This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net_sched: restore "mpu xxx" handling to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net_sched-restore-mpu-xxx-handling.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From fb80445c438c78b40b547d12b8d56596ce4ccfeb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Bracey <kevin@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2022 19:02:10 +0200 Subject: net_sched: restore "mpu xxx" handling From: Kevin Bracey <kevin@xxxxxxxxx> commit fb80445c438c78b40b547d12b8d56596ce4ccfeb upstream. commit 56b765b79e9a ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates") broke "overhead X", "linklayer atm" and "mpu X" attributes. "overhead X" and "linklayer atm" have already been fixed. This restores the "mpu X" handling, as might be used by DOCSIS or Ethernet shaping: tc class add ... htb rate X overhead 4 mpu 64 The code being fixed is used by htb, tbf and act_police. Cake has its own mpu handling. qdisc_calculate_pkt_len still uses the size table containing values adjusted for mpu by user space. iproute2 tc has always passed mpu into the kernel via a tc_ratespec structure, but the kernel never directly acted on it, merely stored it so that it could be read back by `tc class show`. Rather, tc would generate length-to-time tables that included the mpu (and linklayer) in their construction, and the kernel used those tables. Since v3.7, the tables were no longer used. Along with "mpu", this also broke "overhead" and "linklayer" which were fixed in 01cb71d2d47b ("net_sched: restore "overhead xxx" handling", v3.10) and 8a8e3d84b171 ("net_sched: restore "linklayer atm" handling", v3.11). "overhead" was fixed by simply restoring use of tc_ratespec::overhead - this had originally been used by the kernel but was initially omitted from the new non-table-based calculations. "linklayer" had been handled in the table like "mpu", but the mode was not originally passed in tc_ratespec. The new implementation was made to handle it by getting new versions of tc to pass the mode in an extended tc_ratespec, and for older versions of tc the table contents were analysed at load time to deduce linklayer. As "mpu" has always been given to the kernel in tc_ratespec, accompanying the mpu-based table, we can restore system functionality with no userspace change by making the kernel act on the tc_ratespec value.
