The Qdisc::running sequence counter has two uses:
1. Reliably reading qdisc's tc statistics while the qdisc is running
(a seqcount read/retry loop at gnet_stats_add_basic()).
2. As a flag, indicating whether the qdisc in question is running
(without any retry loops).
For the first usage, the Qdisc::running sequence counter write section,
qdisc_run_begin() => qdisc_run_end(), covers a much wider area than what
is actually needed: the raw qdisc's bstats update. A u64_stats sync
point was thus introduced (in previous commits) inside the bstats
structure itself. A local u64_stats write section is then started and
stopped for the bstats updates.
Use that u64_stats sync point mechanism for the bstats read/retry loop
at gnet_stats_add_basic().
For the second qdisc->running usage, a __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING bit flag,
accessed with atomic bitops, is sufficient. Using a bit flag instead of
a sequence counter at qdisc_run_begin/end() and qdisc_is_running() leads
to the SMP barriers implicitly added through raw_read_seqcount() and
write_seqcount_begin/end() getting removed. All call sites have been
surveyed though, and no required ordering was identified.
Now that the qdisc->running sequence counter is no longer used, remove
it.
Note, using u64_stats implies no sequence counter protection for 64-bit
architectures. This can lead to the qdisc tc statistics "packets" vs.
"bytes" values getting out of sync on rare occasions. The individual
values will still be valid.

The only factor differentiating per-CPU bstats data type (struct
gnet_stats_basic_cpu) from the packed non-per-CPU one (struct
gnet_stats_basic_packed) was a u64_stats sync point inside the former.
The two data types are now equivalent: earlier commits added a u64_stats
sync point to the latter.
Combine both data types into "struct gnet_stats_basic_sync". This
eliminates redundancy and simplifies the bstats read/write APIs.
Use u64_stats_t for bstats "packets" and "bytes" data types. On 64-bit
architectures, u64_stats sync points do not use sequence counter
protection.

The not-per-CPU variant of qdisc tc (traffic control) statistics,
Qdisc::gnet_stats_basic_packed bstats, is protected with Qdisc::running
sequence counter.
This sequence counter is used for reliably protecting bstats reads from
parallel writes. Meanwhile, the seqcount's write section covers a much
wider area than bstats update: qdisc_run_begin() => qdisc_run_end().
That read/write section asymmetry can lead to needless retries of the
read section. To prepare for removing the Qdisc::running sequence
counter altogether, introduce a u64_stats sync point inside bstats
instead.
Modify _bstats_update() to start/end the bstats u64_stats write
section.
For bisectability, and finer commits granularity, the bstats read
section is still protected with a Qdisc::running read/retry loop and
qdisc_run_begin/end() still starts/ends that seqcount write section.
Once all call sites are modified to use _bstats_update(), the
Qdisc::running seqcount will be removed and bstats read/retry loop will
be modified to utilize the internal u64_stats sync point.
Note, using u64_stats implies no sequence counter protection for 64-bit
architectures. This can lead to the statistics "packets" vs. "bytes"
values getting out of sync on rare occasions. The individual values will
still be valid.

__gnet_stats_copy_basic() always assigns the value to the bstats
argument overwriting the previous value. The later added per-CPU version
always accumulated the values in the returning gnet_stats_basic_packed
argument.
Based on review there are five users of that function as of today:
- est_fetch_counters(), ___gnet_stats_copy_basic()
memsets() bstats to zero, single invocation.
- mq_dump(), mqprio_dump(), mqprio_dump_class_stats()
memsets() bstats to zero, multiple invocation but does not use the
function due to !qdisc_is_percpu_stats().
Add the values in __gnet_stats_copy_basic() instead overwriting. Rename
the function to gnet_stats_add_basic() to make it more obvious.

The sch_mq qdisc creates a sub-qdisc per tx queue which are then
called independently for enqueue and dequeue operations. However
statistics are aggregated and pushed up to the "master" qdisc.
This patch adds support for any of the sub-qdiscs to be per cpu
statistic qdiscs. To handle this case add a check when calculating
stats and aggregate the per cpu stats if needed.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

1) Old code was hard to maintain, due to complex lock chains.
(We probably will be able to remove some kfree_rcu() in callers)
2) Using a single timer to update all estimators does not scale.
3) Code was buggy on 32bit kernel (WRITE_ONCE() on 64bit quantity
is not supposed to work well)
In this rewrite :
- I removed the RB tree that had to be scanned in
gen_estimator_active(). qdisc dumps should be much faster.
- Each estimator has its own timer.
- Estimations are maintained in net_rate_estimator structure,
instead of dirtying the qdisc. Minor, but part of the simplification.
- Reading the estimator uses RCU and a seqcount to provide proper
support for 32bit kernels.
- We reduce memory need when estimators are not used, since
we store a pointer, instead of the bytes/packets counters.
- xt_rateest_mt() no longer has to grab a spinlock.
(In the future, xt_rateest_tg() could be switched to per cpu counters)

Large tc dumps (tc -s {qdisc|class} sh dev ethX) done by Google BwE host
agent [1] are problematic at scale :
For each qdisc/class found in the dump, we currently lock the root qdisc
spinlock in order to get stats. Sampling stats every 5 seconds from
thousands of HTB classes is a challenge when the root qdisc spinlock is
under high pressure. Not only the dumps take time, they also slow
down the fast path (queue/dequeue packets) by 10 % to 20 % in some cases.
An audit of existing qdiscs showed that sch_fq_codel is the only qdisc
that might need the qdisc lock in fq_codel_dump_stats() and
fq_codel_dump_class_stats()
In v2 of this patch, I now use the Qdisc running seqcount to provide
consistent reads of packets/bytes counters, regardless of 32/64 bit arches.
I also changed rate estimators to use the same infrastructure
so that they no longer need to lock root qdisc lock.

This removes the use of qstats->qlen variable from the classifiers
and makes it an explicit argument to gnet_stats_copy_queue().
The qlen represents the qdisc queue length and is packed into
the qstats at the last moment before passnig to user space. By
handling it explicitely we avoid, in the percpu stats case, having
to figure out which per_cpu variable to put it in.
It would probably be best to remove it from qstats completely
but qstats is a user space ABI and can't be broken. A future
patch could make an internal only qstats structure that would
avoid having to allocate an additional u32 variable on the
Qdisc struct. This would make the qstats struct 128bits instead
of 128+32.

In order to run qdisc's without locking statistics and estimators
need to be handled correctly.
To resolve bstats make the statistics per cpu. And because this is
only needed for qdiscs that are running without locks which is not
the case for most qdiscs in the near future only create percpu
stats when qdiscs set the TCQ_F_CPUSTATS flag.
Next because estimators use the bstats to calculate packets per
second and bytes per second the estimator code paths are updated
to use the per cpu statistics.
