.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
system is a framework to manage queuing disciplines on network
|
|
interfaces.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
introduces new macros to manipulate output queues.
|
|
The output queue macros are used to abstract queue operations and not to
|
|
touch the internal fields of the output queue structure.
|
|
The macros are independent from the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
implementation, and compatible with the traditional
|
|
.Vt ifqueue
|
|
macros for ease of transition.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn IFQ_ENQUEUE ,
|
|
.Fn IFQ_HANDOFF
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn IFQ_HANDOFF_ADJ
|
|
enqueue a packet
|
|
.Fa m
|
|
to the queue
|
|
.Fa ifq .
|
|
The underlying queuing discipline may discard the packet.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa error
|
|
argument is set to 0 on success, or
|
|
.Er ENOBUFS
|
|
if the packet is discarded.
|
|
The packet pointed to by
|
|
.Fa m
|
|
will be freed by the device driver on success, or by the queuing discipline on
|
|
failure, so the caller should not touch
|
|
.Fa m
|
|
after enqueuing.
|
|
.Fn IFQ_HANDOFF
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn IFQ_HANDOFF_ADJ
|
|
combine the enqueue operation with statistic generation and call
|
|
.Fn if_start
|
|
upon successful enqueue to initiate the actual send.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn IFQ_DEQUEUE
|
|
dequeues a packet from the queue.
|
|
The dequeued packet is returned in
|
|
.Fa m ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Fa m
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if no packet is dequeued.
|
|
The caller must always check
|
|
.Fa m
|
|
since a non-empty queue could return
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
under rate-limiting.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn IFQ_POLL_NOLOCK
|
|
returns the next packet without removing it from the queue.
|
|
The caller must hold the queue mutex when calling
|
|
.Fn IFQ_POLL_NOLOCK
|
|
in order to guarantee that a subsequent call to
|
|
.Fn IFQ_DEQUEUE_NOLOCK
|
|
dequeues the same packet.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn IFQ_*_NOLOCK
|
|
variants (if available) always assume that the caller holds the queue mutex.
|
|
They can be grabbed with
|
|
.Fn IFQ_LOCK
|
|
and released with
|
|
.Fn IFQ_UNLOCK .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn IFQ_PURGE
|
|
discards all the packets in the queue.
|
|
The purge operation is needed since a non-work conserving queue cannot be
|
|
emptied by a dequeue loop.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn IFQ_IS_EMPTY
|
|
can be used to check if the queue is empty.
|
|
Note that
|
|
.Fn IFQ_DEQUEUE
|
|
could still return
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if the queuing discipline is non-work conserving.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn IFQ_DRV_DEQUEUE
|
|
moves up to
|
|
.Fa ifq->ifq_drv_maxlen
|
|
packets from the queue to the
|
|
.Dq "driver managed"
|
|
queue and returns the first one via
|
|
.Fa m .
|
|
As for
|
|
.Fn IFQ_DEQUEUE ,
|
|
.Fa m
|
|
can be
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
even for a non-empty queue.
|
|
Subsequent calls to
|
|
.Fn IFQ_DRV_DEQUEUE
|
|
pass the packets from the
|
|
.Dq "driver managed"
|
|
queue without obtaining the queue mutex.
|
|
It is the responsibility of the caller to protect against concurrent access.
|
|
Enabling
|
|
.Nm
|
|
for a given queue sets
|
|
.Va ifq_drv_maxlen
|
|
to 0 as the
|
|
.Dq "bulk dequeue"
|
|
performed by
|
|
.Fn IFQ_DRV_DEQUEUE
|
|
for higher values of
|
|
.Va ifq_drv_maxlen
|
|
is adverse to
|
|
.Nm ALTQ Ns 's
|
|
internal timing.
|
|
Note that a driver must not mix
|
|
.Fn IFQ_DRV_*
|
|
macros with the default dequeue macros as the default macros do not look at the
|
|
.Dq "driver managed"
|
|
queue which might lead to an mbuf leak.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn IFQ_DRV_PREPEND
|
|
prepends
|
|
.Fa m
|
|
to the
|
|
.Dq "driver managed"
|
|
queue from where it will be obtained with the next call to
|
|
.Fn IFQ_DRV_DEQUEUE .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn IFQ_DRV_PURGE
|
|
flushes all packets in the
|
|
.Dq "driver managed"
|
|
queue and calls to
|
|
.Fn IFQ_PURGE
|
|
afterwards.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn IFQ_DRV_IS_EMPTY
|
|
checks for packets in the
|
|
.Dq "driver managed"
|
|
part of the queue.
|
|
If it is empty, it forwards to
|
|
.Fn IFQ_IS_EMPTY .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn IFQ_SET_MAXLEN
|
|
sets the queue length limit to the default FIFO queue.
|
|
The
|
|
.Va ifq_drv_maxlen
|
|
member of the
|
|
.Vt ifaltq
|
|
structure controls the length limit of the
|
|
.Dq "driver managed"
|
|
queue.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn IFQ_INC_LEN
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn IFQ_DEC_LEN
|
|
increment or decrement the current queue length in packets.
|
|
This is mostly for internal purposes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn IFQ_INC_DROPS
|
|
increments the drop counter and is identical to
|
|
.Fn IF_DROP .
|
|
It is defined for naming consistency only.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn IFQ_SET_READY
|
|
sets a flag to indicate that a driver was converted to use the new macros.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can be enabled only on interfaces with this flag.
|
|
.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
.Ss Vt ifaltq Ss structure
|
|
In order to keep compatibility with the existing code, the new
|
|
output queue structure
|
|
.Vt ifaltq
|
|
has the same fields.
|
|
The traditional
|
|
.Fn IF_*
|
|
macros and the code directly referencing the fields within
|
|
.Va if_snd
|
|
still work with
|
|
.Vt ifaltq .
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
##old-style## ##new-style##
|
|
|
|
|
struct ifqueue { | struct ifaltq {
|
|
struct mbuf *ifq_head; | struct mbuf *ifq_head;

|
|
|
|
|
.Ed
|

The new structure replaces
|
|
.Vt "struct ifqueue"
|
|
in

.Vt "struct ifnet" .

|
|

.Ed
|
|
The (simplified) new
|

macros look like:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
#define IFQ_DEQUEUE(ifq, m) \e
|
|
if (ALTQ_IS_ENABLED((ifq)) \e
|
|
ALTQ_DEQUEUE((ifq), (m)); \e
|
|
else \e
|
|
IF_DEQUEUE((ifq), (m));
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Ss Enqueue operation
|
|
The semantics of the enqueue operation is changed.
|
|
In the new style,
|
|
enqueue and packet drop are combined since they cannot be easily
|
|
separated in many queuing disciplines.
|
|
The new enqueue operation corresponds to the following macro that is
|
|
written with the old macros.
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
#define IFQ_ENQUEUE(ifq, m, error) \e
|
|
do { \e
|
|
if (IF_QFULL((ifq))) { \e
|
|
m_freem((m)); \e
|
|
(error) = ENOBUFS; \e
|
|
IF_DROP(ifq); \e
|
|
} else { \e
|
|
IF_ENQUEUE((ifq), (m)); \e
|
|
(error) = 0; \e
|
|
} \e
|
|
} while (0)
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn IFQ_ENQUEUE
|
|
does the following:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -hyphen -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
queue a packet,
|
|
.It
|
|
drop (and free) a packet if the enqueue operation fails.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the enqueue operation fails,
|
|
.Fa error
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Er ENOBUFS .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa m
|
|
mbuf is freed by the queuing discipline.
|
|
The caller should not touch mbuf after calling
|
|
.Fn IFQ_ENQUEUE
|
|
so that the caller may need to copy
|
|
.Va m_pkthdr.len
|
|
or
|
|
.Va m_flags
|
|
field beforehand for statistics.
|
|
.Fn IFQ_HANDOFF
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn IFQ_HANDOFF_ADJ
|
|
can be used if only default interface statistics and an immediate call to
|
|
.Fn if_start
|
|
are desired.
|
|
The caller should not use
|
|
.Fn senderr
|
|
since mbuf was already freed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The new style
|
|
.Fn if_output
|
|
looks as follows:

.Sh HOW TO CONVERT THE EXISTING DRIVERS
|
|
First, make sure the corresponding
|
|
.Fn if_output
|
|
is already converted to the new style.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Look for
|
|
.Va if_snd
|
|
in the driver.
|
|
Probably, you need to make changes to the lines that include
|
|
.Va if_snd .
|
|
.Ss Empty check operation
|
|
If the code checks
|
|
.Va ifq_head
|
|
to see whether the queue is empty or not, use
|
|
.Fn IFQ_IS_EMPTY .
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
##old-style## ##new-style##
|
|
|
|
|
if (ifp->if_snd.ifq_head != NULL) | if (!IFQ_IS_EMPTY(&ifp->if_snd))
|
|
|
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Fn IFQ_IS_EMPTY
|
|
only checks if there is any packet stored in the queue.
|
|
Note that even when
|
|
.Fn IFQ_IS_EMPTY
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv FALSE ,
|
|
.Fn IFQ_DEQUEUE
|
|
could still return
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if the queue is under rate-limiting.
|
|
.Ss Dequeue operation
|
|
Replace
|
|
.Fn IF_DEQUEUE
|
|
by
|
|
.Fn IFQ_DEQUEUE .
|
|
Always check whether the dequeued mbuf is
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
or not.
|
|
Note that even when
|
|
.Fn IFQ_IS_EMPTY
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv FALSE ,
|
|
.Fn IFQ_DEQUEUE
|
|
could return
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
due to rate-limiting.
|
|
.Bd -literal

|
.Ed
|
|
A driver is supposed to call
|
|
.Fn if_start
|
|
from transmission complete interrupts in order to trigger the next dequeue.
|
|
.Ss Poll-and-dequeue operation
|
|
If the code polls the packet at the head of the queue and actually uses
|
|
the packet before dequeuing it, use
|
|
.Fn IFQ_POLL_NOLOCK
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn IFQ_DEQUEUE_NOLOCK .
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
.Ed
|
|
It is guaranteed that
|
|
.Fn IFQ_DEQUEUE_NOLOCK
|
|
under the same lock as a previous
|
|
.Fn IFQ_POLL_NOLOCK
|
|
returns the same packet.
|
|
Note that they need to be guarded by
|
|
.Fn IFQ_LOCK .
|
|
.Ss Eliminating Fn IF_PREPEND
|
|
If the code uses
|
|
.Fn IF_PREPEND ,
|
|
you have to eliminate it unless you can use a
|
|
.Dq "driver managed"
|
|
queue which allows the use of
|
|
.Fn IFQ_DRV_PREPEND
|
|
as a substitute.
|
|
A common usage of
|
|
.Fn IF_PREPEND
|
|
is to cancel the previous dequeue operation.
|
|
You have to convert the logic into poll-and-dequeue.
