dd914b4082 [PKT_SCHED] sch_prio: fix qdisc bands init
Currently when PRIO is configured to use N bands, it lets the packets be
directed to any of the bands 0..N-1. However, PRIO attaches a fifo qdisc
only to the bands that appear in the priomap; the rest of the N bands
remain with a noop qdisc attached. This patch changes PRIO's behavior so
that it attaches a fifo qdisc to all of the N bands.

2e4e6a17af [NETFILTER] x_tables: Abstraction layer for {ip,ip6,arp}_tables
This monster-patch tries to do the best job for unifying the data
structures and backend interfaces for the three evil clones ip_tables,
ip6_tables and arp_tables.  In an ideal world we would never have
allowed this kind of copy+paste programming... but well, our world
isn't (yet?) ideal.

o introduce a new x_tables module
o {ip,arp,ip6}_tables depend on this x_tables module
o registration functions for tables, matches and targets are only
  wrappers around x_tables provided functions
o all matches/targets that are used from ip_tables and ip6_tables
  are now implemented as xt_FOOBAR.c files and provide module aliases
  to ipt_FOOBAR and ip6t_FOOBAR
o header files for xt_matches are in include/linux/netfilter/,
  include/linux/netfilter_{ipv4,ipv6} contains compatibility wrappers
  around the xt_FOOBAR.h headers

Based on this patchset we're going to further unify the code,
gradually getting rid of all the layer 3 specific assumptions.

aa8751667d [PKT_SCHED]: sch_netem: correctly order packets to be sent simultaneously
If two packets were queued to be sent at the same time in the future,
their order would be reversed.  This would occur because the queue is
traversed back to front, and a position is found by checking whether
the new packet needs to be sent before the packet being examined.  If
the new packet is to be sent at the same time of a previous packet, it
would end up before the old packet in the queue.  This patch places
packets in the correct order when they are queued to be sent at a same
time in the future.

No, they were there before too, but you have to go up one level to see

300ce174eb [NETEM]: Support time based reordering
Change netem to support packets getting reordered because of variations in
delay. Introduce a special case version of FIFO that queues packets in order
based on the netem delay.

Since netem is classful, those users that don't want jitter based reordering
can just insert a pfifo instead of the default.

This required changes to generic skbuff code to allow finer grain manipulation
of sk_buff_head.  Insertion into the middle and reverse walk.

bdc450a0bb [PKT_SCHED]: (G)RED: Introduce hard dropping
Introduces a new flag TC_RED_HARDDROP which specifies that if ECN
marking is enabled packets should still be dropped once the
average queue length exceeds the maximum threshold.

This _may_ help to avoid global synchronisation during small
bursts of peers advertising but not caring about ECN. Use this
option very carefully, it does more harm than good if
(qth_max - qth_min) does not cover at least two average burst
cycles.

The difference to the current behaviour, in which we'd run into
the hard queue limit, is that due to the low pass filter of RED
short bursts are less likely to cause a global synchronisation.

The patch also improves WRED mode detection. The current behaviour
does not allow WRED mode to be turned off again without removing
the whole qdisc first. The new algorithm checks each VQ against
each other looking for equal priorities every time a VQ is changed
or added. The performance is poor, O(n**2), but it's used only
during administrative tasks and the number of VQs is strictly
limited.

sk_for_each(sk, node, &head->chain) {
     if (INET_MATCH(sk, acookie, saddr, daddr, ports, dif))
         goto hit; /* You sunk my battleship! */
}

The sk_for_each() does use prefetch() hints but only the begining of
"struct sock" is prefetched.

As INET_MATCH first comparison uses inet_sk(__sk)->daddr, wich is far
away from the begining of "struct sock", it has to bring into CPU
cache cold cache line. Each iteration has to use at least 2 cache
lines.

This can be problematic if some chains are very long.

2) The goal
-----------

The idea I had is to change things so that INET_MATCH() may return
FALSE in 99% of cases only using the data already in the CPU cache,
using one cache line per iteration.

3) Description of the patch
---------------------------

Adds a new 'unsigned int skc_hash' field in 'struct sock_common',
filling a 32 bits hole on 64 bits platform.

struct sock_common {
	unsigned short		skc_family;
	volatile unsigned char	skc_state;
	unsigned char		skc_reuse;
	int			skc_bound_dev_if;
	struct hlist_node	skc_node;
	struct hlist_node	skc_bind_node;
	atomic_t		skc_refcnt;
+	unsigned int		skc_hash;
	struct proto		*skc_prot;
};

Store in this 32 bits field the full hash, not masked by (ehash_size -
1) Using this full hash as the first comparison done in INET_MATCH
permits us immediatly skip the element without touching a second cache
line in case of a miss.

Suppress the sk_hashent/tw_hashent fields since skc_hash (aliased to
sk_hash and tw_hash) already contains the slot number if we mask with
(ehash_size - 1)

File include/net/inet_hashtables.h

64 bits platforms :
#define INET_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\
     (((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash))
     ((*((__u64 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->daddr)))== (__cookie))   &&  \
     ((*((__u32 *)&(inet_sk(__sk)->dport))) == (__ports))   &&  \
     (!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif))))

32bits platforms:
#define TCP_IPV4_MATCH(__sk, __hash, __cookie, __saddr, __daddr, __ports, __dif)\
     (((__sk)->sk_hash == (__hash))                 &&  \
     (inet_sk(__sk)->daddr          == (__saddr))   &&  \
     (inet_sk(__sk)->rcv_saddr      == (__daddr))   &&  \
     (!((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if) || ((__sk)->sk_bound_dev_if == (__dif))))


- Adds a prefetch(head->chain.first) in 
__inet_lookup_established()/__tcp_v4_check_established() and 
__inet6_lookup_established()/__tcp_v6_check_established() and 
__dccp_v4_check_established() to bring into cache the first element of the 
list, before the {read|write}_lock(&head->lock);

0fbbeb1ba4 [PKT_SCHED]: Fix missing qdisc_destroy() in qdisc_create_dflt()
qdisc_create_dflt() is missing to destroy the newly allocated
default qdisc if the initialization fails resulting in leaks
of all kinds. The only caller in mainline which may trigger
this bug is sch_tbf.c in tbf_create_dflt_qdisc().

Note: qdisc_create_dflt() doesn't fulfill the official locking
      requirements of qdisc_destroy() but since the qdisc could
      never be seen by the outside world this doesn't matter
      and it can stay as-is until the locking of pkt_sched
      is cleaned up.

Most users of skb_queue_len() want to know if the queue is

uses the queue list emptyness as the test.

0f9f32ac65 [PKT_SCHED] netem: use only inner qdisc -- no private skbuff queue
Netem works better if there if packets are just queued in the inner discipline
rather than having a separate delayed queue. Change to use the dequeue/requeue
to peek like TBF does.

By doing this potential qlen problems with the old method are avoided. The problems
happened when the netem_run that moved packets from the inner discipline to the nested
discipline failed (because inner queue was full). This happened in dequeue, so the
effective qlen of the netem would be decreased (because of the drop), but there was
no way to keep the outer qdisc (caller of netem dequeue) in sync.

The problem window is still there since this patch doesn't address the issue of
requeue failing in netem_dequeue, but that shouldn't happen since the sequence dequeue/requeue
should always work.  Long term correct fix is to implement qdisc->peek in all the qdisc's
to allow for this (needed by several other qdisc's as well).

20cc6befa2 [PKT_SCHED]: fix typo on Kconfig
This is a trivial fix for a typo on Kconfig, where the Generic Random Early 
Detection algorithm is abbreviated as RED instead of GRED.

c5c13fafd6 [PKT_SCHED]: improve hashing performance of cls_fw
Calculate hashtable size to fit into a page instead of a hardcoded
256 buckets hash table. Results in a 1024 buckets hashtable on
most systems.

Replace old naive extract-8-lsb-bits algorithm with a better
algorithm xor'ing 3 or 4 bit fields at the size of the hashtable
array index in order to improve distribution if the majority of
the lower bits are unused while keeping zero collision behaviour
for the most common use case.

Thanks to Wang Jian <lark@linux.net.cn> for bringing this issue
to attention and to Eran Mann <emann@mrv.com> for the initial
idea for this new algorithm.

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!
