4b549a2ef4 fq_codel: Fair Queue Codel AQM
Fair Queue Codel packet scheduler

Principles :

- Packets are classified (internal classifier or external) on flows.
- This is a Stochastic model (as we use a hash, several flows might
                              be hashed on same slot)
- Each flow has a CoDel managed queue.
- Flows are linked onto two (Round Robin) lists,
  so that new flows have priority on old ones.

- For a given flow, packets are not reordered (CoDel uses a FIFO)
- head drops only.
- ECN capability is on by default.
- Very low memory footprint (64 bytes per flow)

tc qdisc ... fq_codel [ limit PACKETS ] [ flows number ]
                      [ target TIME ] [ interval TIME ] [ noecn ]
                      [ quantum BYTES ]

defaults : 1024 flows, 10240 packets limit, quantum : device MTU
           target : 5ms (CoDel default)
           interval : 100ms (CoDel default)

76e3cc126b codel: Controlled Delay AQM
An implementation of CoDel AQM, from Kathleen Nichols and Van Jacobson.

http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2209336

This AQM main input is no longer queue size in bytes or packets, but the
delay packets stay in (FIFO) queue.

As we don't have infinite memory, we still can drop packets in enqueue()
in case of massive load, but mean of CoDel is to drop packets in
dequeue(), using a control law based on two simple parameters :

target : target sojourn time (default 5ms)
interval : width of moving time window (default 100ms)

Based on initial work from Dave Taht.

Refactored to help future codel inclusion as a plugin for other linux
qdisc (FQ_CODEL, ...), like RED.

include/net/codel.h contains codel algorithm as close as possible than
Kathleen reference.

net/sched/sch_codel.c contains the linux qdisc specific glue.

Separate structures permit a memory efficient implementation of fq_codel
(to be sent as a separate work) : Each flow has its own struct
codel_vars.

timestamps are taken at enqueue() time with 1024 ns precision, allowing
a range of 2199 seconds in queue, and 100Gb links support. iproute2 uses
usec as base unit.

Selected packets are dropped, unless ECN is enabled and packets can get
ECN mark instead.

Tested from 2Mb to 10Gb speeds with no particular problems, on ixgbe and
tg3 drivers (BQL enabled).

Usage: tc qdisc ... codel [ limit PACKETS ] [ target TIME ]
                          [ interval TIME ] [ ecn ]

qdisc codel 10: parent 1:1 limit 2000p target 3.0ms interval 60.0ms ecn
 Sent 13347099587 bytes 8815805 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
 rate 202365Kbit 16708pps backlog 113550b 75p requeues 0
  count 116 lastcount 98 ldelay 4.3ms dropping drop_next 816us
  maxpacket 1514 ecn_mark 84399 drop_overlimit 0

CoDel must be seen as a base module, and should be used keeping in mind
there is still a FIFO queue. So a typical setup will probably need a
hierarchy of several qdiscs and packet classifiers to be able to meet
whatever constraints a user might have.

One possible example would be to use fq_codel, which combines Fair
Queueing and CoDel, in replacement of sfq / sfq_red.

c3059be16c net/sched: sch_plug - Queue traffic until an explicit release command
The qdisc supports two operations - plug and unplug. When the
qdisc receives a plug command via netlink request, packets arriving
henceforth are buffered until a corresponding unplug command is received.
Depending on the type of unplug command, the queue can be unplugged
indefinitely or selectively.

This qdisc can be used to implement output buffering, an essential
functionality required for consistent recovery in checkpoint based
fault-tolerance systems. Output buffering enables speculative execution
by allowing generated network traffic to be rolled back. It is used to
provide network protection for Xen Guests in the Remus high availability
project, available as part of Xen.

This module is generic enough to be used by any other system that wishes
to add speculative execution and output buffering to its applications.

This module was originally available in the linux 2.6.32 PV-OPS tree,
used as dom0 for Xen.

For more information, please refer to http://nss.cs.ubc.ca/remus/
and http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Remus

Changes in V3:
  * Removed debug output (printk) on queue overflow
  * Added TCQ_PLUG_RELEASE_INDEFINITE - that allows the user to
    use this qdisc, for simple plug/unplug operations.
  * Use of packet counts instead of pointers to keep track of
    the buffers in the queue.

ddecf0f4db net_sched: sfq: add optional RED on top of SFQ
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

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.

18cb809850 net_sched: sfq: extend limits
SFQ as implemented in Linux is very limited, with at most 127 flows
and limit of 127 packets. [ So if 127 flows are active, we have one
packet per flow ]

This patch brings to SFQ following features to cope with modern needs.

- Ability to specify a smaller per flow limit of inflight packets.
    (default value being at 127 packets)

- Ability to have up to 65408 active flows (instead of 127)

- Ability to have head drops instead of tail drops
  (to drop old packets from a flow)

Example of use : No more than 20 packets per flow, max 8000 flows, max
20000 packets in SFQ qdisc, hash table of 65536 slots.

tc qdisc add ... sfq \
        flows 8000 \
        depth 20 \
        headdrop \
        limit 20000 \
	divisor 65536

Ram usage :

2 bytes per hash table entry (instead of previous 1 byte/entry)
32 bytes per flow on 64bit arches, instead of 384 for QFQ, so much
better cache hit ratio.

90b41a1cd4 netem: add cell concept to simulate special MAC behavior
This extension can be used to simulate special link layer
characteristics. Simulate because packet data is not modified, only the
calculation base is changed to delay a packet based on the original
packet size and artificial cell information.

packet_overhead can be used to simulate a link layer header compression
scheme (e.g. set packet_overhead to -20) or with a positive
packet_overhead value an additional MAC header can be simulated. It is
also possible to "replace" the 14 byte Ethernet header with something
else.

cell_size and cell_overhead can be used to simulate link layer schemes,
based on cells, like some TDMA schemes. Another application area are MAC
schemes using a link layer fragmentation with a (small) header each.
Cell size is the maximum amount of data bytes within one cell. Cell
overhead is an additional variable to change the per-cell-overhead
(e.g.  5 byte header per fragment).

Example (5 kbit/s, 20 byte per packet overhead, cell-size 100 byte, per
cell overhead 5 byte):

  tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem rate 5kbit 20 100 5

a73ed26bba sch_red: generalize accurate MAX_P support to RED/GRED/CHOKE
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.

8af2a218de sch_red: Adaptative RED AQM
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
...
qdisc red 10: parent 1:1 limit 400000b min 30000b max 90000b ecn

7bc0f28c7a netem: rate extension
Currently netem is not in the ability to emulate channel bandwidth. Only static
delay (and optional random jitter) can be configured.

To emulate the channel rate the token bucket filter (sch_tbf) can be used.  But
TBF has some major emulation flaws. The buffer (token bucket depth/rate) cannot
be 0. Also the idea behind TBF is that the credit (token in buckets) fills if
no packet is transmitted. So that there is always a "positive" credit for new
packets. In real life this behavior contradicts the law of nature where
nothing can travel faster as speed of light. E.g.: on an emulated 1000 byte/s
link a small IPv4/TCP SYN packet with ~50 byte require ~0.05 seconds - not 0
seconds.

Netem is an excellent place to implement a rate limiting feature: static
delay is already implemented, tfifo already has time information and the
user can skip TBF configuration completely.

This patch implement rate feature which can be configured via tc. e.g:

	tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem rate 10kbit

To emulate a link of 5000byte/s and add an additional static delay of 10ms:

	tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 10ms rate 5KBps

Note: similar to TBF the rate extension is bounded to the kernel timing
system. Depending on the architecture timer granularity, higher rates (e.g.
10mbit/s and higher) tend to transmission bursts. Also note: further queues
living in network adaptors; see ethtool(8).

General SFB algorithm can be found in figure 14, page 15:

B[l][n] : L x N array of bins (L levels, N bins per level)
enqueue()
Calculate hash function values h{0}, h{1}, .. h{L-1}
Update bins at each level
for i = 0 to L - 1
   if (B[i][h{i}].qlen > bin_size)
      B[i][h{i}].p_mark += p_increment;
   else if (B[i][h{i}].qlen == 0)
      B[i][h{i}].p_mark -= p_decrement;
p_min = min(B[0][h{0}].p_mark ... B[L-1][h{L-1}].p_mark);
if (p_min == 1.0)
    ratelimit();
else
    mark/drop with probabilty p_min;

I did the adaptation of Juliusz code to meet current kernel standards,
and various changes to address previous comments :

Default flow classifier is the rxhash introduced by RPS in 2.6.35, but
we can use an external flow classifier if wanted.

tc qdisc add dev $DEV parent 1:11 handle 11:  \
        est 0.5sec 2sec sfb limit 128

tc filter add dev $DEV protocol ip parent 11: handle 3 \
        flow hash keys dst divisor 1024

Notes:

1) SFB default child qdisc is pfifo_fast. It can be changed by another
qdisc but a child qdisc MUST not drop a packet previously queued. This
is because SFB needs to handle a dequeued packet in order to maintain
its virtual queue states. pfifo_head_drop or CHOKe should not be used.

2) ECN is enabled by default, unlike RED/CHOKe/GRED

45e144339a sched: CHOKe flow scheduler
CHOKe ("CHOose and Kill" or "CHOose and Keep") is an alternative
packet scheduler based on the Random Exponential Drop (RED) algorithm.

The core idea is:
  For every packet arrival:
  	Calculate Qave
	if (Qave < minth)
	     Queue the new packet
	else
	     Select randomly a packet from the queue
	     if (both packets from same flow)
	     then Drop both the packets
	     else if (Qave > maxth)
	          Drop packet
	     else
	       	  Admit packet with proability p (same as RED)

b8970f0bfc net_sched: implement a root container qdisc sch_mqprio
This implements a mqprio queueing discipline that by default creates
a pfifo_fast qdisc per tx queue and provides the needed configuration
interface.

Using the mqprio qdisc the number of tcs currently in use along
with the range of queues alloted to each class can be configured. By
default skbs are mapped to traffic classes using the skb priority.
This mapping is configurable.

Configurable parameters,

struct tc_mqprio_qopt {
	__u8    num_tc;
	__u8    prio_tc_map[TC_BITMASK + 1];
	__u8    hw;
	__u16   count[TC_MAX_QUEUE];
	__u16   offset[TC_MAX_QUEUE];
};

Here the count/offset pairing give the queue alignment and the
prio_tc_map gives the mapping from skb->priority to tc.

The hw bit determines if the hardware should configure the count
and offset values. If the hardware bit is set then the operation
will fail if the hardware does not implement the ndo_setup_tc
operation. This is to avoid undetermined states where the hardware
may or may not control the queue mapping. Also minimal bounds
checking is done on the count/offset to verify a queue does not
exceed num_tx_queues and that queue ranges do not overlap. Otherwise
it is left to user policy or hardware configuration to create
useful mappings.

It is expected that hardware QOS schemes can be implemented by
creating appropriate mappings of queues in ndo_tc_setup().

One expected use case is drivers will use the ndo_setup_tc to map
queue ranges onto 802.1Q traffic classes. This provides a generic
mechanism to map network traffic onto these traffic classes and
removes the need for lower layer drivers to know specifics about
traffic types.

13d2a1d2b0 pkt_sched: add DRR scheduler
Add classful DRR scheduler as a more flexible replacement for SFQ.

The main difference to the algorithm described in "Efficient Fair Queueing
using Deficit Round Robin" is that this implementation doesn't drop packets
from the longest queue on overrun because its classful and limits are
handled by each individual child qdisc.

92651940ab pkt_sched: Add multiqueue scheduler support
This patch is intended to add a qdisc to support the new tx multiqueue
architecture by providing a band for each hardware queue.  By doing
this it is possible to support a different qdisc per physical hardware
queue.

This qdisc uses the skb->queue_mapping to select which band to place
the traffic onto.  It then uses a round robin w/ a check to see if the
subqueue is stopped to determine which band to dequeue the packet from.

1d8ae3fdeb pkt_sched: Remove RR scheduler.
This actually fixes a bug added by the RR scheduler changes.  The
->bands and ->prio2band parameters were being set outside of the
sch_tree_lock() and thus could result in strange behavior and
inconsistencies.

It might be possible, in the new design (where there will be one qdisc
per device TX queue) to allow similar functionality via a TX hash
algorithm for RR but I really see no reason to export this aspect of
how these multiqueue cards actually implement the scheduling of the
the individual DMA TX rings and the single physical MAC/PHY port.

Extend the tc_ratespec struct, with two parameters: 1) "cell_align"
that allow adjusting the alignment of the rate table. 2) "overhead"
that allow adding a packet overhead before the lookup.

bdc450a0bb [PKT_SCHED]: (G)RED: Introduce hard dropping
Introduces a new flag TC_RED_HARDDROP which specifies that if ECN
marking is enabled packets should still be dropped once the
average queue length exceeds the maximum threshold.

This _may_ help to avoid global synchronisation during small
bursts of peers advertising but not caring about ECN. Use this
option very carefully, it does more harm than good if
(qth_max - qth_min) does not cover at least two average burst
cycles.

The difference to the current behaviour, in which we'd run into
the hard queue limit, is that due to the low pass filter of RED
short bursts are less likely to cause a global synchronisation.
