QFQ+ can select for service only 'eligible' aggregates, i.e.,
aggregates that would have started to be served also in the emulated
ideal system. As a consequence, for QFQ+ to be work conserving, at
least one of the active aggregates must be eligible when it is time to
choose the next aggregate to serve.
The set of eligible aggregates is updated through the function
qfq_update_eligible(), which does guarantee that, after its
invocation, at least one of the active aggregates is eligible.
Because of this property, this function is invoked in
qfq_deactivate_agg() to guarantee that at least one of the active
aggregates is still eligible after an aggregate has been deactivated.
In particular, the critical case is when there are other active
aggregates, but the aggregate being deactivated happens to be the only
one eligible.
However, this precaution is not needed for QFQ+ to be work conserving,
because update_eligible() is always invoked also at the beginning of
qfq_choose_next_agg(). This patch removes the additional invocation of
update_eligible() in qfq_deactivate_agg().

By definition of (the algorithm of) QFQ+, the system virtual time must
be pushed up only if there is no 'eligible' aggregate, i.e. no
aggregate that would have started to be served also in the ideal
system emulated by QFQ+. QFQ+ serves only eligible aggregates, hence
the aggregate currently in service is eligible. As a consequence, to
decide whether there is no eligible aggregate, QFQ+ must also check
whether there is no aggregate in service.

Aggregate budgets are computed so as to guarantee that, after an
aggregate has been selected for service, that aggregate has enough
budget to serve at least one maximum-size packet for the classes it
contains. For this reason, after a new aggregate has been selected
for service, its next packet is immediately dequeued, without any
further control.
The maximum packet size for a class, lmax, can be changed through
qfq_change_class(). In case the user sets lmax to a lower value than
the the size of some of the still-to-arrive packets, QFQ+ will
automatically push up lmax as it enqueues these packets. This
automatic push up is likely to happen with TSO/GSO.
In any case, if lmax is assigned a lower value than the size of some
of the packets already enqueued for the class, then the following
problem may occur: the size of the next packet to dequeue for the
class may happen to be larger than lmax, after the aggregate to which
the class belongs has been just selected for service. In this case,
even the budget of the aggregate, which is an unsigned value, may be
lower than the size of the next packet to dequeue. After dequeueing
this packet and subtracting its size from the budget, the latter would
wrap around.
This fix prevents the budget from wrapping around after any packet
dequeue.

If no aggregate is in service, then the function qfq_dequeue() does
not dequeue any packet. For this reason, to guarantee QFQ+ to be work
conserving, a just-activated aggregate must be set as in service
immediately if it happens to be the only active aggregate.
This is done by the function qfq_enqueue().
Unfortunately, the function qfq_add_to_agg(), used to add a class to
an aggregate, does not perform this important additional operation.
In particular, if: 1) qfq_add_to_agg() is invoked to complete the move
of a class from a source aggregate, becoming, for this move, inactive,
to a destination aggregate, becoming instead active, and 2) the
destination aggregate becomes the only active aggregate, then this
aggregate is not however set as in service. QFQ+ remains then in a
non-work-conserving state until a new invocation of qfq_enqueue()
recovers the situation.
This fix solves the problem by moving the logic for setting an
aggregate as in service directly into the function qfq_activate_agg().
Hence, from whatever point qfq_activate_aggregate() is invoked, QFQ+
remains work conserving. Since the more-complex logic of this new
version of activate_aggregate() is not necessary, in qfq_dequeue(), to
reschedule an aggregate that finishes its budget, then the aggregate
is now rescheduled by invoking directly the functions needed.

Between two invocations of make_eligible, the system virtual time may
happen to grow enough that, in its binary representation, a bit with
higher order than 31 flips. This happens especially with
TSO/GSO. Before this fix, the mask used in make_eligible was computed
as (1UL<<index_of_last_flipped_bit)-1, whose value is well defined on
a 64-bit architecture, because index_of_flipped_bit <= 63, but is in
general undefined on a 32-bit architecture if index_of_flipped_bit > 31.

QFQ+ schedules the active aggregates in a group using a bucket list
(one list per group). The bucket in which each aggregate is inserted
depends on the aggregate's timestamps, and the number
of buckets in a group is enough to accomodate the possible (range of)
values of the timestamps of all the aggregates in the group. For this
property to hold, timestamps must however be computed correctly. One
necessary condition for computing timestamps correctly is that the
number of bits dequeued for each aggregate, while the aggregate is in
service, does not exceed the maximum budget budgetmax assigned to the
aggregate.
For each aggregate, budgetmax is proportional to the number of classes
in the aggregate. If the number of classes of the aggregate is
decreased through qfq_change_class(), then budgetmax is decreased
automatically as well. Problems may occur if the aggregate is in
service when budgetmax is decreased, because the current remaining
budget of the aggregate and/or the service already received by the
aggregate may happen to be larger than the new value of budgetmax. In
this case, when the aggregate is eventually deselected and its
timestamps are updated, the aggregate may happen to have received an
amount of service larger than budgetmax. This may cause the aggregate
to be assigned a higher virtual finish time than the maximum
acceptable value for the last bucket in the bucket list of the group.
This fix introduces a cap that addresses this issue.

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

This patch turns QFQ into QFQ+, a variant of QFQ that provides the
following two benefits: 1) QFQ+ is faster than QFQ, 2) differently
from QFQ, QFQ+ correctly schedules also non-leaves classes in a
hierarchical setting. A detailed description of QFQ+, plus a
performance comparison with DRR and QFQ, can be found in [1].

If the max packet size for some class (configured through tc) is
violated by the actual size of the packets of that class, then QFQ
would not schedule classes correctly, and the data structures
implementing the bucket lists may get corrupted. This problem occurs
with TSO/GSO even if the max packet size is set to the MTU, and is,
e.g., the cause of the failure reported in [1]. Two patches have been
proposed to solve this problem in [2], one of them is a preliminary
version of this patch.
This patch addresses the above issues by: 1) setting QFQ parameters to
proper values for supporting TSO/GSO (in particular, setting the
maximum possible packet size to 64KB), 2) automatically increasing the
max packet size for a class, lmax, when a packet with a larger size
than the current value of lmax arrives.
The drawback of the first point is that the maximum weight for a class
is now limited to 4096, which is equal to 1/16 of the maximum weight
sum.
Finally, this patch also forcibly caps the timestamps of a class if
they are too high to be stored in the bucket list. This capping, taken
from QFQ+ [3], handles the unfrequent case described in the comment to
the function slot_insert.

If the old timestamps of a class, say cl, are stale when the class
becomes active, then QFQ may assign to cl a much higher start time
than the maximum value allowed. This may happen when QFQ assigns to
the start time of cl the finish time of a group whose classes are
characterized by a higher value of the ratio
max_class_pkt/weight_of_the_class with respect to that of
cl. Inserting a class with a too high start time into the bucket list
corrupts the data structure and may eventually lead to crashes.
This patch limits the maximum start time assigned to a class.

[Resending again, as the text was corrupted by the email client]
To speed up operations, QFQ internally divides classes into
groups. Which group a class belongs to depends on the ratio between
the maximum packet length and the weight of the class. Unfortunately
the function qfq_change_class lacks the steps for changing the group
of a class when the ratio max_pkt_len/weight of the class changes.
For example, when the last of the following three commands is
executed, the group of class 1:1 is not correctly changed:
tc disc add dev XXX root handle 1: qfq
tc class add dev XXX parent 1: qfq classid 1:1 weight 1
tc class change dev XXX parent 1: classid 1:1 qfq weight 4
Not changing the group of a class does not affect the long-term
bandwidth guaranteed to the class, as the latter is independent of the
maximum packet length, and correctly changes (only) if the weight of
the class changes. In contrast, if the group of the class is not
updated, the class is still guaranteed the short-term bandwidth and
packet delay related to its old group, instead of the guarantees that
it should receive according to its new weight and/or maximum packet
length. This may also break service guarantees for other classes.
This patch adds the missing operations.
