HTB already can deal with 64bit rates, we only have to add two new
attributes so that tc can use them to break the current 32bit ABI
barrier.

TCA_HTB_RATE64 : class rate  (in bytes per second)
TCA_HTB_CEIL64 : class ceil  (in bytes per second)

This allows us to setup HTB on 40Gbps links, as 32bit limit is
actually ~34Gbps

Add an extra u64 rate parameter to psched_ratecfg_precompute()
so that some qdisc can opt-in for 64bit rates in the future,
to overcome the ~34 Gbits limit.

psched_ratecfg_getrate() reports a legacy structure to
tc utility, so if actual rate is above the 32bit rate field,
cap it to the 34Gbit limit.

commit 56b765b7 ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates")
broke the "linklayer atm" handling.

 tc class add ... htb rate X ceil Y linklayer atm

The linklayer setting is implemented by modifying the rate table
which is send to the kernel.  No direct parameter were
transferred to the kernel indicating the linklayer setting.

The commit 56b765b7 ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates")
removed the use of the rate table system.

To keep compatible with older iproute2 utils, this patch detects
the linklayer by parsing the rate table.  It also supports future
versions of iproute2 to send this linklayer parameter to the
kernel directly. This is done by using the __reserved field in
struct tc_ratespec, to convey the choosen linklayer option, but
only using the lower 4 bits of this field.

Linklayer detection is limited to speeds below 100Mbit/s, because
at high rates the rtab is gets too inaccurate, so bad that
several fields contain the same values, this resembling the ATM
detect.  Fields even start to contain "0" time to send, e.g. at
1000Mbit/s sending a 96 bytes packet cost "0", thus the rtab have
been more broken than we first realized.

When userspace passes a large priority value
the assignment of the unsigned value hopt->prio
to  signed int cl->prio causes cl->prio to become negative and the
comparison is with TC_HTB_NUMPRIO is always false.

The result is that HTB crashes by referencing outside
the array when processing packets. With this patch the large value
wraps around like other values outside the normal range.

htb_sched structures are big, and source of false sharing on SMP.

Every time a packet is queued or dequeue, many cache lines must be
touched because structures are not lay out properly.

By carefully splitting htb_sched in two parts, and define sub structures
to increase data locality, we can improve performance dramatically on
SMP.

New htb_prio structure can also be used in htb_class to increase data
locality.

With a thousand htb classes, est_timer() spends ~5 million cpu cycles
and throws out cpu cache, because each htb class has a default
rate estimator (est 4sec 16sec).

Most users do not use default rate estimators, so switch htb
to not setup ones.

Add a module parameter (htb_rate_est) so that users relying
on this default rate estimator can revert the behavior.

struct gnet_stats_rate_est contains u32 fields, so the bytes per second
field can wrap at 34360Mbit.

Add a new gnet_stats_rate_est64 structure to get 64bit bps/pps fields,
and switch the kernel to use this structure natively.

This structure is dumped to user space as a new attribute :

TCA_STATS_RATE_EST64

Old tc command will now display the capped bps (to 34360Mbit), instead
of wrapped values, and updated tc command will display correct
information.

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

2) Missing qdisc_put_rtab() calls in htb_change_class(),

Current HTB (and TBF) uses rate table computed by the "tc"
userspace program, which has the following issue:

The rate table has 256 entries to map packet lengths
to token (time units).  With TSO sized packets, the
256 entry granularity leads to loss/gain of rate,
making the token bucket inaccurate.

Thus, instead of relying on rate table, this patch
explicitly computes the time and accounts for packet
transmission times with nanosecond granularity.

This greatly improves accuracy of HTB with a wide
range of packet sizes.

Example:

tc qdisc add dev $dev root handle 1: \
        htb default 1

tc class add dev $dev classid 1:1 parent 1: \
        rate 5Gbit mtu 64k

Here is an example of inaccuracy:

$ iperf -c host -t 10 -i 1

With old htb:
eth4:   34.76 Mb/s In  5827.98 Mb/s Out -  65836.0 p/s In  481273.0 p/s Out
[SUM]  9.0-10.0 sec   669 MBytes  5.61 Gbits/sec
[SUM]  0.0-10.0 sec  6.50 GBytes  5.58 Gbits/sec

With new htb:
eth4:   28.36 Mb/s In  5208.06 Mb/s Out -  53704.0 p/s In  430076.0 p/s Out
[SUM]  9.0-10.0 sec   594 MBytes  4.98 Gbits/sec
[SUM]  0.0-10.0 sec  5.80 GBytes  4.98 Gbits/sec

The bits per second on the wire is still 5200Mb/s with new HTB
because qdisc accounts for packet length using skb->len, which
is smaller than total bytes on the wire if GSO is used.  But
that is for another patch regardless of how time is accounted.

Several qdiscs (CHOKe, SFQ, pfifo_head, ...) are able to drop a
previously enqueued packet, and bstats cannot be changed, so
bstats/rates are not accurate (over estimated)

This patch changes the qdisc_bstats updates to be done at dequeue() time
instead of enqueue() time. bstats counters no longer account for dropped
frames, and rates are more correct, since enqueue() bursts dont have

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

User has no way to tell if the "rate 0bit 0pps" is a real estimation, or a fake
one (because no estimator is active)

After this patch, tc command output is :
$ tc -s -d qdisc
qdisc pfifo_fast 0: dev eth0 root bands 3 priomap  1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

We add a parameter to gnet_stats_copy_rate_est() function so that
it can use gen_estimator_active(bstats, r), as suggested by Jarek.

This parameter can be NULL if check is not necessary, (htb for
example has a mandatory rate estimator)

The class argument to the ->graft(), ->leaf(), ->dump(), ->dump_stats() all
originate from either ->get() or ->walk() and are always valid.

Remove unnecessary checks.

In 5e140dfc "net: reorder struct Qdisc
for better SMP performance" the definition of struct gnet_stats_basic
changed incompatibly, as copies of this struct are shipped to
userland via netlink.

Restoring old behavior is not welcome, for performance reason.

Fix is to use a private structure for kernel, and
teach gnet_stats_copy_basic() to convert from kernel to user land,
using legacy structure (struct gnet_stats_basic)

Based on a report and initial patch from Michael Spang.

While looking for a possible reason of bugzilla report on HTB oops:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12858
I found the code in htb_delete calling htb_destroy_class on zero
refcount is very misleading: it can suggest this is a common path, and
destroy is called under sch_tree_lock. Actually, this can never happen
like this because before deletion cops->get() is done, and after
delete a class is still used by tclass_notify. The class destroy is
always called from cops->put(), so without sch_tree_lock.

This doesn't mean much now (since 2.6.27) because all vulnerable calls
were moved from htb_destroy_class to htb_delete, but there was a bug
in older kernels. The same change is done for other classful scheds,
which, it seems, didn't have similar locking problems here.

Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> suggested using a workqueue instead
of hrtimers to trigger netif_schedule() when there is a problem with
setting exact time of this event: 'The differnce - yeah, it shouldn't
make much, mainly wake up the qdisc earlier (but not too early) after
"too many events" occured _and_ no further enqueue events wake up the
qdisc anyways.'

Let's get some info on possible config problems. This patch brings
back an old warning, but is printed only once now.
