Commit 105e808c1d ("pie: remove pie_vars->accu_prob_overflows")
changes the scale of probability values in PIE from (2^64 - 1) to
(2^56 - 1). This affects the precision of tc_pie_xstats->prob in
user space.
This patch ensures user space is unaffected.

The variable pie_vars->accu_prob is used as an accumulator for
probability values. Since probabilty values are scaled using the
MAX_PROB macro denoting (2^64 - 1), pie_vars->accu_prob is
likely to overflow as it is of type u64.
The variable pie_vars->accu_prob_overflows counts the number of
times the variable pie_vars->accu_prob overflows.
The MAX_PROB macro needs to be equal to at least (2^39 - 1) in
order to do precise calculations without any underflow. Thus
MAX_PROB can be reduced to (2^56 - 1) without affecting the
precision in calculations drastically. Doing so will eliminate
the need for the variable pie_vars->accu_prob_overflows as the
variable pie_vars->accu_prob will never overflow.
Removing the variable pie_vars->accu_prob_overflows also reduces
the size of the structure pie_vars to exactly 64 bytes.

In function pie_calculate_probability(), the variables alpha and
beta are of type u64. The variables qdelay, qdelay_old and
params->target are of type psched_time_t (which is also u64).
The explicit type casting done when calculating the value for
the variable delta is redundant and not required.

This patch makes the drop_early(), calculate_probability() and
pie_process_dequeue() functions generic enough to be used by
both PIE and FQ-PIE (to be added in a future commit). The major
change here is in the way the functions take in arguments. This
patch exports these functions and makes FQ-PIE dependent on
sch_pie.

RFC 8033 suggests an alternative approach to calculate the queue
delay in PIE by using a timestamp on every enqueued packet. This

We currently have two levels of strict validation:
1) liberal (default)
- undefined (type >= max) & NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
- attribute length >= expected accepted
- garbage at end of message accepted
2) strict (opt-in)
- NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
- attribute length >= expected accepted
Split out parsing strictness into four different options:
* TRAILING - check that there's no trailing data after parsing
attributes (in message or nested)
* MAXTYPE - reject attrs > max known type
* UNSPEC - reject attributes with NLA_UNSPEC policy entries
* STRICT_ATTRS - strictly validate attribute size
The default for future things should be *everything*.
The current *_strict() is a combination of TRAILING and MAXTYPE,
and is renamed to _deprecated_strict().
The current regular parsing has none of this, and is renamed to
*_parse_deprecated().
Additionally it allows us to selectively set one of the new flags
even on old policies. Notably, the UNSPEC flag could be useful in
this case, since it can be arranged (by filling in the policy) to
not be an incompatible userspace ABI change, but would then going
forward prevent forgetting attribute entries. Similar can apply
to the POLICY flag.
We end up with the following renames:
* nla_parse -> nla_parse_deprecated
* nla_parse_strict -> nla_parse_deprecated_strict
* nlmsg_parse -> nlmsg_parse_deprecated
* nlmsg_parse_strict -> nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict
* nla_parse_nested -> nla_parse_nested_deprecated
* nla_validate_nested -> nla_validate_nested_deprecated

For this patch, don't actually add the strict, non-renamed versions
yet so that it breaks compile if I get it wrong.
Also, while at it, make nla_validate and nla_parse go down to a
common __nla_validate_parse() function to avoid code duplication.
Ultimately, this allows us to have very strict validation for every
new caller of nla_parse()/nlmsg_parse() etc as re-introduced in the
next patch, while existing things will continue to work as is.
In effect then, this adds fully strict validation for any new command.

Even if the NLA_F_NESTED flag was introduced more than 11 years ago, most
netlink based interfaces (including recently added ones) are still not
setting it in kernel generated messages. Without the flag, message parsers
not aware of attribute semantics (e.g. wireshark dissector or libmnl's
mnl_nlmsg_fprintf()) cannot recognize nested attributes and won't display
the structure of their contents.
Unfortunately we cannot just add the flag everywhere as there may be
userspace applications which check nlattr::nla_type directly rather than
through a helper masking out the flags. Therefore the patch renames
nla_nest_start() to nla_nest_start_noflag() and introduces nla_nest_start()
as a wrapper adding NLA_F_NESTED. The calls which add NLA_F_NESTED manually
are rewritten to use nla_nest_start().
Except for changes in include/net/netlink.h, the patch was generated using

Random dropping of packets to achieve latency control may
introduce outlier situations where packets are dropped too
close to each other or too far from each other. This can
cause the real drop percentage to temporarily deviate from
the intended drop probability. In certain scenarios, such
as a small number of simultaneous TCP flows, these
deviations can cause significant deviations in link
utilization and queuing latency.
RFC 8033 suggests using a derandomization mechanism to avoid
these deviations.

The current implementation scales the local alpha and beta
variables in the calculate_probability function by the same
amount for all values of drop probability below 1%.
RFC 8033 suggests using additional cases for auto-tuning
alpha and beta when the drop probability is less than 1%.
In order to add more auto-tuning cases, MAX_PROB must be
scaled by u64 instead of u32 to prevent underflow when
scaling the local alpha and beta variables in the
calculate_probability function.

Qdisc performance suffers when packets are dropped at enqueue()
time because drops (kfree_skb()) are done while qdisc lock is held,
delaying a dequeue() draining the queue.
Nominal throughput can be reduced by 50 % when this happens,
at a time we would like the dequeue() to proceed as fast as possible.
Even FQ is vulnerable to this problem, while one of FQ goals was
to provide some flow isolation.
This patch adds a 'struct sk_buff **to_free' parameter to all
qdisc->enqueue(), and in qdisc_drop() helper.
I measured a performance increase of up to 12 %, but this patch
is a prereq so that future batches in enqueue() can fly.

Proportional Integral controller Enhanced (PIE) is a scheduler to address the
bufferbloat problem.
>From the IETF draft below:
" Bufferbloat is a phenomenon where excess buffers in the network cause high
latency and jitter. As more and more interactive applications (e.g. voice over
IP, real time video streaming and financial transactions) run in the Internet,
high latency and jitter degrade application performance. There is a pressing
need to design intelligent queue management schemes that can control latency and
jitter; and hence provide desirable quality of service to users.
We present here a lightweight design, PIE(Proportional Integral controller
Enhanced) that can effectively control the average queueing latency to a target
value. Simulation results, theoretical analysis and Linux testbed results have
shown that PIE can ensure low latency and achieve high link utilization under
various congestion situations. The design does not require per-packet
timestamp, so it incurs very small overhead and is simple enough to implement
in both hardware and software. "
