net: sched: add Flow Queue PIE packet scheduler
Flow Queue PIE packet scheduler
This patch series implements the Flow Queue Proportional
Integral controller Enhanced (FQ-PIE) active queue
Management algorithm. It is an enhancement over the PIE
algorithm. It integrates the PIE aqm with a deficit round robin
scheme.
FQ-PIE is implemented over the latest version of PIE which
uses timestamps to calculate queue delay with an additional
option of using average dequeue rate to calculate the queue
delay. This patch also adds a memory limit of all the packets
across all queues to a default value of 32Mb.
- Patch #1
- Creates pie.h and moves all small functions and structures
common to PIE and FQ-PIE here. The functions are all made
inline.
- Patch #2 - #8
- Addresses code formatting, indentation, comment changes
and rearrangement of structure members.
- Patch #9
- Refactors sch_pie.c by changing arguments to
calculate_probability(), [pie_]drop_early() and
pie_process_dequeue() to make it generic enough to
be used by sch_fq_pie.c. These functions are exported
to be used by sch_fq_pie.c.
- Patch #10
- Adds the FQ-PIE Qdisc.

Changes from v6 to v7
- Call tcf_block_put() when destroying the Qdisc as suggested
by Jakub Kicinski.
Changes from v5 to v6
- Rearranged struct members according to their access pattern
and to remove holes.
Changes from v4 to v5
- This patch series breaks down patch 1 of v4 into
separate logical commits as suggested by David Miller.
Changes from v3 to v4
- Used non deprecated version of nla_parse_nested
- Used SZ_32M macro
- Removed an unused variable
- Code cleanup
All suggested by Jakub and Toke.
Changes from v2 to v3
- Exported drop_early, pie_process_dequeue and
calculate_probability functions from sch_pie as
suggested by Stephen Hemminger.
Changes from v1 ( and RFC patch) to v2
- Added timestamp to calculate queue delay as recommended
by Dave Taht
- Packet memory limit implemented as recommended by Toke.
- Added external classifier as recommended by Toke.
- Used NET_XMIT_CN instead of NET_XMIT_DROP as the return
value in the fq_pie_qdisc_enqueue function.
