tc: Add support for configuring the taprio scheduler
This traffic scheduler allows traffic classes states (transmission allowed/not allowed, in the simplest case) to be scheduled, according to a pre-generated time sequence. This is the basis of the IEEE 802.1Qbv specification. Example configuration: tc qdisc replace dev enp3s0 parent root handle 100 taprio \ num_tc 3 \ map 2 2 1 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 \ queues 1@0 1@1 2@2 \ base-time 1528743495910289987 \ sched-entry S 01 300000 \ sched-entry S 02 300000 \ sched-entry S 04 300000 \ clockid CLOCK_TAI The configuration format is similar to mqprio. The main difference is the presence of a schedule, built by multiple "sched-entry" definitions, each entry has the following format: sched-entry <CMD> <GATE MASK> <INTERVAL> The only supported <CMD> is "S", which means "SetGateStates", following the IEEE 802.1Qbv-2015 definition (Table 8-6). <GATE MASK> is a bitmask where each bit is a associated with a traffic class, so...
