Results on dummy device can be seen in my netconf 2011
slides. These results are for a 10Gige IXGBE intel
nic - on another i5 machine, very similar specs to
the one used in the netconf2011 results.
It turns out - this is a hell lot worse than dummy
and so this patch is even more beneficial for 10G.
Test setup:
----------
System under test sending packets out.
Additional box connected directly dropping packets.
Installed prio qdisc on the eth device and default
netdev default length of 1000 used as is.
The 3 prio bands each were set to 100 (didnt factor in
the results).
5 packet runs were made and the middle 3 picked.
results
-------
The "cpu" column indicates the which cpu the sample
was taken on,
The "Pkt runx" carries the number of packets a cpu
dequeued when forced to be in the "dequeuer" role.
The "avg" for each run is the number of times each
cpu should be a "dequeuer" if the system was fair.

As you can see the system is still not perfect but
is a lot better than what it was before...
At the moment we use the old backlog weight, weight_p
which is 64 packets. It seems to be reasonably fine
with that value.
The system could be made more fair if we reduce the
weight_p (as per my presentation), but we are going
to affect the shared backlog weight. Unless deemed
necessary, I think the default value is fine. If not
we could add yet another knob.

Remove linux/mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h -- it's unused (I've checked manually).
To prevent mm.h inclusion via other channels also extract "enum dma_data_direction"
definition into separate header. This tiny piece is what gluing netdevice.h with mm.h
via "netdevice.h => dmaengine.h => dma-mapping.h => scatterlist.h => mm.h".
Removal of mm.h from scatterlist.h was tried and was found not feasible
on most archs, so the link was cutoff earlier.
Hope people are OK with tiny include file.
Note, that mm_types.h is still dragged in, but it is a separate story.

While chasing a possible net_sched bug, I found that IP fragments have
litle chance to pass a congestioned SFQ qdisc :
- Say SFQ qdisc is full because one flow is non responsive.
- ip_fragment() wants to send two fragments belonging to an idle flow.
- sfq_enqueue() queues first packet, but see queue limit reached :
- sfq_enqueue() drops one packet from 'big consumer', and returns
NET_XMIT_CN.
- ip_fragment() cancel remaining fragments.
This patch restores fairness, making sure we return NET_XMIT_CN only if
we dropped a packet from the same flow.

dev_deactivate_many() issues one synchronize_rcu() call after qdiscs set
to noop_qdisc.
This call is here to make sure they are no outstanding qdisc-less
dev_queue_xmit calls before returning to caller.
But in dismantle phase, we dont have to wait, because we wont activate
again the device, and we are going to wait one rcu grace period later in
rollback_registered_many().
After this patch, device dismantle uses one synchronize_net() and one
rcu_barrier() call only, so we have a ~30% speedup and a smaller RTNL
latency.

Many users have wanted the old functionality that was lost
to be able to use pfifo as inner qdisc for netem. The reason that
netem could not be classful with the older API was because of the
limitations of the old dequeue/requeue interface; now that qdisc API has
a peek function, there is no longer a problem with using any
inner qdisc's.

W. Feng, D. Kandlur, D. Saha, K. Shin. Blue: A New Class of Active Queue
Management Algorithms. U. Michigan CSE-TR-387-99, April 1999.
http://www.thefengs.com/wuchang/blue/CSE-TR-387-99.pdf
This implementation is based on work done by Juliusz Chroboczek
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

In the beginning with batching unreg_list was a list that was used only
once in the lifetime of a network device (I think). Now we have calls
using the unreg_list that can happen multiple times in the life of a
network device like dev_deactivate and dev_close that are also using the
unreg_list. In addition in unregister_netdevice_queue we also do a
list_move because for devices like veth pairs it is possible that
unregister_netdevice_queue will be called multiple times.
So I think the change below to fix dev_deactivate which Eric D. missed
will fix this problem. Now to go test that.

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)

Now qdisc stab is handled before TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS test in
__dev_xmit_skb(), we can generalize TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS to other qdiscs
than pfifo_fast : pfifo, bfifo, pfifo_head_drop and sfq
SFQ is special because it can have external classifiers, and in these
cases, we cannot bypass queue discipline (packet could be dropped by
classifier) without admin asking it, or further changes.
Its worth doing this, especially for SFQ, avoiding dirtying memory in
case no packets are already waiting in queue.

In commit 44b8288308 (net_sched: pfifo_head_drop problem), we fixed
a problem with pfifo_head drops that incorrectly decreased
sch->bstats.bytes and sch->bstats.packets
Several qdiscs (CHOKe, SFQ, pfifo_head, ...) are able to drop a
previously enqueued packet, and bstats cannot be changed, so
bstats/rates are not accurate (over estimated)
This patch changes the qdisc_bstats updates to be done at dequeue() time
instead of enqueue() time. bstats counters no longer account for dropped
frames, and rates are more correct, since enqueue() bursts dont have
effect on dequeue() rate.
