Ben Hutchings ac7100ba93 sch_mqprio: Always set num_tc to 0 in mqprio_destroy()
All the cleanup code in mqprio_destroy() is currently conditional on
priv->qdiscs being non-null, but that condition should only apply to
the per-queue qdisc cleanup.  We should always set the number of
traffic classes back to 0 here.

Eric Dumazet 144ce879b0 net_sched: sch_mqprio: dont leak kernel memory
mqprio_dump() should make sure all fields of struct tc_mqprio_qopt are
initialized.

Eric Dumazet 23624935e0 net_sched: TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS generalization
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.

John Fastabend 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.
