sched: Add Common Applications Kept Enhanced (cake) qdisc
sch_cake targets the home router use case and is intended to squeeze the most bandwidth and latency out of even the slowest ISP links and routers, while presenting an API simple enough that even an ISP can configure it. Example of use on a cable ISP uplink: tc qdisc add dev eth0 cake bandwidth 20Mbit nat docsis ack-filter To shape a cable download link (ifb and tc-mirred setup elided) tc qdisc add dev ifb0 cake bandwidth 200mbit nat docsis ingress wash CAKE is filled with: * A hybrid Codel/Blue AQM algorithm, "Cobalt", tied to an FQ_Codel derived Flow Queuing system, which autoconfigures based on the bandwidth. * A novel "triple-isolate" mode (the default) which balances per-host and per-flow FQ even through NAT. * An deficit based shaper, that can also be used in an unlimited mode. * 8 way set associative hashing to reduce flow collisions to a minimum. * A reasonable interpretation of various diffserv latency/loss tradeoffs. * Support for zeroing diffserv markings for entering and exiting traffic. * Support for interacting well with Docsis 3.0 shaper framing. * Extensive support for DSL framing types. * Support for ack filtering. * Extensive statistics for measuring, loss, ecn markings, latency variation. A paper describing the design of CAKE is available at https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.07617, and will be published at the 2018 IEEE International Symposium on Local and Metropolitan Area Networks (LANMAN). This patch adds the base shaper and packet scheduler, while subsequent commits add the optional (configurable) features. The full userspace API and most data structures are included in this commit, but options not understood in the base version will be ignored. Various versions baking have been available as an out of tree build for kernel versions going back to 3.10, as the embedded router world has been running a few years behind mainline Linux. A stable version has been generally available on lede-17.01 and later. sch_cake replaces a combination of iptables, tc filter, htb and fq_codel in the sqm-scripts, with sane defaults and vastly simpler configuration. CAKE's principal author is Jonathan Morton, with contributions from Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant, Toke Høiland-Jørgensen, Sebastian Moeller, Ryan Mounce, Tony Ambardar, Dean Scarff, Nils Andreas Svee, Dave Täht, and Loganaden Velvindron. Testing from Pete Heist, Georgios Amanakis, and the many other members of the cake@lists.bufferbloat.net mailing list. tc -s qdisc show dev eth2 qdisc cake 8017: root refcnt 2 bandwidth 1Gbit diffserv3 triple-isolate split-gso rtt 100.0ms noatm overhead 38 mpu 84 Sent 51504294511 bytes 37724591 pkt (dropped 6, overlimits 64958695 requeues 12) backlog 0b 0p requeues 12 memory used: 1053008b of 15140Kb capacity estimate: 970Mbit min/max network layer size: 28 / 1500 min/max overhead-adjusted size: 84 / 1538 average network hdr offset: 14 Bulk Best Effort Voice thresh 62500Kbit 1Gbit 250Mbit target 5.0ms 5.0ms 5.0ms interval 100.0ms 100.0ms 100.0ms pk_delay 5us 5us 6us av_delay 3us 2us 2us sp_delay 2us 1us 1us backlog 0b 0b 0b pkts 3164050 25030267 9530280 bytes 3227519915 35396974782 12879808898 way_inds 0 8 0 way_miss 21 366 25 way_cols 0 0 0 drops 5 0 1 marks 0 0 0 ack_drop 0 0 0 sp_flows 1 3 0 bk_flows 0 1 1 un_flows 0 0 0 max_len 68130 68130 68130 Tested-by: Pete Heist <peteheist@gmail.com> Tested-by: Georgios Amanakis <gamanakis@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Taht <dave.taht@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@toke.dk> Signed-off-by: David S.
