netem does an early orphaning of skbs. Doing so breaks TCP Small Queue
or any mechanism relying on socket sk_wmem_alloc feedback.
Ideally, we should perform this orphaning after the rate module and
before the delay module, to mimic what happens on a real link :
skb orphaning is indeed normally done at TX completion, before the
transit on the link.
+-------+ +--------+ +---------------+ +-----------------+
+ Qdisc +---> Device +--> TX completion +--> links / hops +->
+ + + xmit + + skb orphaning + + propagation +
+-------+ +--------+ +---------------+ +-----------------+
< rate limiting > < delay, drops, reorders >
If netem is used without delay feature (drops, reorders, rate
limiting), then we should avoid early skb orphaning, to keep pressure
on sockets as long as packets are still in qdisc queue.
Ideally, netem should be refactored to implement delay module
as the last stage. Current algorithm merges the two phases
(rate limiting + delay) so its not correct.

Fix two netem bugs :
1) When a frame was dropped by tfifo_enqueue(), drop counter
was incremented twice.
2) When reordering is triggered, we enqueue a packet without
checking queue limit. This can OOM pretty fast when this
is repeated enough, since skbs are orphaned, no socket limit
can help in this situation.

Commit 10f6dfcfde (Revert "sch_netem: Remove classful functionality")
reintroduced classful functionality to netem, but broke basic netem
behavior :
netem uses an t(ime)fifo queue, and store timestamps in skb->cb[]
If qdisc is changed, time constraints are not respected and other qdisc
can destroy skb->cb[] and block netem at dequeue time.
Fix this by always using internal tfifo, and optionally attach a child
qdisc to netem (or a tree of qdiscs)
Example of use :
DEV=eth3
tc qdisc del dev $DEV root
tc qdisc add dev $DEV root handle 30: est 1sec 8sec netem delay 20ms 10ms
tc qdisc add dev $DEV handle 40:0 parent 30:0 tbf \

This extension can be used to simulate special link layer
characteristics. Simulate because packet data is not modified, only the
calculation base is changed to delay a packet based on the original
packet size and artificial cell information.
packet_overhead can be used to simulate a link layer header compression
scheme (e.g. set packet_overhead to -20) or with a positive
packet_overhead value an additional MAC header can be simulated. It is
also possible to "replace" the 14 byte Ethernet header with something
else.
cell_size and cell_overhead can be used to simulate link layer schemes,
based on cells, like some TDMA schemes. Another application area are MAC
schemes using a link layer fragmentation with a (small) header each.
Cell size is the maximum amount of data bytes within one cell. Cell
overhead is an additional variable to change the per-cell-overhead
(e.g. 5 byte header per fragment).
Example (5 kbit/s, 20 byte per packet overhead, cell-size 100 byte, per
cell overhead 5 byte):
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem rate 5kbit 20 100 5

Currently netem is not in the ability to emulate channel bandwidth. Only static
delay (and optional random jitter) can be configured.
To emulate the channel rate the token bucket filter (sch_tbf) can be used. But
TBF has some major emulation flaws. The buffer (token bucket depth/rate) cannot
be 0. Also the idea behind TBF is that the credit (token in buckets) fills if
no packet is transmitted. So that there is always a "positive" credit for new
packets. In real life this behavior contradicts the law of nature where
nothing can travel faster as speed of light. E.g.: on an emulated 1000 byte/s
link a small IPv4/TCP SYN packet with ~50 byte require ~0.05 seconds - not 0
seconds.
Netem is an excellent place to implement a rate limiting feature: static
delay is already implemented, tfifo already has time information and the
user can skip TBF configuration completely.
This patch implement rate feature which can be configured via tc. e.g:
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem rate 10kbit
To emulate a link of 5000byte/s and add an additional static delay of 10ms:
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 10ms rate 5KBps
Note: similar to TBF the rate extension is bounded to the kernel timing
system. Depending on the architecture timer granularity, higher rates (e.g.
10mbit/s and higher) tend to transmission bursts. Also note: further queues
living in network adaptors; see ethtool(8).

Several qdiscs (CHOKe, SFQ, pfifo_head, ...) are able to drop a

bstats/rates are not accurate (over estimated)
This patch changes the qdisc_bstats updates to be done at dequeue() time

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Alex Sidorenko reported:
"while experimenting with 'netem' we have found some strange behaviour. It
seemed that ingress delay as measured by 'ping' command shows up on some
hosts but not on others.
After some investigation I have found that the problem is that skbuff->tstamp
field value depends on whether there are any packet sniffers enabled. That
is:
- if any ptype_all handler is registered, the tstamp field is as expected
- if there are no ptype_all handlers, the tstamp field does not show the delay"
This patch prevents unnecessary update of tstamp in dev_queue_xmit_nit()
on ingress path (with act_mirred) adding a check, so minimal overhead on
the fast path, but only when sniffers etc. are active.
Since netem at ingress seems to logically emulate a network before a host,
tstamp is zeroed to trigger the update and pretend delays are from the
outside.

This means we need a new NET_XMIT return value to indicate this to

return that to upper qdiscs and translate it to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS

So you could say "NET_XMIT_DROP | __NET_XMIT_NO_DROP_COUNT"
The attributes get masked out by the top-level ->enqueue() caller,
