net_sched: generalize bulk dequeue
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When qdisc bulk dequeue was added in linux-3.18 (commit
5772e9a "qdisc: bulk dequeue support for qdiscs
with TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE"), it was constrained to some
specific qdiscs.

With some extra care, we can extend this to all qdiscs,
so that typical traffic shaping solutions can benefit from
small batches (8 packets in this patch).

For example, HTB is often used on some multi queue device.
And bonding/team are multi queue devices...

Idea is to bulk-dequeue packets mapping to the same transmit queue.

This brings between 35 and 80 % performance increase in HTB setup
under pressure on a bonding setup :

1) NUMA node contention :   610,000 pps -> 1,110,000 pps
2) No node contention   : 1,380,000 pps -> 1,930,000 pps

Now we should work to add batches on the enqueue() side ;)
