    net: sched: RED: Introduce an ECN nodrop mode · 0a7fad23
    Petr Machata authored
    When the RED Qdisc is currently configured to enable ECN, the RED algorithm
    is used to decide whether a certain SKB should be marked. If that SKB is
    not ECN-capable, it is early-dropped.
    
    It is also possible to keep all traffic in the queue, and just mark the
    ECN-capable subset of it, as appropriate under the RED algorithm. Some
    switches support this mode, and some installations make use of it.
    
    To that end, add a new RED flag, TC_RED_NODROP. When the Qdisc is
    configured with this flag, non-ECT traffic is enqueued instead of being
    early-dropped.
