Vladimir Oltean says: ==================== taprio automatic queueMaxSDU and new TXQ selection procedure This patch set addresses 2 design limitations in the taprio software scheduler: 1. Software scheduling fundamentally prioritizes traffic incorrectly, in a way which was inspired from Intel igb/igc drivers and does not follow the inputs user space gives (traffic classes and TC to TXQ mapping). Patch 05/15 handles this, 01/15 - 04/15 are preparations for this work. 2. Software scheduling assumes that the gate for a traffic class closes as soon as the next interval begins. But this isn't true. If consecutive schedule entries have that traffic class gate open, there is no "gate close" event and taprio should keep dequeuing from that TC without interruptions. Patches 06/15 - 15/15 handle this. Patch 10/15 is a generic Qdisc change required for this to work. Future development directions which depend on this patch set are: - Propagating the automatic queueMaxSDU calculation down to offloading device drivers, instead of letting them calculate this, as vsc9959_tas_guard_bands_update() does today. - A software data path for tc-taprio with preemptible traffic and Hold/Release events. v1 at: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/cover/20230128010719.2182346-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/ ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
