Subject: [PATCH net-next] net_sched: more precise pkt_len computation
Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2012 11:32:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1351243970.6537.321.camel@edumazet-glaptop> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1351239007.6537.291.camel@edumazet-glaptop>

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

One long standing problem with TSO/GSO/GRO packets is that skb->len
doesnt represent a precise amount of bytes on wire.

Headers are only accounted for the first segment.
For TCP, thats typically 66 bytes per 1448 bytes segment missing,
an error of 4.5 %

As consequences :

1) TBF/CBQ/HTB/NETEM/... can send more bytes than the assigned limits.
2) Device stats are slightly under estimated as well.

Fix this by taking account of headers in qdisc_skb_cb(skb)->pkt_len
computation.

Packet schedulers should use pkt_len instead of skb->len for their
bandwidth limitations, and TSO enabled devices drivers could use pkt_len
if their statistics are not hardware assisted, and if they dont scratch
skb->cb[] first word.
