1e90474c37 [NET_SCHED]: Convert packet schedulers from rtnetlink to new netlink API
Convert packet schedulers to use the netlink API. Unfortunately a gradual
conversion is not possible without breaking compilation in the middle or
adding lots of casts, so this patch converts them all in one step. The
patch has been mostly generated automatically with some minor edits to
at least allow seperate conversion of classifiers and actions.

20fea08b5f [NET]: Move Qdisc_class_ops and Qdisc_ops in appropriate sections.
Qdisc_class_ops are const, and Qdisc_ops are mostly read.

Using "const" and "__read_mostly" qualifiers helps to reduce false
sharing.

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.

6214e653cc [PKT_SCHED]: GRED: Remove auto-creation of default VQ
Since we are no longer depending on the default VQ to be always
allocated we can leave it up to the user to actually create it.
This gives the user the ability to leave it out on purpose and
enqueue packets directly to the device without applying the RED
algorithm.

7051703b99 [PKT_SCHED]: GRED: Dont abuse default VQ for equalizing
Introduces a new red parameter set for use in equalize mode,
although only the qavg variable and the idle period marker are
being used for now this makes it possible to allow a separate
parameter set to be used for equalize later on.

The use of this separate parameter set fixes a bogus start of
an idle period in gred_drop() which did start an idle period
on the default VQ even if equalize mode was disabled.

18e3fb84e6 [PKT_SCHED]: GRED: Improve error handling and messages
Try to enqueue packets if we cannot associate it with a VQ, this
basically means that the default VQ has not been set up yet.

We must check if the VQ still exists while requeueing, the VQ
might have been changed between dequeue and the requeue of the
underlying qdisc.

301d063c29 [PKT_SCHED]: GRED: Do not reset statistics in gred_reset/gred_change
Qdiscs are not supposed to reset statistics in reset() and while
changing parameters. My argumentation is that if the user wants
the counters to be reset he can simply remove and readd the
qdiscs, that's what most users do anyway.

22b33429ab [PKT_SCHED]: GRED: Use new generic red interface
Simplifies code a lot by separating the red algorithm and the
queueing logic. We now differentiate between probability marks
and forced marks but sum them together again to not break
backwards compatibility.

This brings GRED back to the level of RED and improves the
accuracy of the averge queue length calculations when stab
suggests a zero shift.

6639607ed9 [PKT_SCHED]: GRED: Use a central table definition change procedure
Introduces a function gred_change_table_def() acting as a central
point to change the table definition.

Adds missing validations for table definition: MAX_DPs > DPs > 0
and def_DP < DPs thus fixing possible invalid memory reference
oopses. Only root could do it but having a typo crashing the
machine is a bit hard.

Adds missing locking while changing the table definition, the
operation of changing the number of DPs and removing shadowed VQs
may not be interrupted by a dequeue.

dea3f62852 [PKT_SCHED]: GRED: Cleanup equalize flag and add new WRED mode detection
Introduces a flags variable using bitops and transforms eqp to use
it. Converts the conditions of the form (wred && rio) to (wred)
since wred can only be enabled in rio mode anyway.

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.

Linus Torvalds
1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
