Release 4.11 net/sched/sch_plug.c
/*
* sch_plug.c Queue traffic until an explicit release command

*
* There are two ways to use this qdisc:
* 1. A simple "instantaneous" plug/unplug operation, by issuing an alternating
* sequence of TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER & TCQ_PLUG_RELEASE_INDEFINITE commands.
*
* 2. For network output buffering (a.k.a output commit) functionality.
* Output commit property is commonly used by applications using checkpoint
* based fault-tolerance to ensure that the checkpoint from which a system
* is being restored is consistent w.r.t outside world.
*
* Consider for e.g. Remus - a Virtual Machine checkpointing system,
* wherein a VM is checkpointed, say every 50ms. The checkpoint is replicated
* asynchronously to the backup host, while the VM continues executing the
* next epoch speculatively.
*
* The following is a typical sequence of output buffer operations:
* 1.At epoch i, start_buffer(i)
* 2. At end of epoch i (i.e. after 50ms):
* 2.1 Stop VM and take checkpoint(i).
* 2.2 start_buffer(i+1) and Resume VM
* 3. While speculatively executing epoch(i+1), asynchronously replicate
* checkpoint(i) to backup host.
* 4. When checkpoint_ack(i) is received from backup, release_buffer(i)
* Thus, this Qdisc would receive the following sequence of commands:
* TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER (epoch i)
* .. TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER (epoch i+1)
* ....TCQ_PLUG_RELEASE_ONE (epoch i)
* ......TCQ_PLUG_BUFFER (epoch i+2)
* ........
