Current taprio code operates on a very simplistic (and incorrect) assumption: that egress scheduling for a traffic class can only take place for the duration of the current interval, or i.o.w., it assumes that at the end of each schedule entry, there is a "gate close" event for all traffic classes. As an example, traffic sent with the schedule below will be jumpy, even though all 8 TC gates are open, so there is absolutely no "gate close" event (effectively a transition from BIT(tc)==1 to BIT(tc)==0 in consecutive schedule entries): tc qdisc replace dev veth0 parent root taprio \ num_tc 2 \ map 0 1 \ queues 1@0 1@1 \ base-time 0 \ sched-entry S 0xff 4000000000 \ clockid CLOCK_TAI \ flags 0x0 This qdisc simply does not have what it takes in terms of logic to *actually* compute the durations of traffic classes. Also, it does not recognize the need to use this information on a per-traffic-class basis: it always looks at entry->interval and entry->close_time. This change proposes that each schedule entry has an array called tc_gate_duration[tc]. This holds the information: "for how long will this traffic class gate remain open, starting from *this* schedule entry". If the traffic class gate is always open, that value is equal to the cycle time of the schedule. We'll also need to keep track, for the purpose of queueMaxSDU[tc] calculation, what is the maximum time duration for a traffic class having an open gate. This gives us directly what is the maximum sized packet that this traffic class will have to accept. For everything else it has to qdisc_drop() it in qdisc_enqueue().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
