* cls_cgroup: clean up KconfigLi Zefan2008-12-29
| | | | | | | | cls_cgroup can't be compiled as a module, since it's not supported by cgroup. Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* pkt_sched: add DRR schedulerPatrick McHardy2008-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add classful DRR scheduler as a more flexible replacement for SFQ. The main difference to the algorithm described in "Efficient Fair Queueing using Deficit Round Robin" is that this implementation doesn't drop packets from the longest queue on overrun because its classful and limits are handled by each individual child qdisc.

* pkt_sched: Control group classifierThomas Graf2008-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The classifier should cover the most common use case and will work without any special configuration. The principle of the classifier is to directly access the task_struct via get_current(). In order for this to work, classification requests from softirqs must be ignored. This is not a problem because the vast majority of packets in softirq context are not assigned to a task anyway. For this to work, a mechanism is needed to trace softirq context. This repost goes back to the method of relying on the number of nested bh disable calls for the sake of not adding too much complexity and the option to come up with something more reliable if actually needed.

* pkt_sched: Add multiqueue scheduler supportAlexander Duyck2008-09-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is intended to add a qdisc to support the new tx multiqueue architecture by providing a band for each hardware queue. By doing this it is possible to support a different qdisc per physical hardware queue. This qdisc uses the skb->queue_mapping to select which band to place the traffic onto. It then uses a round robin w/ a check to see if the subqueue is stopped to determine which band to dequeue the packet from.

* [NET_SCHED]: Add flow classifierPatrick McHardy2008-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add new "flow" classifier, which is meant to extend the SFQ hashing capabilities without hard-coding new hash functions and also allows deterministic mappings of keys to classes, replacing some out of tree iptables patches like IPCLASSIFY (maps IPs to classes), IPMARK (maps IPs to marks, with fw filters to classes), ... Some examples: - Classic SFQ hash: tc filter add ... flow hash \ keys src,dst,proto,proto-src,proto-dst divisor 1024 - Classic SFQ hash, but using information from conntrack to work properly in combination with NAT: tc filter add ... flow hash \ keys nfct-src,nfct-dst,proto,nfct-proto-src,nfct-proto-dst divisor 1024 - Map destination IPs of 192.168.0.0/24 to classids 1-257: tc filter add ... flow map \ key dst addend -192.168.0.0 divisor 256 - alternatively: tc filter add ... flow map \ key dst and 0xff - similar, but reverse ordered: tc filter add ... flow map \ key dst and 0xff xor 0xff Perturbation is currently not supported because we can't reliable kill the timer on destruction.

* [NET_SCHED]: sch_ingress: remove netfilter supportPatrick McHardy2008-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the old policer code is gone, TC actions are needed for policing. The ingress qdisc can get packets directly from netif_receive_skb() in case TC actions are enabled or through netfilter otherwise, but since without TC actions there is no policer the only thing it actually does is count packets. Remove the netfilter support and always require TC actions. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Acked-by: Jamal Hadi Salim <hadi@cyberus.ca> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [PKT_SCHED]: Add stateless NATHerbert Xu2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Stateless NAT is useful in controlled environments where restrictions are placed on through traffic such that we don't need connection tracking to correctly NAT protocol-specific data. In particular, this is of interest when the number of flows or the number of addresses being NATed is large, or if connection tracking information has to be replicated and where it is not practical to do so. Previously we had stateless NAT functionality which was integrated into the IPv4 routing subsystem. This was a great solution as long as the NAT worked on a subnet to subnet basis such that the number of NAT rules was relatively small. The reason is that for SNAT the routing based system had to perform a linear scan through the rules. If the number of rules is large then major renovations would have take place in the routing subsystem to make this practical. For the time being, the least intrusive way of achieving this is to use the u32 classifier written by Alexey Kuznetsov along with the actions infrastructure implemented by Jamal Hadi Salim. The following patch is an attempt at this problem by creating a new nat action that can be invoked from u32 hash tables which would allow large number of stateless NAT rules that can be used/updated in constant time. The actual NAT code is mostly based on the previous stateless NAT code written by Alexey. In future we might be able to utilise the protocol NAT code from netfilter to improve support for other protocols. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the new sch_rr qdisc for multiqueue network device support.

* [NET_SCHED]: Use ktime as clocksourcePatrick McHardy2007-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Get rid of the manual clock source selection mess and use ktime. Also use a scalar representation, which allows to clean up pkt_sched.h a bit more and results in less ktime_to_ns() calls in most cases. The PSCHED_US2JIFFIE/PSCHED_JIFFIE2US macros are implemented quite inefficient by this patch, following patches will convert all qdiscs to hrtimers and get rid of them entirely.

* [PKT_SCHED]: Make sch_fifo.o available when CONFIG_NET_SCHED is not set.David Kimdon2006-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Based on patch by Patrick McHardy. Add a new option, NET_SCH_FIFO, which provides a simple fifo qdisc without requiring CONFIG_NET_SCHED. The d80211 stack needs a generic fifo qdisc for WME. At present it uses net/d80211/fifo_qdisc.c which is functionally equivalent to sch_fifo.c. This patch will allow the d80211 stack to remove net/d80211/fifo_qdisc.c and use sch_fifo.c instead. Signed-off-by: David Kimdon <david.kimdon@devicescape.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [NET]: move config options out to individual protocolsSam Ravnborg2005-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move the protocol specific config options out to the specific protocols. With this change net/Kconfig now starts to become readable and serve as a good basis for further re-structuring. The menu structure is left almost intact, except that indention is fixed in most cases. Most visible are the INET changes where several "depends on INET" are replaced with a single ifdef INET / endif pair. Several new files were created to accomplish this change - they are small but serve the purpose that config options are now distributed out where they belongs.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
