introduce NET_XMIT_STOLEN,
return that to upper qdiscs and translate it to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS
in dev_queue_xmit, similar to NET_XMIT_BYPASS."

David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> noticed:
"Maybe these NET_XMIT_* values being passed around should be a set of
bits. They could be composed of base meanings, combined with specific
attributes.

So you could say "NET_XMIT_DROP | __NET_XMIT_NO_DROP_COUNT"

The attributes get masked out by the top-level ->enqueue() caller,
such that the base meanings are the only thing that make their
way up into the stack. If it's only about communication within the
qdisc tree, let's simply code it that way."

This patch is trying to realize these ideas.
