Thanks again [RFC] pkt_sched: gen_estimator: Don't report fake rate estimators We currently send TCA_STATS_RATE_EST elements to netlink users, even if no estimator is running. # 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 Sent 112833764978 bytes 1495081739 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) rate 0bit 0pps backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 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 Sent 561075 bytes 1196 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 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) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: restore gnet_stats_basic to previous definition

2009-08-18T04:33:49Z

In 5e140dfc1fe87eae27846f193086724806b33c7d "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.

pkt_sched: gen_estimator: Optimize gen_estimator_active()

2008-11-26T23:24:32Z

Since all other gen_estimator functions use bstats and rate_est params together, and searching for them is optimized now, let's use this also in gen_estimator_active(). The return type of gen_estimator_active() is changed to bool, and gen_find_node() parameters to const, btw. In tcf_act_police_locate() a check for ACT_P_CREATED is added before calling gen_estimator_active(). Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tc: policing requires a rate estimator

2008-11-26T05:14:06Z

Found that while trying average rate policing, it was possible to request average rate policing without a rate estimator. This results in no policing which is harmless but incorrect. Since policing could be setup in two steps, need to check in the kernel. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET_SCHED]: Convert packet schedulers from rtnetlink to new netlink API

2008-01-28T23:11:10Z

Convert packet schedulers to use the netlink API. Unfortunately a gradual conversion is not possible without breaking compilation in the middle or adding lots of casts, so this patch converts them all in one step. The patch has been mostly generated automatically with some minor edits to at least allow seperate conversion of classifiers and actions. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S.

[NET]: Allow dumping of application specific statistics if no primary TLV is used

Although this case is hypothetical at the moment, more advanced actions are likely to need this in the future. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Generic network statistics/estimator

2004-10-05T06:38:47Z

Work done by Thomas Graf and Jamal Hadi Salim The following patchset introduces generic network statistics for netlink users. It uses nested TLV which prevents further compatibility problems when introducing new statistics. Backward compatibility to existing TLV types TCA_STATS and TCA_XSTATS is ensured but can be easly removed once it is no longer needed. Therefore prior users of struct tc_stats can be converted to this API and existing userspace applications will not notice a difference while converted applications can use the new extendable statistic interface. Changes: - Add generic network statistics API for netlink users. - Introduces a generic rate estimator based on timers. Patch is based on Jamals patch and adapted to the new generic network statistics API. - Add documentation of generic network statistics and estimator API.
