By +default, only one traffic class is enabled and the lowest priority Tx queues +are used. Higher priority traffic classes can be enabled with the mqprio +qdisc. For example, all four traffic classes are enabled on an interface with +the following command. Furthermore, skb priority levels are mapped to traffic +classes as follows: + + * priorities 0 to 3 - traffic class 0 (low priority) + * priorities 4 to 7 - traffic class 1 (medium-low priority) + * priorities 8 to 11 - traffic class 2 (medium-high priority) + * priorities 12 to 15 - traffic class 3 (high priority) + +tc qdisc add dev <int> root handle 1: \ + mqprio num_tc 4 map 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 hw 1 + +Debugging +========= + +The following statistics are exported for each interface through ethtool: + + - interrupt count per CPU + - Rx packets count per CPU + - Tx packets count per CPU + - Tx confirmed packets count per CPU + - Tx S/G frames count per CPU + - Tx error count per CPU + - Rx error count per CPU + - Rx error count per type + - congestion related statistics: + - congestion status + - time spent in congestion + - number of time the device entered congestion + - dropped packets count per cause + +The driver also exports the following information in sysfs: + + - the FQ IDs for each FQ type + /sys/devices/platform/dpaa-ethernet.0/net/<int>/fqids + + - the IDs of the buffer pools in use + /sys/devices/platform/dpaa-ethernet.0/net/<int>/bpids diff --git a/Documentation/networking/tcp.txt b/Documentation/networking/tcp.txt index bdc4c0db51e1..9c7139d57e57 100644 --- a/Documentation/networking/tcp.txt +++ b/Documentation/networking/tcp.txt @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ TCP protocol ============ -Last updated: 9 February 2008 +Last updated: 3 June 2017 Contents ======== @@ -29,18 +29,19 @@ As of 2.6.13, Linux supports pluggable congestion control algorithms.
