mqprio: Avoid panic if no options are provided

2011-12-23T03:34:56+00:00

Userspace may not provide TCA_OPTIONS, in fact tc currently does
so not do so if no arguments are specified on the command line.
Return EINVAL instead of panicing.

sch_gred: should not use GFP_KERNEL while holding a spinlock

2011-12-13T00:08:54+00:00

gred_change_vq() is called under sch_tree_lock(sch).

This means a spinlock is held, and we are not allowed to sleep in this
context.

We might pre-allocate memory using GFP_KERNEL before taking spinlock,
but this is not suitable for stable material.

sch_red: fix red_change

RED is useful for high throughput routers, I doubt many linux machines
act as such devices.

I was considering adding Adaptative RED (Sally Floyd, Ramakrishna
Gummadi, Scott Shender), August 2001

In this version, maxp is dynamic (from 1% to 50%), and user only have to
setup min_th (target average queue size)
(max_th and wq (burst in linux RED) are automatically setup)

By the way it seems we have a small bug in red_change()

if (skb_queue_empty(&sch->q))
	red_end_of_idle_period(&q->parms);

First, if queue is empty, we should call
red_start_of_idle_period(&q->parms);

Second, since we dont use anymore sch->q, but q->qdisc, the test is
meaningless.

Oh well...

[PATCH] sch_red: fix red_change()

Now RED is classful, we must check q->qdisc->q.qlen, and if queue is empty,
we start an idle period, not end it.

sch_teql: fix lockdep splat

2011-11-30T22:10:49+00:00

We need rcu_read_lock() protection before using dst_get_neighbour(), and
we must cache its value (pass it to __teql_resolve())

teql_master_xmit() is called under rcu_read_lock_bh() protection, its
not enough.

net: Add export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL/THIS_MODULE to non-modules

2011-10-31T23:30:30+00:00

These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using
the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so
that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence
of module.h from everywhere.

net: Fix files explicitly needing to include module.h

2011-10-31T23:30:28+00:00

With calls to modular infrastructure, these files really
needs the full module.h header.  Call it out so some of the
cleanups of implicit and unrequired includes elsewhere can be
cleaned up.

net_sched: cls_flow: use skb_header_pointer()

2011-10-24T22:40:14+00:00

Dan Siemon would like to add tunnelling support to cls_flow

This preliminary patch introduces use of skb_header_pointer() to help
this task, while avoiding skb head reallocation because of deep packet
inspection.

net_sched: sfb: optimize enqueue on full queue

2011-08-26T16:55:18+00:00

In case SFB queue is full (hard limit reached), there is no point
spending time to compute hash and maximum qlen/p_mark.

We instead just early drop packet.
