Fix the queue delay estimation in PIE/FQ-PIE when the timestamp
(TS) method is used. When packet timestamp is used, the "current_qdelay"
keeps storing the last queue delay value calculated in the dequeue
function. Therefore, when a burst of packets arrives followed by
a pause, the "current_qdelay" will store a high value caused by the
burst and stick to that value during the pause because the queue
delay measurement is done inside the dequeue function. This causes
the drop probability calculation function to calculate high drop
probability value instead of zero and prevents the burst allowance
mechanism from working properly. Fix this problem by resetting
"current_qdelay" inside the drop probability calculation function
when the queue length is zero and TS option is used.

The result of right shifting a negative signed value is implementation
defined. On machines without arithmetic shift instructions, zero bits
may be shifted in from the left, giving a large positive result instead
of the desired divide-by power-of-2. Fix this by operating on the
absolute value and compensating for the possible negation later.
Reverse the order of the underflow/overflow tests and the exponential
decay calculation to avoid the possibility of an erroneous overflow
detection if p is a sufficiently small non-negative value. Also
check for negative values of prob before doing the exponential decay
to avoid another instance of of right shifting a negative value.

Fix problems in the FQ-PIE AQM cleanup code that could leak memory or
cause a crash.
Because dummynet calls pie_cleanup() while holding a mutex, pie_cleanup()
is not able to use callout_drain() to make sure that all callouts are
finished before it returns, and callout_stop() is not sufficient to make
that guarantee. After pie_cleanup() returns, dummynet will free a
structure that any remaining callouts will want to access.
Fix these problems by allocating a separate structure to contain the
data used by the callouts. In pie_cleanup(), call callout_reset_sbt()
to replace the normal callout with a cleanup callout that does the cleanup
work for each sub-queue. The instance of the cleanup callout that
destroys the last flow will also free the extra allocated block of memory.
Protect the reference count manipulation in the cleanup callout with
DN_BH_WLOCK() to be consistent with all of the other usage of the reference
count where this lock is held by the dummynet code.

fractional floating point values with integer divides. This will
eliminate any chance that the compiler will generate code to evaluate
the expression using floating point at runtime.

floating point constant to int64_t. This avoids the runtime
conversion of the the other operand in a set of comparisons from
int64_t to floating point and doing the comparisions in floating
point.

Implementing AQM in FreeBSD

Overview
Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in better managing
the depth of bottleneck queues in routers, switches and other places
that get congested. Solutions include transport protocol enhancements
at the end-hosts (such as delay-based or hybrid congestion control
schemes) and active queue management (AQM) schemes applied within
bottleneck queues.
The notion of AQM has been around since at least the late 1990s
(e.g. RFC 2309). In recent years the proliferation of oversized
buffers in all sorts of network devices (aka bufferbloat) has
stimulated keen community interest in four new AQM schemes -- CoDel,
FQ-CoDel, PIE and FQ-PIE.
The IETF AQM working group is looking to document these schemes,
and independent implementations are a corner-stone of the IETF's
process for confirming the clarity of publicly available protocol
descriptions. While significant development work on all three schemes
has occured in the Linux kernel, there is very little in FreeBSD.
Project Goals
This project began in late 2015, and aims to design and implement
functionally-correct versions of CoDel, FQ-CoDel, PIE and FQ_PIE
in FreeBSD (with code BSD-licensed as much as practical). We have
chosen to do this as extensions to FreeBSD's ipfw/dummynet firewall
and traffic shaper. Implementation of these AQM schemes in FreeBSD
will:
* Demonstrate whether the publicly available documentation is
sufficient to enable independent, functionally equivalent implementations
* Provide a broader suite of AQM options for sections the networking
community that rely on FreeBSD platforms
Program Members:
* Rasool Al Saadi (developer)
* Grenville Armitage (project lead)
