With netem reordering, a gap of N is supposed to reorder every Nth packet with
given reorder probability. However, the code currently skips N packets and
reorders every (N+1)th packet.

Adds an optional Random Early Detection on each SFQ flow queue.
Traditional SFQ limits count of packets, while RED permits to also
control number of bytes per flow, and adds ECN capability as well.
1) We dont handle the idle time management in this RED implementation,
since each 'new flow' begins with a null qavg. We really want to address
backlogged flows.
2) if headdrop is selected, we try to ecn mark first packet instead of
currently enqueued packet. This gives faster feedback for tcp flows
compared to traditional RED [ marking the last packet in queue ]
Example of use :
tc qdisc add dev $DEV parent 1:1 handle 10: est 1sec 4sec sfq \
limit 3000 headdrop flows 512 divisor 16384 \
redflowlimit 100000 min 8000 max 60000 probability 0.20 ecn
qdisc sfq 10: parent 1:1 limit 3000p quantum 1514b depth 127 headdrop
flows 512/16384 divisor 16384
ewma 6 min 8000b max 60000b probability 0.2 ecn

In this test, with 64 netperf TCP_STREAM sessions, 50% using ECN enabled
flows, we can see number of packets CE marked is smaller than number of
drops (for non ECN flows)
If same test is run, without RED, we can check backlog is much bigger.

This patch splits the red_parms structure into two components.
One holding the RED 'constant' parameters, and one containing the
variables.
This permits a size reduction of GRED qdisc, and is a preliminary step
to add an optional RED unit to SFQ.
SFQRED will have a single red_parms structure shared by all flows, and a
private red_vars per flow.

SFQ as implemented in Linux is very limited, with at most 127 flows
and limit of 127 packets. [ So if 127 flows are active, we have one
packet per flow ]
This patch brings to SFQ following features to cope with modern needs.
- Ability to specify a smaller per flow limit of inflight packets.
(default value being at 127 packets)
- Ability to have up to 65408 active flows (instead of 127)
- Ability to have head drops instead of tail drops
(to drop old packets from a flow)
Example of use : No more than 20 packets per flow, max 8000 flows, max
20000 packets in SFQ qdisc, hash table of 65536 slots.
tc qdisc add ... sfq \
flows 8000 \
depth 20 \
headdrop \
limit 20000 \
divisor 65536
Ram usage :
2 bytes per hash table entry (instead of previous 1 byte/entry)
32 bytes per flow on 64bit arches, instead of 384 for QFQ, so much
better cache hit ratio.

SFQ q->perturbation is used in sfq_hash() as an input to Jenkins hash.
We currently randomize this 32bit value only if a perturbation timer is

Its much better to always initialize it to defeat attackers, or else

SFQ enqueue algo puts a new flow _behind_ all pre-existing flows in the
circular list. In fact this is probably an old SFQ implementation bug.
100 Mbits = ~8333 full frames per second, or ~8 frames per ms.
With 50 flows, it means your "new flow" will have to wait 50 packets
being sent before its own packet. Thats the ~6ms.
We certainly can change SFQ to give a priority advantage to new flows,
so that next dequeued packet is taken from a new flow, not an old one.

Commit 10f6dfcfde (Revert "sch_netem: Remove classful functionality")
reintroduced classful functionality to netem, but broke basic netem
behavior :
netem uses an t(ime)fifo queue, and store timestamps in skb->cb[]
If qdisc is changed, time constraints are not respected and other qdisc
can destroy skb->cb[] and block netem at dequeue time.
Fix this by always using internal tfifo, and optionally attach a child
qdisc to netem (or a tree of qdiscs)
Example of use :
DEV=eth3
tc qdisc del dev $DEV root
tc qdisc add dev $DEV root handle 30: est 1sec 8sec netem delay 20ms 10ms
tc qdisc add dev $DEV handle 40:0 parent 30:0 tbf \

A known Out Of Order (OOO) problem hurts SFQ when timer changes
perturbation value, since all new packets delivered to SFQ enqueue might
end on different slots than previous in-flight packets.
With round robin delivery, we can thus deliver packets in a different
order.
Since SFQ is limited to small amount of in-flight packets, we can rehash
packets so that this OOO problem is fixed.
This rehashing is performed only if internal flow classifier is in use.
We now store in skb->cb[] the "struct flow_keys" so that we dont call
skb_flow_dissect() again while rehashing.

This extension can be used to simulate special link layer
characteristics. Simulate because packet data is not modified, only the
calculation base is changed to delay a packet based on the original
packet size and artificial cell information.
packet_overhead can be used to simulate a link layer header compression
scheme (e.g. set packet_overhead to -20) or with a positive
packet_overhead value an additional MAC header can be simulated. It is
also possible to "replace" the 14 byte Ethernet header with something
else.
cell_size and cell_overhead can be used to simulate link layer schemes,
based on cells, like some TDMA schemes. Another application area are MAC
schemes using a link layer fragmentation with a (small) header each.
Cell size is the maximum amount of data bytes within one cell. Cell
overhead is an additional variable to change the per-cell-overhead
(e.g. 5 byte header per fragment).
Example (5 kbit/s, 20 byte per packet overhead, cell-size 100 byte, per
cell overhead 5 byte):
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem rate 5kbit 20 100 5
