[RFC PATCH 14/30] net/netpolicy: add MIX policy

kan.liang
2016-07-18T14:23:34Z

MIX policy is combine of other policies. It allows different queue has
different policy. If MIX policy is applied,
/proc/net/netpolicy/$DEV/policy shows per queue policy.
Usually, the workloads requires either high throughput or low latency.
So for current implementation, MIX policy is combine of latency policy
and bulk policy.
The workloads which requires high throughput are usually utilize more
CPU resources compared to the workloads which requires low latency. This
means that if there is an equal interest in latency and throughput
performance, it is better to reserve more bulk queues than latency
queues.
In this patch, MIX policy is forced to include 1/3 latency policy queues
and 2/3 bulk policy queues.
