codel: split into multiple files

2016-04-25T20:44:27+00:00

It was impossible to include codel.h for the
purpose of having access to codel_params or
codel_vars structure definitions and using them
for embedding in other more complex structures.

This splits allows codel.h itself to be treated
like any other header file while codel_qdisc.h and
codel_impl.h contain function definitions with
logic that was previously in codel.h.

This copies over copyrights and doesn't involve
code changes other than adding a few additional
include directives to net/sched/sch*codel.c.

codel: generalize the implementation

2016-04-25T20:44:27+00:00

This strips out qdisc specific bits from the code
and makes it slightly more reusable. Codel will be
used by wireless/mac80211 in the future.

net_sched: update hierarchical backlog too

2016-02-29T22:02:33+00:00

When the bottom qdisc decides to, for example, drop some packet,
it calls qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() to update the queue length
for all its ancestors, we need to update the backlog too to
keep the stats on root qdisc accurate.

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

2015-05-13T18:31:43+00:00

Four minor merge conflicts:

1) qca_spi.c renamed the local variable used for the SPI device
   from spi_device to spi, meanwhile the spi_set_drvdata() call
   got moved further up in the probe function.

2) Two changes were both adding new members to codel params
   structure, and thus we had overlapping changes to the
   initializer function.

3) 'net' was making a fix to sk_release_kernel() which is
   completely removed in 'net-next'.

4) In net_namespace.c, the rtnl_net_fill() call for GET operations
   had the command value fixed, meanwhile 'net-next' adjusted the
   argument signature a bit.

This also matches example merge resolutions posted by Stephen
Rothwell over the past two days.

codel: add ce_threshold attribute

2015-05-10T23:50:20+00:00

For DCTCP or similar ECN based deployments on fabrics with shallow
buffers, hosts are responsible for a good part of the buffering.

This patch adds an optional ce_threshold to codel & fq_codel qdiscs,
so that DCTCP can have feedback from queuing in the host.

A DCTCP enabled egress port simply have a queue occupancy threshold
above which ECT packets get CE mark.

In codel language this translates to a sojourn time, so that one doesn't
have to worry about bytes or bandwidth but delays.

This makes the host an active participant in the health of the whole
network.

This also helps experimenting DCTCP in a setup without DCTCP compliant
fabric.

On following example, ce_threshold is set to 1ms, and we can see from
'ldelay xxx us' that TCP is not trying to go around the 5ms codel
target.

Queue has more capacity to absorb inelastic bursts (say from UDP
traffic), as queues are maintained to an optimal level.

codel: fix maxpacket/mtu confusion

2015-05-04T02:17:40+00:00

Under presence of TSO/GSO/GRO packets, codel at low rates can be quite
useless. In following example, not a single packet was ever dropped,
while average delay in codel queue is ~100 ms !

qdisc codel 0: parent 1:12 limit 16000p target 5.0ms interval 100.0ms
 Sent 134376498 bytes 88797 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
 backlog 13626b 3p requeues 0
  count 0 lastcount 0 ldelay 96.9ms drop_next 0us
  maxpacket 9084 ecn_mark 0 drop_overlimit 0

This comes from a confusion of what should be the minimal backlog. It is
pretty clear it is not 64KB or whatever max GSO packet ever reached the
qdisc.

codel intent was to use MTU of the device.

After the fix, we finally drop some packets, and rtt/cwnd of my single
TCP flow are meeting our expectations.

qdisc codel 0: parent 1:12 limit 16000p target 5.0ms interval 100.0ms

net: introduce reciprocal_scale helper and convert users

2014-01-22T07:17:20+00:00

As David Laight suggests, we shouldn't necessarily call this
reciprocal_divide() when users didn't requested a reciprocal_value();
lets keep the basic idea and call it reciprocal_scale(). More
background information on this topic can be found in [1].

Joint work with Hannes Frederic Sowa.

net: codel: Avoid undefined behavior from signed overflow

2013-11-05T01:01:29+00:00

As described in commit 5a581b367 (jiffies: Avoid undefined
behavior from signed overflow), according to the C standard
3.4.3p3, overflow of a signed integer results in undefined
behavior.

To fix this, do as the above commit, and do an unsigned
subtraction, and interpreting the result as a signed
two's-complement number.  This is based on the theory from
RFC 1982 and is nicely described in wikipedia here:
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_number_arithmetic#General_Solution

A side-note, I have seen practical issues with the previous logic
when dealing with 16-bit, on a 64-bit machine (gcc version
4.4.5). This were 32-bit, which I have not observed issues with.

codel: refine one condition to avoid a nul rec_inv_sqrt

2012-08-10T23:52:54+00:00

One condition before codel_Newton_step() was not good if
we never left the dropping state for a flow. As a result
rec_inv_sqrt was 0, instead of the ~0 initial value.

codel control law was then set to a very aggressive mode, dropping
many packets before reaching 'target' and recovering from this problem.

To keep codel_vars_init() as efficient as possible, refine
the condition to make sure rec_inv_sqrt initial value is correct

Many thanks to Anton Mich for discovering the issue and suggesting
a fix.
