8fe6a79fb8 net_sched: sch_plug: use a private throttled status
We want to get rid of generic qdisc throttled management,
so this qdisc has to use a private flag.

c3a173d7db sched: remove qdisc_rehape_fail
After the removal of TCA_CBQ_POLICE in cbq scheduler qdisc->reshape_fail
is always NULL, i.e. qdisc_rehape_fail is now the same as qdisc_drop.

348e3435cb net: sched: drop all special handling of tx_queue_len == 0
Those were all workarounds for the formerly double meaning of
tx_queue_len, which broke scheduling algorithms if untreated.

Now that all in-tree drivers have been converted away from setting
tx_queue_len = 0, it should be safe to drop these workarounds for
categorically broken setups.

2132cf6437 net_sched: sch_plug: plug_qdisc_ops is static
net/sched/sch_plug.c:211:18: warning: symbol 'plug_qdisc_ops' was not
declared. Should it be static?

c3059be16c net/sched: sch_plug - Queue traffic until an explicit release command
The qdisc supports two operations - plug and unplug. When the
qdisc receives a plug command via netlink request, packets arriving
henceforth are buffered until a corresponding unplug command is received.
Depending on the type of unplug command, the queue can be unplugged
indefinitely or selectively.

This qdisc can be used to implement output buffering, an essential
functionality required for consistent recovery in checkpoint based
fault-tolerance systems. Output buffering enables speculative execution
by allowing generated network traffic to be rolled back. It is used to
provide network protection for Xen Guests in the Remus high availability
project, available as part of Xen.

This module is generic enough to be used by any other system that wishes
to add speculative execution and output buffering to its applications.

This module was originally available in the linux 2.6.32 PV-OPS tree,
used as dom0 for Xen.

For more information, please refer to http://nss.cs.ubc.ca/remus/
and http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Remus

Changes in V3:
  * Removed debug output (printk) on queue overflow
  * Added TCQ_PLUG_RELEASE_INDEFINITE - that allows the user to
    use this qdisc, for simple plug/unplug operations.
  * Use of packet counts instead of pointers to keep track of
    the buffers in the queue.
