From af356afa010f3cd2c8b8fcc3bce90f7a7b7ec02a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick McHardy Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2009 06:41:18 +0000 Subject: net_sched: reintroduce dev->qdisc for use by sch_api Currently the multiqueue integration with the qdisc API suffers from a few problems: - with multiple queues, all root qdiscs use the same handle. This means they can't be exposed to userspace in a backwards compatible fashion. - all API operations always refer to queue number 0. Newly created qdiscs are automatically shared between all queues, its not possible to address individual queues or restore multiqueue behaviour once a shared qdisc has been attached. - Dumps only contain the root qdisc of queue 0, in case of non-shared qdiscs this means the statistics are incomplete. This patch reintroduces dev->qdisc, which points to the (single) root qdisc from userspace's point of view. Currently it either points to the first (non-shared) default qdisc, or a qdisc shared between all queues. The following patches will introduce a classful dummy qdisc, which will be used as root qdisc and contain the per-queue qdiscs as children. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S.
