This patch introduces the hooks necessary to do stream scheduling, as per RFC Draft ndata. It also introduces the first scheduler, which is what we do today but now factored out: first come first served (FCFS). With stream scheduling now we have to track which chunk was enqueued on which stream and be able to select another other than the in front of the main outqueue. So we introduce a list on sctp_stream_out_ext structure for this purpose. We reuse sctp_chunk->transmitted_list space for the list above, as the chunk cannot belong to the two lists at the same time. By using the union in there, we can have distinct names for these moments. sctp_sched_ops are the operations expected to be implemented by each scheduler. The dequeueing is a bit particular to this implementation but it is to match how we dequeue packets today. We first dequeue and then check if it fits the packet and if not, we requeue it at head. Thus why we don't have a peek operation but have dequeue_done instead, which is called once the chunk can be safely considered as transmitted. The check removed from sctp_outq_flush is now performed by sctp_stream_outq_migrate, which is only called during assoc setup. (sctp_sendmsg() also checks for it) The only operation that is foreseen but not yet added here is a way to signalize that a new packet is starting or that the packet is done, for round robin scheduler per packet, but is intentionally left to the patch that actually implements it. Support for I-DATA chunks, also described in this RFC, with user message interleaving is straightforward as it just requires the schedulers to probe for the feature and ignore datamsg boundaries when dequeueing.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
