      dccp: Policy-based packet dequeueing infrastructure · d6da3511
      Tomasz Grobelny authored
      This patch adds a generic infrastructure for policy-based dequeueing of 
      TX packets and provides two policies:
       * a simple FIFO policy (which is the default) and
       * a priority based policy (set via socket options).
      Both policies honour the tx_qlen sysctl for the maximum size of the write
      queue (can be overridden via socket options). 
      
      The priority policy uses skb->priority internally to assign an u32 priority
      identifier, using the same ranking as SO_PRIORITY. The skb->priority field
      is set to 0 when the packet leaves DCCP. The priority is supplied as ancillary
      data using cmsg(3), the patch also provides the requisite parsing routines.
