      net: introduce SO_MAX_PACING_RATE · 62748f32
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      As mentioned in commit afe4fd06 ("pkt_sched: fq: Fair Queue packet
      scheduler"), this patch adds a new socket option.
      
      SO_MAX_PACING_RATE offers the application the ability to cap the
      rate computed by transport layer. Value is in bytes per second.
      
      u32 val = 1000000;
      setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_MAX_PACING_RATE, &val, sizeof(val));
      
      To be effectively paced, a flow must use FQ packet scheduler.
      
      Note that a packet scheduler takes into account the headers for its
      computations. The effective payload rate depends on MSS and retransmits
      if any.
      
      I chose to make this pacing rate a SOL_SOCKET option instead of a
      TCP one because this can be used by other protocols.
