3 * sch_plug.c Queue traffic until an explicit release command
4 *
5 * There are two ways to use this qdisc:
6 * 1. A simple "instantaneous" plug/unplug operation, by issuing an alternating
7 * sequence of TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER & TCQ_PLUG_RELEASE_INDEFINITE commands.
8 *
9 * 2. For network output buffering (a.k.a output commit) functionality.
10 * Output commit property is commonly used by applications using checkpoint
11 * based fault-tolerance to ensure that the checkpoint from which a system
12 * is being restored is consistent w.r.t outside world.
13 *
14 * Consider for e.g. Remus - a Virtual Machine checkpointing system,
15 * wherein a VM is checkpointed, say every 50ms. The checkpoint is replicated
16 * asynchronously to the backup host, while the VM continues executing the
17 * next epoch speculatively.
18 *
19 * The following is a typical sequence of output buffer operations:
20 * 1.At epoch i, start_buffer(i)
21 * 2. At end of epoch i (i.e. after 50ms):
22 * 2.1 Stop VM and take checkpoint(i).
23 * 2.2 start_buffer(i+1) and Resume VM
24 * 3. While speculatively executing epoch(i+1), asynchronously replicate
25 * checkpoint(i) to backup host.
26 * 4. When checkpoint_ack(i) is received from backup, release_buffer(i)
27 * Thus, this Qdisc would receive the following sequence of commands:
28 * TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER (epoch i)
29 * .. TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER (epoch i+1)
30 * ....TCQ_PLUG_RELEASE_ONE (epoch i)
31 * ......TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER (epoch i+2)
32 * ........
