    fq_codel: add memory limitation per queue · 95b58430

    On small embedded routers, one wants to control maximal amount of
    memory used by fq_codel, instead of controlling number of packets or
    bytes, since GRO/TSO make these not practical.
    
    Assuming skb->truesize is accurate, we have to keep track of
    skb->truesize sum for skbs in queue.
    
    This patch adds a new TCA_FQ_CODEL_MEMORY_LIMIT attribute.
    
    I chose a default value of 32 MBytes, which looks reasonable even
    for heavy duty usages. (Prior fq_codel users should not be hurt
    when they upgrade their kernels)
    
    Two fields are added to tc_fq_codel_qd_stats to report :
     - Current memory usage
     - Number of drops caused by memory limits
    
    # tc qd replace dev eth1 root est 1sec 4sec fq_codel memory_limit 4M
    ..
    # tc -s -d qd sh dev eth1
