A simple "instantaneous" plug/unplug operation, by issuing an alternating * sequence of TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER & TCQ_PLUG_RELEASE_INDEFINITE commands. * * 2. For network output buffering (a.k.a output commit) functionality. * Output commit property is commonly used by applications using checkpoint * based fault-tolerance to ensure that the checkpoint from which a system * is being restored is consistent w.r.t outside world. * * Consider for e.g. Remus - a Virtual Machine checkpointing system, * wherein a VM is checkpointed, say every 50ms. The checkpoint is replicated * asynchronously to the backup host, while the VM continues executing the * next epoch speculatively. * * The following is a typical sequence of output buffer operations: * 1.At epoch i, start_buffer(i) * 2. At end of epoch i (i.e. after 50ms): * 2.1 Stop VM and take checkpoint(i). * 2.2 start_buffer(i+1) and Resume VM * 3. While speculatively executing epoch(i+1), asynchronously replicate * checkpoint(i) to backup host. * 4. When checkpoint_ack(i) is received from backup, release_buffer(i) * Thus, this Qdisc would receive the following sequence of commands: * TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER (epoch i) * .. TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER (epoch i+1) * ....TCQ_PLUG_RELEASE_ONE (epoch i) * ......TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER (epoch i+2) * ........ * * * State of the queue, when used for network output buffering: * * plug(i+1) plug(i) head * ------------------+--------------------+----------------> * | | * | | * pkts_current_epoch| pkts_last_epoch |pkts_to_release * ----------------->|<--------+--------->|+---------------> * v v * * * @{ */ #include <netlink-private/netlink.h> #include <netlink-private/tc.h> #include <netlink/netlink.h> #include <netlink/utils.h> #include <netlink-private/route/tc-api.h> #include <netlink/route/qdisc/plug.h> static int plug_msg_fill(struct rtnl_tc *tc, void *data, struct nl_msg *msg) { struct rtnl_plug *plug = data; struct tc_plug_qopt opts; if (!plug) return -NLE_INVAL; opts.action = plug->action; opts.limit = plug->limit; return nlmsg_append(msg, &opts, sizeof(opts), NL_DONTPAD); } /** * @name Attribute Modification * @{ */ /** * Insert a plug into the qdisc and buffer any incoming * network traffic. * @arg qdisc PLUG qdisc to be modified. */ int rtnl_qdisc_plug_buffer(struct rtnl_qdisc *qdisc) { struct rtnl_plug *plug; if (!(plug = rtnl_tc_data(TC_CAST(qdisc)))) return -NLE_NOMEM; plug->action = TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER; return 0; } /** * Unplug the qdisc, releasing packets from queue head * to the last complete buffer, while new traffic * continues to be buffered. * @arg qdisc PLUG qdisc to be modified. */ int rtnl_qdisc_plug_release_one(struct rtnl_qdisc *qdisc) { struct rtnl_plug *plug; if (!(plug = rtnl_tc_data(TC_CAST(qdisc)))) return -NLE_NOMEM; plug->action = TCQ_PLUG_RELEASE_ONE; return 0; } /** * Indefinitely unplug the qdisc, releasing all packets. * Network traffic will not be buffered until the next * buffer command is issued. * @arg qdisc PLUG qdisc to be modified. */ int rtnl_qdisc_plug_release_indefinite(struct rtnl_qdisc *qdisc) { struct rtnl_plug *plug; if (!(plug = rtnl_tc_data(TC_CAST(qdisc)))) return -NLE_NOMEM; plug->action = TCQ_PLUG_RELEASE_INDEFINITE; return 0; } /** * Set limit of PLUG qdisc. * @arg qdisc PLUG qdisc to be modified. * @arg limit New limit. * @return 0 on success or a negative error code. */ int rtnl_qdisc_plug_set_limit(struct rtnl_qdisc *qdisc, int limit) { struct rtnl_plug *plug; if (!(plug = rtnl_tc_data(TC_CAST(qdisc)))) return -NLE_NOMEM; plug->action = TCQ_PLUG_LIMIT; plug->limit = limit; return 0; } /** @} */ static struct rtnl_tc_ops plug_ops = { .to_kind = "plug", .to_type = RTNL_TC_TYPE_QDISC, .to_size = sizeof(struct rtnl_plug), .to_msg_fill = plug_msg_fill, }; static void __init plug_init(void) { rtnl_tc_register(&plug_ops); } static void __exit plug_exit(void) { rtnl_tc_unregister(&plug_ops); } /** @} */
