Subject: [iproute2-next V4 5/6] netshaper: Add group command for creating scheduling hierarchies
Date: Mon, 18 May 2026 13:23:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260518202353.390827-6-mohsin.bashr@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260518202353.390827-1-mohsin.bashr@gmail.com>
From: Mohsin Bashir <hmohsin@meta.com>
Add the group command to create and update scheduling groups via the
NET_SHAPER_CMD_GROUP netlink operation. This enables building shaper
hierarchies by specifying a node handle, parent scope, rate parameters,
and a set of leaf shapers to attach.
The group command allows the node handle id to be omitted, letting
the kernel auto-assign one for new nodes. Group handle and parent
scopes are validated to accept only node or netdev. Parent node scope
requires an explicit id since it must reference an existing node.
Leaf parsing is extracted into parse_leaves() which dynamically
allocates the leaves array via realloc, avoiding arbitrary limits.
Each leaf accepts optional weight and priority parameters for
per-queue scheduling control within the group. Handle and parent
parsing share parse_scope_id() to avoid code duplication. Common
argument parsing (dev, bw-min, bw-max, weight) reuses the
parse_shaper_arg() helper introduced in the previous patch.
Example usage:
netshaper group dev foo handle scope node parent scope netdev \
bw-max 1gbit leaves scope queue id 0 weight 3 \
scope queue id 1 weight 2
