The DRR scheduler requires that items on the active list are work
conserving, i.e. do not hold on to skbs for throttling purposes, etc.
Attaching e.g. tbf renders DRR useless because all other classes on the
active list are delayed as well.

So, warn users that this configuration won't work as expected; we
already do this in couple of other qdiscs, see e.g.

commit b00355db3f88d96810a60011a30cfb2c3469409d
('pkt_sched: sch_hfsc: sch_htb: Add non-work-conserving warning handler')

The 'const' change is needed to avoid compiler warning ("discards 'const'
qualifier from pointer target type").

tested with:
drr_hier() {
        parent=$1
        classes=$2
        for i in  $(seq 1 $classes); do
                classid=$parent$(printf %x $i)
                tc class add dev eth0 parent $parent classid $classid drr
		tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent $classid tbf rate 64kbit burst 256kbit limit 64kbit
        done
}
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: drr
drr_hier 1: 32
tc filter add dev eth0 protocol all pref 1 parent 1: handle 1 flow hash keys dst perturb 1 divisor 32

Commit 6da7c8fcbcbd ("qdisc: allow setting default queuing discipline")
added the ability to change default qdisc from pfifo_fast to say fq

But as most modern ethernet devices are multiqueue, we cant really
see all the statistics from "tc -s qdisc show", as the default root
qdisc is mq.

This patch adds the calls to qdisc_list_add() to mq and mqprio

<content type='text'>
By default, the pfifo_fast queue discipline has been used by default
for all devices. But we have better choices now.

This patch allow setting the default queueing discipline with sysctl.
This allows easy use of better queueing disciplines on all devices
without having to use tc qdisc scripts. It is intended to allow
an easy path for distributions to make fq_codel or sfq the default
qdisc.

This patch also makes pfifo_fast more of a first class qdisc, since
it is now possible to manually override the default and explicitly
use pfifo_fast. The behavior for systems who do not use the sysctl
is unchanged, they still get pfifo_fast

Also removes leftover random # in sysctl net core.

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources.  Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.

Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler.  Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.

Reflow modified prototypes to 80 columns.

One of my test machine got a deadlock during "tc" sessions,
adding/deleting classes &amp; filters, using traffic estimators.

After some analysis, I believe we have a potential use after free case
in est_timer() :

spin_lock(e-&gt;stats_lock); &lt;&lt; HERE &gt;&gt;
read_lock(&amp;est_lock);
if (e-&gt;bstats == NULL)   &lt;&lt; TEST &gt;&gt;
	goto skip;

Test is done a bit late, because after estimator is killed, and before
rcu grace period elapsed, we might already have freed/reuse memory where
e-&gt;stats_locks points to (some qdisc-&gt;q.lock)

A possible fix is to respect a rcu grace period at Qdisc dismantle time.

On 64bit, sizeof(struct Qdisc) is exactly 192 bytes. Adding 16 bytes to
it (for struct rcu_head) is a problem because it might change
performance, given QDISC_ALIGNTO is 32 bytes.

This is why I also change QDISC_ALIGNTO to 64 bytes, to satisfy most
current alignment requirements.
