| 2013-03-06 | pkt_sched: sch_qfq: properly cap timestamps in charge_actual_service |   Paolo Valente | |
| QFQ+ schedules the active aggregates in a group using a bucket list (one list per group). The bucket in which each aggregate is inserted depends on the aggregate's timestamps, and the number of buckets in a group is enough to accomodate the possible (range of) values of the timestamps of all the aggregates in the group. For this property to hold, timestamps must however be computed correctly. One necessary condition for computing timestamps correctly is that the number of bits dequeued for each aggregate, while the aggregate is in service, does not exceed the maximum budget budgetmax assigned to the aggregate. For each aggregate, budgetmax is proportional to the number of classes in the aggregate. If the number of classes of the aggregate is decreased through qfq_change_class(), then budgetmax is decreased automatically as well. Problems may occur if the aggregate is in service when budgetmax is decreased, because the current remaining budget of the aggregate and/or the service already received by the aggregate may happen to be larger than the new value of budgetmax. In this case, when the aggregate is eventually deselected and its timestamps are updated, the aggregate may happen to have received an amount of service larger than budgetmax. This may cause the aggregate to be assigned a higher virtual finish time than the maximum acceptable value for the last bucket in the bucket list of the group. This fix introduces a cap that addresses this issue. Signed-off-by: Paolo Valente <paolo.valente@unimore.it> Reviewed-by: Fabio Checconi <fchecconi@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| 2013-02-27 | hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators |   Sasha Levin | |
| I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] [akpm@linux-foudnation.org: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

| 2012-11-28 | pkt_sched: QFQ Plus: fair-queueing service at DRR cost | Paolo Valente | |
| This patch turns QFQ into QFQ+, a variant of QFQ that provides the following two benefits: 1) QFQ+ is faster than QFQ, 2) differently from QFQ, QFQ+ correctly schedules also non-leaves classes in a hierarchical setting. A detailed description of QFQ+, plus a performance comparison with DRR and QFQ, can be found in [1]. [1] P.

| 2012-11-07 | pkt_sched: enable QFQ to support TSO/GSO | Paolo Valente | |
| If the max packet size for some class (configured through tc) is violated by the actual size of the packets of that class, then QFQ would not schedule classes correctly, and the data structures implementing the bucket lists may get corrupted. This problem occurs with TSO/GSO even if the max packet size is set to the MTU, and is, e.g., the cause of the failure reported in [1]. Two patches have been proposed to solve this problem in [2], one of them is a preliminary version of this patch. This patch addresses the above issues by: 1) setting QFQ parameters to proper values for supporting TSO/GSO (in particular, setting the maximum possible packet size to 64KB), 2) automatically increasing the max packet size for a class, lmax, when a packet with a larger size than the current value of lmax arrives. The drawback of the first point is that the maximum weight for a class is now limited to 4096, which is equal to 1/16 of the maximum weight sum. Finally, this patch also forcibly caps the timestamps of a class if they are too high to be stored in the bucket list. This capping, taken from QFQ+ [3], handles the unfrequent case described in the comment to the function slot_insert.

| 2012-09-19 | pkt_sched: fix virtual-start-time update in QFQ | Paolo Valente | |
| If the old timestamps of a class, say cl, are stale when the class becomes active, then QFQ may assign to cl a much higher start time than the maximum value allowed. This may happen when QFQ assigns to the start time of cl the finish time of a group whose classes are characterized by a higher value of the ratio max_class_pkt/weight_of_the_class with respect to that of cl. Inserting a class with a too high start time into the bucket list corrupts the data structure and may eventually lead to crashes. This patch limits the maximum start time assigned to a class.

| 2012-08-08 | sched: add missing group change to qfq_change_class | Paolo Valente | |
| [Resending again, as the text was corrupted by the email client] To speed up operations, QFQ internally divides classes into groups. Which group a class belongs to depends on the ratio between the maximum packet length and the weight of the class. Unfortunately the function qfq_change_class lacks the steps for changing the group of a class when the ratio max_pkt_len/weight of the class changes. For example, when the last of the following three commands is executed, the group of class 1:1 is not correctly changed: tc disc add dev XXX root handle 1: qfq tc class add dev XXX parent 1: qfq classid 1:1 weight 1 tc class change dev XXX parent 1: classid 1:1 qfq weight 4 Not changing the group of a class does not affect the long-term bandwidth guaranteed to the class, as the latter is independent of the maximum packet length, and correctly changes (only) if the weight of the class changes. In contrast, if the group of the class is not updated, the class is still guaranteed the short-term bandwidth and packet delay related to its old group, instead of the guarantees that it should receive according to its new weight and/or maximum packet length. This may also break service guarantees for other classes. This patch adds the missing operations. Signed-off-by: Paolo Valente <paolo.valente@unimore.it> Signed-off-by: David S.
