[PATCH net-next v8 0/3] net/sched: sch_fq_pie: add per-flow class statistics

[Hemendra M. Naik]

FQ-PIE runs an independent PIE controller per flow but exposes no
per-flow statistics. This series wires up fq_pie_class_ops to expose
per-flow AQM state (prob, delay, deficit, avg_dq_rate) via
'tc -s class show', following a similar pattern as FQ-CoDel.

This patch series is accompanied by a companion iproute2 patch series that
will be posted on net-next as well.

Both the kernel and iproute2 patches can also be found in GitHub:
- https://github.com/H-N41K/linux-net-next/tree/fq_pie_class_stats/
- https://github.com/H-N41K/iproute2-next/tree/fq_pie_class_stats

Changelog:
v8:
- No code changes since v7.
- Reword commit message to reflect usage of div_u64().

v7: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260919060125.38063-1-hemendranaik@gmail.com/
- No code changes since v6.
- Rebased over the latest net-next tree and re-submitted patch.

v6: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260917204225.275251-1-hemendranaik@gmail.com/
- Address Sashiko review comments:
  - Revert the fq_pie flows range to [1..65536]. 
  - Also drop the accompanying selftest 83be change.
  - Compute the per-flow delay with div_u64() on the full 64-bit
    nanosecond value.
  - Widen avg_dq_rate to u64 before scaling it by PSCHED_TICKS_PER_SEC.
  - Document the 36 to 64 byte xstats growth in the patch 1 commit message.
  - Fix selftest 83c0. The ping payload exceeded the TBF burst so no
    packet ever reached fq_pie, and the missing -W left the run waiting
    out ping's default timeout.

v5: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260902035231.81866-1-hemendranaik@gmail.com/
- Addressed Sashiko review comments:
 - Omitted .tcf_block / .bind_tcf / .unbind_tcf from cl_ops (statistics
   only being exported; filter attach to fq_pie is now disabled).
 - Dropped empty tc_fq_pie_xqd_stats placeholder; class_stats is a direct
   struct member.
 - Limited flows to [1..65535] so per-flow class handles fit in a 16-bit
   TC minor.
 - Rewrote selftest 83c0 with TBF + fq_pie, ping traffic, and
   matchCount 1 on per-flow stats output.
 - Updated selftest 83be for the new flows limit.
 - Dropped the tools/include UAPI mirror changes from patch 3/3.

- No changes since v2.
- Resent after the previous submission was deferred due to the
  net-next tree closing during review.
- Updated corresponding iproute2 patch in response to review comments;

[PATCH net-next v8 1/3] net/sched: sch_fq_pie: add per-flow statistics via class ops

[Hemendra M. Naik]

FQ-PIE schedules independent PIE controllers per flow but exposes no
per-flow AQM state. Without class-level statistics there is no way to
observe the per-flow drop probability, queue delay, deficit or dequeue
rate from userspace.

Extend tc_fq_pie_xstats with a type discriminator and tc_fq_pie_cl_stats
for per-flow metrics. The nine existing __u32 counters keep their
offsets, type is appended at offset 36 and class_stats follows it,
growing the structure from 36 to 64 bytes.

Wire up fq_pie_class_ops with walk, dump, and dump_stats only so that
'tc -s class show' reports per-flow state (prob, delay, deficit,
avg_dq_rate, dq_rate_estimating). Filter attachment callbacks
(.tcf_block, .bind_tcf, .unbind_tcf) are omitted on purpose.

Derive delay with div_u64() from the full 64-bit nanosecond. 
Widen avg_dq_rate to u64 before scaling it by PSCHED_TICKS_PER_SEC.

net/sched: sch_fq_pie: add per-flow statistics via class ops

This commit adds a type discriminator and an embedded struct
tc_fq_pie_cl_stats to struct tc_fq_pie_xstats. The struct grows from 36 to
64 bytes. It also adds a minimal Qdisc_class_ops table to fq_pie so that
each active flow is reported as a pseudo-class with its per-flow PIE state.

[Severity: Low]
Should Documentation/netlink/specs/tc.yaml be updated along with this?

In the spec, tc-fq-pie-xstats still lists only the nine original u32
members. The tca-stats-app-msg sub-message still binds fq_pie to it:

      -
        value: fq_pie
        fixed-header: tc-fq-pie-xstats

The spec has no type member, no class-stats member, no tc-fq-pie-cl-stats
struct and no enum for TCA_FQ_PIE_XSTATS_QDISC/CLASS.

A spec-driven (YNL) decoder will only decode the first 36 bytes of the new
64-byte payload. It cannot tell class records from qdisc records, and it
never shows prob, delay, deficit, avg_dq_rate or dq_rate_estimating.

tc.yaml is still unchanged at the end of the series (after "net/sched: pie:
correct tc_pie_xstats field documentation").

[Severity: Medium]
Will this layout limit how both views can be extended later?

type sits at offset 36 and class_stats at offset 40, so the struct is 64
bytes. Once this is released:

  - a new qdisc-level counter can only be appended after class_stats
  - after that, struct tc_fq_pie_cl_stats can never grow again

Every message also carries both views. fq_pie_dump_stats() sends 24 zero
bytes of class stats, and fq_pie_dump_class_stats() sends nine zeroed qdisc
counters.

The sibling struct in the same header avoids this with a union:

struct tc_fq_codel_xstats {
	__u32	type;
	union {
		struct tc_fq_codel_qd_stats qdisc_stats;
		struct tc_fq_codel_cl_stats class_stats;
	};
};

Keeping the existing offsets means type cannot go first here. Would a union
after the discriminator still let the two views grow independently?

	__u32 type;
	union {
		struct tc_fq_pie_cl_stats class_stats;
		/* future qdisc extension */
	};

The commit message gives the new size and offsets but does not mention this
constraint.

[Severity: Low]
fq_pie_walk() lists a class <major>:<i+1> for every active flow, but
fq_pie_find() always returns 0. Is it intended that a class shown by
'tc class show' gets -ENOENT from a targeted RTM_GETTCLASS, such as
'tc class get dev X classid <major>:N' going through __tc_ctl_tclass()?

fq_codel_find(), sfq_find() and cake_find() also return 0 for their
pseudo-classes. A non-zero return would also send qdisc_leaf() and the
RTM_DELTCLASS paths into ops that fq_pie does not implement. So this may
well be the intended convention. It does mean per-flow stats can only be
read through a full dump.

[Severity: Low]
Can the last flow be reported under the qdisc's own handle?

fq_pie_change() accepts up to 65536 flows:

	if (!q->flows_cnt || q->flows_cnt > 65536) {

fq_pie_walk() passes i + 1 as the class id. With flows_cnt == 65536, the
flow at index 65535 is dumped with cl == 65536. TC_H_MIN() masks that to
minor 0, which gives a handle of <major>:0, the same as the qdisc itself.

fq_pie_dump_class_stats() still uses the unmasked cl, so the stats are
correct but userspace sees them under the qdisc handle.

fq_codel has the same latent issue. This patch brings it into fq_pie.

[Severity: Low]
The commit message says the class ops are wired up:

  so that 'tc -s class show' reports per-flow state (prob, delay, deficit,
  avg_dq_rate, dq_rate_estimating).

Does that hold with an existing tc binary?

Here the nine qdisc counters are zeroed and the per-flow data is in
class_stats at offset 40. A tc that predates the type field treats every
fq_pie xstats blob as qdisc stats. It would likely print a row of zero qdisc
counters for each active flow class and none of the per-flow values. Before
this patch fq_pie had no cl_ops, so 'tc class show' printed nothing for it.

The companion iproute2 change is only mentioned in the follow-up commit
"selftests: tc-testing: add fq_pie per-flow class stats test" ("printed
with the companion iproute2 change"). Could this commit mention it as well?

[Severity: Medium]
Does this silently truncate the rate?

The product is computed in 64 bits and then assigned to the __u32
tc_fq_pie_cl_stats.avg_dq_rate, so the high bits are lost.

pie_vars.avg_dq_rate holds bytes per psched tick scaled by 2^8.
pie_process_dequeue() fills it from (dq_count << PIE_SCALE) / dtime, and
dtime can be only a few ticks during back-to-back GSO dequeues.

PSCHED_TICKS_PER_SEC is 15625000 and PIE_SCALE is 8. Any internal value
above about 70369 (roughly 4.29e9 B/s, about 34.4 Gbit/s) wraps. For
example, 81920 converts to 5,000,000,000 B/s but is exported as 705,032,704.

The commit message says:

  Widen avg_dq_rate to u64 before scaling it by PSCHED_TICKS_PER_SEC.

That moves the overflow to the narrowing assignment instead of avoiding it.
This is a new uAPI field. Could it be made __u64, or saturated at U32_MAX,
before it is released?

[Severity: Low]
Are these lockless reads safe against the datapath writers?

tc_fill_tclass() passes a NULL lock to gnet_stats_start_copy_compat(), so
this function runs under RTNL only. Meanwhile enqueue, dequeue and
fq_pie_timer() update the same fields under the qdisc root lock on other
CPUs.

The writers of deficit, qlen and backlog use plain stores with no
WRITE_ONCE(). In fq_pie_qdisc_enqueue():

		if (list_empty(&sel_flow->flowchain)) {
			...
			sel_flow->deficit = q->quantum;
			sel_flow->qlen = 0;
			sel_flow->backlog = 0;
		}
		sel_flow->qlen++;
		sel_flow->backlog += pkt_len;

And in fq_pie_qdisc_dequeue():

	flow->qlen--;
	flow->deficit -= pkt_len;
	flow->backlog -= pkt_len;

KCSAN_ASSUME_PLAIN_WRITES_ATOMIC does not cover compound writes like these,
so KCSAN will likely report them. The reader can also see intermediate
values, such as qlen == 0 on a flow that was just activated. fq_codel
annotates the equivalent writers, for example WRITE_ONCE(flow->deficit,
...).

vars.prob and vars.qdelay are u64, so READ_ONCE() can tear on 32-bit
kernels.

pie_calculate_probability() also publishes an unclamped value before it
applies the overflow fix-up:

	WRITE_ONCE(vars->prob, vars->prob + delta);

	if (delta > 0) {
		/* prevent overflow */
		if (vars->prob < oldprob) {
			WRITE_ONCE(vars->prob, MAX_PROB);

A lockless reader here could therefore export a wrapped probability.

fq_pie_dump_stats() in the same file takes sch_tree_lock(). Should the
class dump take it too, or should the fq_pie writers be annotated?

Setting .cl_ops makes the TC core treat fq_pie as classful. Is the change
in user-visible errors intended?

Filter add on parent <fq_pie>: used to fail in __tcf_qdisc_find() with
-EINVAL "Qdisc not classful". It now reaches this check instead:

	if (!cops->tcf_block) {
		NL_SET_ERR_MSG(extack, "Class doesn't support blocks");
		err = -EOPNOTSUPP;
		goto errout_qdisc;
	}

Grafting or getting a child on parent <fq_pie>:N through qdisc_leaf() used
to return -EOPNOTSUPP "Parent qdisc is not classful". Because fq_pie_find()
always returns 0, it now returns -ENOENT "Specified class not found".

RTM_GETTCLASS and RTM_DELTCLASS in __tc_ctl_tclass() also change from
-EINVAL to -ENOENT.

fq_pie_init() still calls tcf_block_get(), and fq_pie_classify() still
reads q->filter_list and maps tcf results to flow ids 1..flows_cnt. That is
the class id space this patch exposes. With .tcf_block, .bind_tcf and
.unbind_tcf left out, the classifier path stays unreachable, as it was
before this patch.

The commit message says these callbacks are "omitted on purpose". Could it
give the reason and mention the errno changes?

[PATCH net-next v8 2/3] selftests: tc-testing: add fq_pie per-flow class stats test

[Hemendra M. Naik]

Add tc-testing case 83c0: build a TBF + fq_pie hierarchy on $DUMMY, push
traffic through it with ping, and verify that 'tc -s class show' reports
an fq_pie class.

The per-flow counters themselves (prob, delay, deficit) are printed with
the companion iproute2 change, "tc: fq_pie: add support for printing
per-flow PIE statistics"

selftests: tc-testing: add fq_pie per-flow class stats test

This adds tc-testing case 83c0. It builds a tbf + fq_pie hierarchy on
$DUMMY, pushes traffic through it with ping, and checks the output of
"tc -s class show" for an fq_pie class. The commit message says the
per-flow counters are printed by a companion iproute2 change.

[Severity: Low]
This is a robustness point, not a bug. fq_pie_walk() in
net/sched/sch_fq_pie.c only dumps flows that have a non-empty flowchain:

    if (list_empty(&q->flows[i].flowchain)) {
        arg->count++;
        continue;
    }

That makes this ping the only thing that gets class 2:1 into the output.

In the standard tdc setup this works. nsPlugin runs the command inside
the namespace, dummy is NOARP, and the 98-byte frame fits under tbf's
max_size of 100.

If ping is missing, or doesn't accept -i 0.001 / -W 0.01, the "|| true"
and the redirect hide the error. The test then fails as a regex mismatch
in the verify stage, not as a setup error.

Should this step be allowed to fail visibly? The same pattern is already
used elsewhere in tc-testing (infra/qdiscs.json), so it may be fine as is.

> +        "matchPattern": "class fq_pie 2:[0-9]+ .*prob .*delay .*deficit",

[Severity: Medium]
Will this test fail with any iproute2 release available today?

The kernel side, fq_pie_dump_class_stats(), only sends a binary struct
tc_fq_pie_xstats with type TCA_FQ_PIE_XSTATS_CLASS:

    xstats.type = TCA_FQ_PIE_XSTATS_CLASS;
    ...
    return gnet_stats_copy_app(d, &xstats, sizeof(xstats));

The words "prob", "delay" and "deficit" only appear if tc formats that
struct. According to the commit message, only the pending iproute2 patch
does that.

With a stock tc, re.findall() in run_one_test() in tdc.py finds 0
matches against a matchCount of 1. tdc then marks the test as failed,
even on a kernel where the fq_pie class stats work correctly.

tdc already has a way to skip in this case: the dependsOn key handled in
run_one_test(). Other tests use it to gate on newer iproute2 features.
For example, in actions/mirred.json:

    "dependsOn": "$TC actions add action mirred help 2>&1 | grep -q blockid",

Could 83c0 get a similar dependsOn probe, so that it skips instead of
failing when the tc in use can't print the per-flow stats?

The commit message also describes the test more narrowly than it
behaves:

    verify that 'tc -s class show' reports an fq_pie class.

The pattern needs the per-flow counters too, not just an fq_pie class.
Could the description say that the test depends on the iproute2 change?

[PATCH net-next v8 3/3] net/sched: pie: correct tc_pie_xstats field documentation

[Hemendra M. Naik]

The comments describing struct tc_pie_xstats do not match the values
exported by the kernel.

Update the delay field comment to microseconds (PSCHED_TICKS2NS() /
NSEC_PER_USEC). Update avg_dq_rate to bytes/second (avg_dq_rate *
PSCHED_TICKS_PER_SEC >> PIE_SCALE).

Documentation-only; no UAPI layout or runtime change. Touch
