Bug description:
[ Impact ]
Starting with Ubuntu 22.10, the default qdisc regressed to pfifo_fast. This
is due to a change we merged from Debian, removing systemd's
/usr/lib/50-default.conf file. pfifo_fast does not prevent bufferbloat issues,
severely degrading networking performance on Ubuntu systems.
[ Test Plan ]
On an Ubuntu VM, check that net.core.default_qdisc is set to 'fq_codel'. `tc
qdisc show` should also confirm fq_codel is being used.
halves@noble-vm:~$ sysctl net.core.default_qdisc
net.core.default_qdisc = fq_codel
halves@noble-vm:~$ tc qdisc show
qdisc noqueue 0: dev lo root refcnt 2
qdisc mq 0: dev enp5s0 root
qdisc fq_codel 0: dev enp5s0 parent :1 limit 10240p flows 1024 quantum 1514
target 5ms interval 100ms memory_limit 32Mb ecn drop_batch 64
[ Where Problems Could Occur ]
Users relying on the default pfifo_fast qdisc could see different networking
behavior.
[ Other Info ]
Instead of adding a sysctl.conf file, Debian has decided to change their
default kernel configs to use fq_codel. This has the disadvantage of being
"hidden" from end users, instead of being a queryable setting in e.g.
/etc/sysctl.d/, and all kernel documentation still refers to pfifo_fast as
being the default.
Systemd's /usr/lib/50-default.conf file includes a lot of other
settings that are either overruled elsewhere (e.g. from procps) or are
entirely missing from our stable releases. Introducing a diff from
Debian to ship this file only for the net.core.default_qdisc changes
seems excessive, so having a dedicated place under procps where other
similar toggles are already present seems like the more appropriate
solution.

[ Original Description ]
fq_codel has been the default in ubuntu since #1436945
It is also now the default in debian. Somewhere between 22.04 and
22.10 though, it stopped being enabled by systemd? (it used to be
enabled there via a sysctl), and thus 22.10 (I tried both ubuntu
server and ubuntu studio) doesn't have it on. I rather *immediately*
noticed this huge regression (I run my ethernet at 100Mbit, and thus
immediately saw 400+ms latency) - and I hope it can be fixed in the
next release?
it can also be made the default via compiling it into the kernel as a
kernel default.
Aggh! death to fifos!
