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.

* This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
* modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License

* 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
*
* There are two ways to use this qdisc:
* 1. A simple "instantaneous" plug/unplug operation, by issuing an alternating
* sequence of TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER & TCQ_PLUG_RELEASE_INDEFINITE commands.
*
* 2. For network output buffering (a.k.a output commit) functionality.
* Output commit property is commonly used by applications using checkpoint
* based fault-tolerance to ensure that the checkpoint from which a system
* is being restored is consistent w.r.t outside world.
*
* Consider for e.g. Remus - a Virtual Machine checkpointing system,
* wherein a VM is checkpointed, say every 50ms. The checkpoint is replicated
* asynchronously to the backup host, while the VM continues executing the
* next epoch speculatively.
*
* The following is a typical sequence of output buffer operations:
* 1.At epoch i, start_buffer(i)
* 2. At end of epoch i (i.e. after 50ms):
* 2.1 Stop VM and take checkpoint(i).
* 2.2 start_buffer(i+1) and Resume VM
* 3. While speculatively executing epoch(i+1), asynchronously replicate
* checkpoint(i) to backup host.
* 4. When checkpoint_ack(i) is received from backup, release_buffer(i)
* Thus, this Qdisc would receive the following sequence of commands:
* TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER (epoch i)
* .. TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER (epoch i+1)
* ....TCQ_PLUG_RELEASE_ONE (epoch i)
* ......TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER (epoch i+2)
* ........
