Subject: [Make-wifi-fast] [PATCH 1/3] fq.h: Port memory limit mechanism from fq_codel
Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2016 21:59:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160923195911.4572-2-toke@toke.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160923195911.4572-1-toke@toke.dk>

The reusable fairness queueing implementation (fq.h) lacks the memory
usage limit that the fq_codel qdisc has. This means that small
devices (e.g. WiFi routers) can run out of memory when flooded with a
large number of packets. This ports the memory limit feature from
fq_codel to fq.h.
