net_sched: sfq: add optional RED on top of SFQ

2012-01-13T04:05:28+00:00

Adds an optional Random Early Detection on each SFQ flow queue.

Traditional SFQ limits count of packets, while RED permits to also
control number of bytes per flow, and adds ECN capability as well.

1) We dont handle the idle time management in this RED implementation,
since each 'new flow' begins with a null qavg. We really want to address
backlogged flows.

2) if headdrop is selected, we try to ecn mark first packet instead of
currently enqueued packet. This gives faster feedback for tcp flows
compared to traditional RED [ marking the last packet in queue ]

Example of use :

tc qdisc add dev $DEV parent 1:1 handle 10: est 1sec 4sec sfq \
	limit 3000 headdrop flows 512 divisor 16384 \
	redflowlimit 100000 min 8000 max 60000 probability 0.20 ecn

qdisc sfq 10: parent 1:1 limit 3000p quantum 1514b depth 127 headdrop
flows 512/16384 divisor 16384
 ewma 6 min 8000b max 60000b probability 0.2 ecn
 prob_mark 0 prob_mark_head 4876 prob_drop 6131
 forced_mark 0 forced_mark_head 0 forced_drop 0

requeues 0)
 rate 99483Kbit 8219pps backlog 689392b 456p requeues 0

In this test, with 64 netperf TCP_STREAM sessions, 50% using ECN enabled
flows, we can see number of packets CE marked is smaller than number of
drops (for non ECN flows)

If same test is run, without RED, we can check backlog is much bigger.

net_sched: red: split red_parms into parms and vars

2012-01-05T19:01:21+00:00

This patch splits the red_parms structure into two components.

One holding the RED 'constant' parameters, and one containing the
variables.

This permits a size reduction of GRED qdisc, and is a preliminary step
to add an optional RED unit to SFQ.

SFQRED will have a single red_parms structure shared by all flows, and a
private red_vars per flow.

sch_red: generalize accurate MAX_P support to RED/GRED/CHOKE

2011-12-09T18:46:15+00:00

Now RED uses a Q0.32 number to store max_p (max probability), allow
RED/GRED/CHOKE to use/report full resolution at config/dump time.

Old tc binaries are non aware of new attributes, and still set/get Plog.

New tc binary set/get both Plog and max_p for backward compatibility,
they display "probability value" if they get max_p from new kernels.

# tc -d  qdisc show dev ...
...
qdisc red 10: parent 1:1 limit 360Kb min 30Kb max 90Kb ecn ewma 5
probability 0.09 Scell_log 15

Make sure we avoid potential divides by 0 in reciprocal_value(), if
(max_th - min_th) is big.

sch_red: Adaptative RED AQM

2011-12-09T00:52:43+00:00

Adaptative RED AQM for linux, based on paper from Sally FLoyd,
Ramakrishna Gummadi, and Scott Shenker, August 2001 :

http://icir.org/floyd/papers/adaptiveRed.pdf

Goal of Adaptative RED is to make max_p a dynamic value between 1% and
50% to reach the target average queue : (max_th - min_th) / 2

Every 500 ms:
 if (avg > target and max_p <= 0.5)
  increase max_p : max_p += alpha;
 else if (avg < target and max_p >= 0.01)
  decrease max_p : max_p *= beta;

target :[min_th + 0.4*(min_th - max_th),
          min_th + 0.6*(min_th - max_th)].
alpha : min(0.01, max_p / 4)
beta : 0.9
max_P is a Q0.32 fixed point number (unsigned, with 32 bits mantissa)

Changes against our RED implementation are :

max_p is no longer a negative power of two (1/(2^Plog)), but a Q0.32
fixed point number, to allow full range described in Adatative paper.

To deliver a random number, we now use a reciprocal divide (thats really
a multiply), but this operation is done once per marked/droped packet
when in RED_BETWEEN_TRESH window, so added cost (compared to previous
AND operation) is near zero.

dump operation gives current max_p value in a new TCA_RED_MAX_P
attribute.

Example on a 10Mbit link :

tc qdisc add dev $DEV parent 1:1 handle 10: est 1sec 8sec red \
   limit 400000 min 30000 max 90000 avpkt 1000 \
   burst 55 ecn adaptative bandwidth 10Mbit

# tc -s -d qdisc show dev eth3
...

sch_red: fix red_calc_qavg_from_idle_time

2011-12-01T04:27:22+00:00

Since commit a4a710c4a7490587 (pkt_sched: Change PSCHED_SHIFT from 10 to
6) it seems RED/GRED are broken.

red_calc_qavg_from_idle_time() computes a delay in us units, but this
delay is now 16 times bigger than real delay, so the final qavg result
smaller than expected.

Use standard kernel time services since there is no need to obfuscate
them.
