netem: free skb's in tree on reset

2013-10-11T21:30:38+00:00

Netem can leak memory because packets get stored in red-black
tree and it is not cleared on reset.

netem: update backlog after drop

2013-10-11T21:29:29+00:00

When packet is dropped from rb-tree netem the backlog statistic should
also be updated.

pkt_sched: fq: fix non TCP flows pacing

2013-10-09T01:54:01+00:00

Steinar reported FQ pacing was not working for UDP flows.

It looks like the initial sk->sk_pacing_rate value of 0 was
a wrong choice. We should init it to ~0U (unlimited)

Then, TCA_FQ_FLOW_DEFAULT_RATE should be removed because it makes
no real sense. The default rate is really unlimited, and we
need to avoid a zero divide.

pkt_sched: fq: rate limiting improvements

2013-10-01T17:00:38+00:00

FQ rate limiting suffers from two problems, reported
by Steinar :

1) FQ enforces a delay when flow quantum is exhausted in order
to reduce cpu overhead. But if packets are small, current
delay computation is slightly wrong, and observed rates can
be too high.

Steinar had this problem because he disabled TSO and GSO,
and default FQ quantum is 2*1514.

(Of course, I wish recent TSO auto sizing changes will help
to not having to disable TSO in the first place)

2) maxrate was not used for forwarded flows (skbs not attached
to a socket)

Tested:

pkt_sched: fq: qdisc dismantle fixes

2013-09-30T19:51:23+00:00

fq_reset() should drops all packets in queue, including
throttled flows.

This patch moves code from fq_destroy() to fq_reset()
to do the cleaning.

fq_change() must stop calling fq_dequeue() if all remaining
packets are from throttled flows.

Pull networking changes from David Miller:
 "Noteworthy changes this time around:

   1) Multicast rejoin support for team driver, from Jiri Pirko.

   2) Centralize and simplify TCP RTT measurement handling in order to
      reduce the impact of bad RTO seeding from SYN/ACKs.  Also, when
      both timestamps and local RTT measurements are available prefer
      the later because there are broken middleware devices which
      scramble the timestamp.

      From Yuchung Cheng.

   3) Add TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option to limit the amount of kernel
      memory consumed to queue up unsend user data.  From Eric Dumazet.

   4) Add a "physical port ID" abstraction for network devices, from
      Jiri Pirko.

   5) Add a "suppress" operation to influence fib_rules lookups, from
      Stefan Tomanek.

   6) Add a networking development FAQ, from Paul Gortmaker.

   7) Extend the information provided by tcp_probe and add ipv6 support,
      from Daniel Borkmann.

   8) Use RCU locking more extensively in openvswitch data paths, from
      Pravin B Shelar.

   9) Add SCTP support to openvswitch, from Joe Stringer.

  10) Add EF10 chip support to SFC driver, from Ben Hutchings.

  11) Add new SYNPROXY netfilter target, from Patrick McHardy.

  12) Compute a rate approximation for sending in TCP sockets, and use
      this to more intelligently coalesce TSO frames.  Furthermore, add
      a new packet scheduler which takes advantage of this estimate when
      available.  From Eric Dumazet.

  13) Allow AF_PACKET fanouts with random selection, from Daniel
      Borkmann.

  14) Add ipv6 support to vxlan driver, from Cong Wang"

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on the cgroup front.  Most changes aren't visible
  to userland at all at this point and are laying foundation for the
  planned unified hierarchy.

   - The biggest change is decoupling the lifetime management of css
     (cgroup_subsys_state) from that of cgroup's.  Because controllers
     (cpu, memory, block and so on) will need to be dynamically enabled
     and disabled, css which is the association point between a cgroup
     and a controller may come and go dynamically across the lifetime of
     a cgroup.  Till now, css's were created when the associated cgroup
     was created and stayed till the cgroup got destroyed.

     Assumptions around this tight coupling permeated through cgroup
     core and controllers.  These assumptions are gradually removed,
     which consists bulk of patches, and css destruction path is
     completely decoupled from cgroup destruction path.  Note that
     decoupling of creation path is relatively easy on top of these
     changes and the patchset is pending for the next window.

   - cgroup has its own event mechanism cgroup.event_control, which is
     only used by memcg.  It is overly complex trying to achieve high
     flexibility whose benefits seem dubious at best.  Going forward,
     new events will simply generate file modified event and the
     existing mechanism is being made specific to memcg.  This pull
     request contains prepatory patches for such change.

   - Various fixes and cleanups"
