Before Google adopted FQ for its production servers,
we had to ensure AF4 packets would get a higher share
than BE1 ones.
As discussed this week in Netconf 2023 in Paris, it is time
to upstream this for public use.
After this patch FQ can replace pfifo_fast, with the following
differences :
- FQ uses WRR instead of strict prio, to avoid starvation of
low priority packets.
- We make sure each band/prio tracks its own usage against sch->limit.
This was done to make sure flood of low priority packets would not
prevent AF4 packets to be queued. Contributed by Willem.
- priomap can be changed, if needed (default value are the ones
coming from pfifo_fast).
In this patch, we set default band weights so that :
- high prio (band=0) packets get 90% of the bandwidth
if they compete with low prio (band=2) packets.
- high prio packets get 75% of the bandwidth
if they compete with medium prio (band=1) packets.
Following patch in this series adds the possibility to tune
the per-band weights.
As we added many fields in 'struct fq_sched_data', we had
to make sure to have the first cache line read-mostly, and
avoid wasting precious cache lines.
More optimizations are possible but will be sent separately.
