[Cerowrt-devel] next round of SQM changes

[Cerowrt-devel] next round of SQM changes

[Sebastian Moeller]

Hi List,

I am again in need of testers for SQM. So far SQM tried to deduce from /etc/config/sqm which interfaces it potentially needed to stop itself on, which did not work very reliably, since it is easy to just change the interface name in an existing config file and all traces of the interface on which SQM was started originally disappear. So instead now, SQM will stop itself on all interfaces it currently runs on, and then will only start itself on those interfaces that are actually configured and enabled in the GUI/UCI file. That hopefully gets rid of the spurious leftover HTBs and IFBs that some users had noticed.
	I would be great if anybody experiences problems with the new code to holler so I can go fix things up…

Best Regards
	Sebastian

Sure, what's needed to get the testable bits onto a 3.10.50-1 box?

The attached archaic contains all SQM related files that I changed compared to stock cerowrt 3.10.50-1. So all that should be required is to replace the files in /usr with the files from the archive. The change in /usr/lib/lua just exposes more interfaces to the GUI (and I am not yet sure whether that is a sane idea or not). The changes in /usr/lib/sqm implement the changes: more robots tear down of active SQM instances, and a switch from indexes IFB devices ala ifb0 to names fib devices ala ifb4ge00 to sanitize IFB handling somewhat. Hopefully these last changes make cerowrt way more robust against accidental left over shaping instances.
	Thanks for volunteering to test…

Best Regards
	Sebastian
