net/sched: taprio: warn about missing size table
Vinicius intended taprio to take the L1 overhead into account when
estimating packet transmission time through user input, specifically
through the qdisc size table (man tc-stab).
Something like this:
tc qdisc replace dev $eth root stab overhead 24 taprio \
num_tc 8 \
map 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 \
queues 1@0 1@1 1@2 1@3 1@4 1@5 1@6 1@7 \
base-time 0 \
sched-entry S 0x7e
9000000 \
sched-entry S 0x82
1000000 \
max-sdu 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 200 \
flags 0x0 clockid CLOCK_TAI
Without the overhead being specified, transmission times will be
underestimated and will cause late transmissions. For an offloading
driver, it might even cause TX hangs if there is no open gate large
enough to send the maximum sized packets for that TC (including L1
overhead). Properly knowing the L1 overhead will ensure that we are able
to auto-calculate the queueMaxSDU per traffic class just right, and
avoid these hangs due to head-of-line blocking.
We can't make the stab mandatory due to existing setups, but we can warn
the user that it's important with a warning netlink extack.
