2013-07-03netem: fix possible NULL deref in netem_dequeue()Eric Dumazet
commit aec0a40a6f7884 ("netem: use rb tree to implement the time queue") added a regression if a child qdisc is attached to netem, as we perform a NULL dereference. Fix this by adding a temporary variable to cache netem_skb_cb(skb)->time_to_send.

2013-01-29netem: fix delay calculation in rate extensionJohannes Naab
The delay calculation with the rate extension introduces in v3.3 does not properly work, if other packets are still queued for transmission. For the delay calculation to work, both delay types (latency and delay introduces by rate limitation) have to be handled differently. The latency delay for a packet can overlap with the delay of other packets. The delay introduced by the rate however is separate, and can only start, once all other rate-introduced delays finished. Latency delay is from same distribution for each packet, rate delay depends on the packet size. .: latency delay -: rate delay x: additional delay we have to wait since another packet is currently transmitted .....---- Packet 1 .....xx------ Packet 2 .....------ Packet 3 ^^^^^ latency stacks ^^ rate delay doesn't stack ^^ latency stacks -----> time When a packet is enqueued, we first consider the latency delay. If other packets are already queued, we can reduce the latency delay until the last packet in the queue is send, however the latency delay cannot be <0, since this would mean that the rate is overcommitted. The new reference point is the time at which the last packet will be send. To find the time, when the packet should be send, the rate introduces delay has to be added on top of that.

2012-07-16netem: refine early skb orphaningEric Dumazet
netem does an early orphaning of skbs. Doing so breaks TCP Small Queue or any mechanism relying on socket sk_wmem_alloc feedback. Ideally, we should perform this orphaning after the rate module and before the delay module, to mimic what happens on a real link : skb orphaning is indeed normally done at TX completion, before the transit on the link. +-------+ +--------+ +---------------+ +-----------------+ + Qdisc +---> Device +--> TX completion +--> links / hops +-> + + + xmit + + skb orphaning + + propagation + +-------+ +--------+ +---------------+ +-----------------+ < rate limiting > < delay, drops, reorders > If netem is used without delay feature (drops, reorders, rate limiting), then we should avoid early skb orphaning, to keep pressure on sockets as long as packets are still in qdisc queue. Ideally, netem should be refactored to implement delay module as the last stage. Current algorithm merges the two phases (rate limiting + delay) so its not correct.

2012-07-09netem: add limitation to reordered packetsEric Dumazet
Fix two netem bugs : 1) When a frame was dropped by tfifo_enqueue(), drop counter was incremented twice. 2) When reordering is triggered, we enqueue a packet without checking queue limit. This can OOM pretty fast when this is repeated enough, since skbs are orphaned, no socket limit can help in this situation.

2011-12-30netem: fix classful handlingEric Dumazet
Commit 10f6dfcfde (Revert "sch_netem: Remove classful functionality") reintroduced classful functionality to netem, but broke basic netem behavior : netem uses an t(ime)fifo queue, and store timestamps in skb->cb[] If qdisc is changed, time constraints are not respected and other qdisc can destroy skb->cb[] and block netem at dequeue time. Fix this by always using internal tfifo, and optionally attach a child qdisc to netem (or a tree of qdiscs) Example of use : DEV=eth3 tc qdisc del dev $DEV root tc qdisc add dev $DEV root handle 30: est 1sec 8sec netem delay 20ms 10ms tc qdisc add dev $DEV handle 40:0 parent 30:0 tbf \ burst 20480 limit 20480 mtu 1514 rate 32000bps qdisc netem 30: root refcnt 18 limit 1000 delay 20.0ms 10.0ms Sent 190792 bytes 413 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) rate 18416bit 3pps backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 qdisc tbf 40: parent 30: rate 256000bit burst 20Kb/8 mpu 0b lat 0us Sent 190792 bytes 413 pkt (dropped 6, overlimits 10 requeues 0) backlog 0b 5p requeues 0 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> CC: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-12-12netem: add cell concept to simulate special MAC behaviorHagen Paul Pfeifer
This extension can be used to simulate special link layer characteristics. Simulate because packet data is not modified, only the calculation base is changed to delay a packet based on the original packet size and artificial cell information. packet_overhead can be used to simulate a link layer header compression scheme (e.g. set packet_overhead to -20) or with a positive packet_overhead value an additional MAC header can be simulated. It is also possible to "replace" the 14 byte Ethernet header with something else. cell_size and cell_overhead can be used to simulate link layer schemes, based on cells, like some TDMA schemes. Another application area are MAC schemes using a link layer fragmentation with a (small) header each. Cell size is the maximum amount of data bytes within one cell. Cell overhead is an additional variable to change the per-cell-overhead (e.g. 5 byte header per fragment). Example (5 kbit/s, 20 byte per packet overhead, cell-size 100 byte, per cell overhead 5 byte): tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem rate 5kbit 20 100 5 Signed-off-by: Hagen Paul Pfeifer <hagen@jauu.net> Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Acked-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-11-30netem: rate extensionHagen Paul Pfeifer
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).

Remove linux/mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h -- it's unused (I've checked manually). To prevent mm.h inclusion via other channels also extract "enum dma_data_direction" definition into separate header. This tiny piece is what gluing netdevice.h with mm.h via "netdevice.h => dmaengine.h => dma-mapping.h => scatterlist.h => mm.h". Removal of mm.h from scatterlist.h was tried and was found not feasible on most archs, so the link was cutoff earlier. Hope people are OK with tiny include file.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
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.

2009-04-20net: sch_netem: Fix an inconsistency in ingress netem timestamps.Jarek Poplawski
Alex Sidorenko reported: "while experimenting with 'netem' we have found some strange behaviour. It seemed that ingress delay as measured by 'ping' command shows up on some hosts but not on others. After some investigation I have found that the problem is that skbuff->tstamp field value depends on whether there are any packet sniffers enabled. That is: - if any ptype_all handler is registered, the tstamp field is as expected - if there are no ptype_all handlers, the tstamp field does not show the delay" This patch prevents unnecessary update of tstamp in dev_queue_xmit_nit() on ingress path (with act_mirred) adding a check, so minimal overhead on the fast path, but only when sniffers etc. are active. Since netem at ingress seems to logically emulate a network before a host, tstamp is zeroed to trigger the update and pretend delays are from the outside.

The use of xchg() hasn't been necessary since 2.2.something when proper locking was added to packet schedulers. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-11-13pkt_sched: Remove qdisc->ops->requeue() etc.Jarek Poplawski
After implementing qdisc->ops->peek() and changing sch_netem into classless qdisc there are no more qdisc->ops->requeue() users. This patch removes this method with its wrappers (qdisc_requeue()), and also unused qdisc->requeue structure. There are a few minor fixes of warnings (htb_enqueue()) and comments btw. The idea to kill ->requeue() and a similar patch were first developed by David S. Miller. Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-11-02sch_netem: Replace ->requeue() method with open codeJarek Poplawski
After removing netem classful functionality we are sure its inner qdisc is tfifo, so we can replace qdisc->ops->requeue() method with open code. After this patch there are no more ops->requeue() users. The idea of this patch is by Patrick McHardy. Signed-off-by: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-11-02sch_netem: Remove classful functionalityJarek Poplawski
Patrick McHardy noticed that: "a lot of the functionality of netem requires the inner tfifo anyways and rate-limiting is usually done on top of netem. So I would suggest so either hard-wire the tfifo qdisc or at least make the assumption that inner qdiscs are work-conserving.", and later: "- a lot of other qdiscs still don't work as inner qdiscs of netem [...]". So, according to his suggestion, this patch removes classful options of netem. The main reason of this change is to remove ops->requeue() method, which is currently used only by netem.

2008-10-31pkt_sched: Add peek emulation for non-work-conserving qdiscs.Jarek Poplawski
This patch adds qdisc_peek_dequeued() wrapper to emulate peek method with qdisc->dequeue() and storing "peeked" skb in qdisc->gso_skb until dequeuing. This is mainly for compatibility reasons not to break some strange configs because peeking is expected for non-work-conserving parent qdiscs to query work-conserving child qdiscs. This implementation requires using qdisc_dequeue_peeked() wrapper instead of directly calling qdisc->dequeue() for all qdiscs ever querried with qdisc->ops->peek() or qdisc_peek_dequeued().
