linux-toradex.git/include/trace/events/qdisc.h, branch v5.0 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules qdisc: add tracepoint qdisc:qdisc_dequeue for dequeued SKBs 2017-08-16T21:10:10+00:00 Jesper Dangaard Brouer brouer@redhat.com 2017-08-15T19:11:03+00:00 e543002f77f463501d47fab43acf7ba881e9dcaf The main purpose of this tracepoint is to monitor bulk dequeue in the network qdisc layer, as it cannot be deducted from the existing qdisc stats. The txq_state can be used for determining the reason for zero packet dequeues, see enum netdev_queue_state_t. Notice all packets doesn't necessary activate this tracepoint. As qdiscs with flag TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS, can directly invoke sch_direct_xmit() when qdisc_qlen is zero. Remember that perf record supports filters like: perf record -e qdisc:qdisc_dequeue \ --filter 'ifindex == 4 && (packets > 1 || txq_state > 0)' Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
