[PATCH 0/7] SFQ: backport some features from ESFQ

[PATCH 0/7] SFQ: backport some features from ESFQ

[Corey Hickey]

Hello,

This set of patches adds some of ESFQ's modifications to the original 
SFQ. Thus far, I have received support for this approach rather than for 
trying to get ESFQ included as a separate qdisc.

http://mailman.ds9a.nl/pipermail/lartc/2007q2/021056.html

My patches here implement "tc qdisc change", user-configurable depth 
(number of flows), and user-configurable divisor (for setting hash table 
size). I've left out the remaining ESFQ features (usage of jhash and 
different hashing methods) because Patrick McHardy intends to submit a 
patch that will supersede that functionality; see the URL above.

Default values remain the same, and SFQ's default behavior remains the 
same, so there should be no user disruption.

A patch for iproute2 is included after the end of the kernel patch series.

Thanks for your consideration,
Corey

[PATCH 1/7] Preparatory refactoring part 1.

[Corey Hickey]

Make a new function sfq_q_enqueue() that operates directly on the
queue data. This will be useful for implementing sfq_change() in
a later patch. A pleasant side-effect is reducing most of the
duplicate code in sfq_enqueue() and sfq_requeue().

Similarly, make a new function sfq_q_dequeue().

[PATCH 2/7] Preparatory refactoring part 2.

[Corey Hickey]

Factor code out of sfq_init() and sfq_destroy(), again so that the
new functions can be used by sfq_change() later.

Actually, as the diff itself shows, most of the sfq_q_init() code
comes from the original sfq_change(), but sfq_change() is only
called by sfq_init() right now. Thus, it is safe to remove
sfq_change(); "tc qdisc change" doesn't yet work for sfq anyway.

The sfq_destroy() --> sfq_q_destroy() change looks pointless here,
but it's cleaner to split now and add code to sfq_q_destroy() in a
later patch.

[PATCH 3/7] Move two functions.

Move sfq_q_destroy() to above sfq_q_init() so that it can be used
by an error case in a later patch.

Move sfq_destroy() as well, for clarity.

[PATCH] [iproute2] SFQ: Support changing depth and divisor.

[Corey Hickey]

This can safely be applied either before or after the kernel
patches because the tc_sfq_qopt struct is unchanged:

- old kernels will ignore the parameters from new iproute2
- new kernels will use the same default parameters

No need to check for !=NULL. kfree handles NULL.

Compare depth against (~0U/2)-1? What's that doing? Should probably add a comment.

You may chose to use kcalloc for array allocations.

~0U/2 - 1 is the maximum value depth can be, based on how it is used in 
indexing q->dep. I agree, though, that deserves a comment. Actually, 
I'll also change it to '#define SFQ_DEPTH_MAX (~0U/2 - 1)' and put it 
near the top of the file next to the 'typedef unsigned int sfq_index;'.

I could also include limits.h and use UINT_MAX instead of ~0U; would 
that be preferable?

The arrays in the original code don't get zeroed either, so that 
shouldn't be necessary (and I haven't heard of any problems so far). Do 
you suggest I use kcalloc() anyway, just as a good practice?

Are you saying that the 'err_case:' leaks kmallocs? It calls 
sfq_q_destroy(q), which kfrees each of the arrays: dep, next, allot, 
hash, and qs. Is that sufficient, or am I missing something or 
misunderstanding you?

Thank you for your review. Could you please clarify the questions I 
have? I'll make, test, and submit a revision of this patch after that.

Seems like a good idea.

Well, I think we don't have strict rules on that, so it depends
on the developer's taste. The advantage of kcalloc is, that it might
catch errors in the args better than this opencoded multiplication.
(There's some BUG_ON logic in kcalloc)

Ok, I didn't see that. So this should be ok.

Crud; I wasn't expecting git-send-email to thread the messages that way. 
I guess I should have used --no-chain-reply-to. If I ought re-send this 
series with that option, somebody please say the word and I'll do so.

It's not necessary, let some feedback come in first.

SFQ: backport some features from ESFQ (try 2)

[Corey Hickey]

Hello,

Patchset try 2 addresses the review by Michael Buesch.

This set of patches adds some of ESFQ's modifications to the original 
SFQ. Thus far, I have received support for this approach rather than for 
trying to get ESFQ included as a separate qdisc.

http://mailman.ds9a.nl/pipermail/lartc/2007q2/021056.html

My patches here implement "tc qdisc change", user-configurable depth 
(number of flows), and user-configurable divisor (for setting hash table 
size). I've left out the remaining ESFQ features (usage of jhash and 
different hashing methods) because Patrick McHardy intends to submit a 
patch that will supersede that functionality; see the URL above.

Default values remain the same, and SFQ's default behavior remains the 
same, so there should be no user disruption.

A patch for iproute2 is included after the end of the kernel patch series.

Thanks for your consideration,
Corey

[Corey Hickey]

This can safely be applied either before or after the kernel
patches because the tc_sfq_qopt struct is unchanged:

- old kernels will ignore the parameters from new iproute2
- new kernels will use the same default parameters
