      net/sched: add skbprio scheduler · aea5f654
      Nishanth Devarajan authored
      Skbprio (SKB Priority Queue) is a queueing discipline that prioritizes packets
      according to their skb->priority field. Under congestion, already-enqueued lower
      priority packets will be dropped to make space available for higher priority
      packets. Skbprio was conceived as a solution for denial-of-service defenses that
      need to route packets with different priorities as a means to overcome DoS
      attacks.
      
      v5
      *Do not reference qdisc_dev(sch)->tx_queue_len for setting limit. Instead set
      default sch->limit to 64.
      
      v4
      *Drop Documentation/networking/sch_skbprio.txt doc file to move it to tc man
      page for Skbprio, in iproute2.
      
      v3
      *Drop max_limit parameter in struct skbprio_sched_data and instead use
      sch->limit.
      
      *Reference qdisc_dev(sch)->tx_queue_len only once, during initialisation for
      qdisc (previously being referenced every time qdisc changes).
      
      *Move qdisc's detailed description from in-code to Documentation/networking.
      
      *When qdisc is saturated, enqueue incoming packet first before dequeueing
      lowest priority packet in queue - improves usage of call stack registers.
      
      *Introduce and use overlimit stat to keep track of number of dropped packets.
      
      v2
      *Use skb->priority field rather than DS field. Rename queueing discipline as
      SKB Priority Queue (previously Gatekeeper Priority Queue).
      
      *Queueing discipline is made classful to expose Skbprio's internal priority
      queues.
