      netem: rate extension · 7bc0f28c
      Hagen Paul Pfeifer 提交于
      Currently netem is not in the ability to emulate channel bandwidth. Only static
      delay (and optional random jitter) can be configured.
      
      To emulate the channel rate the token bucket filter (sch_tbf) can be used.  But
      TBF has some major emulation flaws. The buffer (token bucket depth/rate) cannot
      be 0. Also the idea behind TBF is that the credit (token in buckets) fills if
      no packet is transmitted. So that there is always a "positive" credit for new
      packets. In real life this behavior contradicts the law of nature where
      nothing can travel faster as speed of light. E.g.: on an emulated 1000 byte/s
      link a small IPv4/TCP SYN packet with ~50 byte require ~0.05 seconds - not 0
      seconds.
      
      Netem is an excellent place to implement a rate limiting feature: static
      delay is already implemented, tfifo already has time information and the
      user can skip TBF configuration completely.
      
      This patch implement rate feature which can be configured via tc. e.g:
      
      	tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem rate 10kbit
      
      To emulate a link of 5000byte/s and add an additional static delay of 10ms:
      
      	tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 10ms rate 5KBps
      
      Note: similar to TBF the rate extension is bounded to the kernel timing
      system. Depending on the architecture timer granularity, higher rates (e.g.
      10mbit/s and higher) tend to transmission bursts. Also note: further queues
      living in network adaptors; see ethtool(8).

      bql: Byte queue limits · 114cf580
      Tom Herbert 提交于
      Networking stack support for byte queue limits, uses dynamic queue
      limits library.  Byte queue limits are maintained per transmit queue,
      and a dql structure has been added to netdev_queue structure for this
      purpose.
      
      Configuration of bql is in the tx-<n> sysfs directory for the queue
      under the byte_queue_limits directory.  Configuration includes:
      limit_min, bql minimum limit
      limit_max, bql maximum limit
      hold_time, bql slack hold time
      
      Also under the directory are:
      limit, current byte limit
      inflight, current number of bytes on the queue

      dql: Dynamic queue limits · 75957ba3
      Tom Herbert 提交于
      Implementation of dynamic queue limits (dql).  This is a libary which
      allows a queue limit to be dynamically managed.  The goal of dql is
      to set the queue limit, number of objects to the queue, to be minimized
      without allowing the queue to be starved.
      
      dql would be used with a queue which has these properties:
      
      1) Objects are queued up to some limit which can be expressed as a
         count of objects.
      2) Periodically a completion process executes which retires consumed
         objects.
      3) Starvation occurs when limit has been reached, all queued data has
         actually been consumed but completion processing has not yet run,
         so queuing new data is blocked.
      4) Minimizing the amount of queued data is desirable.
      
      A canonical example of such a queue would be a NIC HW transmit queue.
      
      The queue limit is dynamic, it will increase or decrease over time
      depending on the workload.  The queue limit is recalculated each time
      completion processing is done.  Increases occur when the queue is
      starved and can exponentially increase over successive intervals.
      Decreases occur when more data is being maintained in the queue than
      needed to prevent starvation.  The number of extra objects, or "slack",
      is measured over successive intervals, and to avoid hysteresis the
      limit is only reduced by the miminum slack seen over a configurable
      time period.
      
      dql API provides routines to manage the queue:
      - dql_init is called to intialize the dql structure
      - dql_reset is called to reset dynamic values
      - dql_queued called when objects are being enqueued
      - dql_avail returns availability in the queue
      - dql_completed is called when objects have be consumed in the queue
      
      Configuration consists of:
      - max_limit, maximum limit
      - min_limit, minimum limit
      - slack_hold_time, time to measure instances of slack before reducing
        queue limit

      dev_mc_seq_ops uses dev_seq_start/next/stop but only allocates
      sizeof(struct seq_net_private) of private data, whereas it expects
      sizeof(struct dev_iter_state):
      
      struct dev_iter_state {
      	struct seq_net_private p;
      	unsigned int pos; /* bucket << BUCKET_SPACE + offset */
      };
      
      Create dev_seq_open_ops and use it so we don't have to expose
      struct dev_iter_state.
