From 99c26c30f7e71702d4dcdb7dcf15c76c8386d404 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2014 20:35:18 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net_sched: drr: warn when qdisc is not work conserving The DRR scheduler requires that items on the active list are work conserving, i.e. do not hold on to skbs for throttling purposes, etc. Attaching e.g. tbf renders DRR useless because all other classes on the active list are delayed as well. So, warn users that this configuration won't work as expected; we already do this in couple of other qdiscs, see e.g. commit 7b4ea4fb0e47e4816fcd0f84c9d5d43719e30304 ('pkt_sched: sch_hfsc: sch_htb: Add non-work-conserving warning handler') The 'const' change is needed to avoid compiler warning ("discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type"). tested with: drr_hier() { parent=$1 classes=$2 for i in $(seq 1 $classes); do classid=$parent$(printf %x $i) tc class add dev eth0 parent $parent classid $classid drr tc qdisc add dev eth0 parent $classid tbf rate 64kbit burst 256kbit limit 64kbit done } tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: drr drr_hier 1: 32 tc filter add dev eth0 protocol all pref 1 parent 1: handle 1 flow hash keys dst perturb 1 divisor 32 Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: David S.
