Do you mean in sfq.c - ie sfq_enqueue etc. Maybe you mean something else.


Yes, I ment the functions in the Qdisc_ops struct :

+static struct Qdisc_ops dup_qdisc_ops = {
+.next= NULL,
+.cl_ops= NULL,
+.id= "sfq",
+.priv_size= sizeof(struct sfq_sched_data),
+.enqueue= sfq_enqueue,
+.dequeue= sfq_dequeue,
+.requeue= sfq_requeue,
+.drop= sfq_drop,
+.init= sfq_init,
+.reset= sfq_reset,
+.destroy= NULL,
+.change= sfq_init,
+.dump= sfq_dump,
+.owner= THIS_MODULE,
+};


 What

is the event that triggers them and how often this event apears ( per
second ? ) ?
I don't know as such, but always assumed that when attached to HTB  - a
packet gets enqueued if there aren't enough (c)tokens to send it and
dequeued when there are. As for timing I don't think sfq uses any - it's
up to whatever it is attached to.


  Ok, the packet gets enqueued ... and the queue gets full. Then if a new
packet arrives and the queue is still full (  it has not been dequeued )
then this packet is dropped. 
I think a packet gets enqueued - then the queue length is checked and if 
it's full sfq_drop is called. sfq_drop drops a packet from the longest 
slot - hence the packet that filled the queue may or may not be the one 
that is dropped depending on which slot it got hashed to.

My question is ... is the queue dequeued
when it is full ? Or t can be dequeued even when the maximum has not
been reatched ? When this .dequeue function is called ?
It is normal for dequeue to be called before the queue is full - exactly 
when it gets called is the job of whatever the sfq got attached to.

Andy.

sfq_drop is called from sfq_enqueue when the queue is full. It drops 
from the longest slot.

requeue - don't know.

No, that is incorrect, when qdisc gets deleted its statistic also gets
deleted,
and if you are downloading at that time you may notice that downloads stops
for short time
so pakets are deleted, or else who will dequeue them if you deleted htb?

  I think .drop is not being called when the qdisc gets deleted ...
Haven't you ever seen droped pachets when looking at the statistics by a
qdisc ? I suspect that htb is also calling this function whenever the
bandwith requested by the qdisk is not big enough !

Logicaly it would be so:
enqueue caled by last(leaf) filter
dequeue called by htb
drop should not be used in normal operation, probably called on "tc dev eth0
del root"

(this is what I think it should be not nessecary t is so)

[LARTC] When the inside functions of a sfq are called ?

2004-04-15 Thread Adrian Saileanu

  I read the sched/qdiscs code from kernel source ... and I have some
questions :

  When the .enqueue, .dequeue, .drop, .requeue functions are called ? What
is the event that triggers them and how often this event apears ( per
second ? ) ? When a qdisc is dequeued ( when it's limit is reached ) ?

  Thanks
