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).

As a nice side effect we can now use kfree_rcu().

Rick Jones reported that TCP_CONGESTION sockopt performed on a listener
was ignored for its children sockets : right after accept() the
congestion control for new socket is the system default one.
This seems an oversight of the initial design (quoted from Stephen)
Based on prior investigation and patch from Rick.

When notify=1 means we does not need to unregister the device,

tcp_sendmsg() uses select_size() helper to choose skb head size when a
new skb must be allocated.
If GSO is enabled for the socket, current strategy is to force all
payload data to be outside of headroom, in PAGE fragments.
This strategy is not welcome for small packets, wasting memory.
Experiments show that best results are obtained when using 2048 bytes
for skb head (This includes the skb overhead and various headers)
This patch provides better len/truesize ratios for packets sent to
loopback device, and reduce memory needs for in-flight loopback packets,
particularly on arches with big pages.
If a sender sends many 1-byte packets to an unresponsive application,
receiver rmem_alloc will grow faster and will stop queuing these packets
sooner, or will collapse its receive queue to free excess memory.
netperf -t TCP_RR results are improved by ~4 %, and many workloads are
improved as well (tbench, mysql...)

Thanks David !
Here is a small patch to use one 64bit load/store on x86_64 instead of
two 32bit load/stores.
[PATCH net-next] flow_dissector: use a 64bit load/store
gcc compiler is smart enough to use a single load/store if we
memcpy(dptr, sptr, 8) on x86_64, regardless of
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
In IP header, daddr immediately follows saddr, this wont change in the
future. We only need to make sure our flow_keys (src,dst) fields wont
break the rule.

Networking stack support for byte queue limits, uses dynamic queue
limits library. Byte queue limits are maintained per transmit queue,
and a dql structure has been added to netdev_queue structure for this
purpose.
Configuration of bql is in the tx-<n> sysfs directory for the queue
under the byte_queue_limits directory. Configuration includes:
limit_min, bql minimum limit
limit_max, bql maximum limit
hold_time, bql slack hold time
Also under the directory are:
limit, current byte limit
inflight, current number of bytes on the queue

Since 2005 (c1b4a7e695)
tcp_tso_should_defer has been using tcp_max_burst() as a target limit
for deciding how large to make outgoing TSO packets when not using
sysctl_tcp_tso_win_divisor. But since 2008
(dd9e0dda66) tcp_max_burst() returns the
reordering degree. We should not have tcp_tso_should_defer attempt to
build larger segments just because there is more reordering. This
commit splits the notion of deferral size used in TSO from the notion
of burst size used in cwnd moderation, and returns the TSO deferral
limit to its original value.
