This patch introduces RFC Draft ndata section 3.4 Priority Based Scheduler (SCTP_SS_PRIO). It works by having a struct sctp_stream_priority for each priority configured. This struct is then enlisted on a queue ordered per priority if, and only if, there is a stream with data queued, so that dequeueing is very straightforward: either finish current datamsg or simply dequeue from the highest priority queued, which is the next stream pointed, and that's it. If there are multiple streams assigned with the same priority and with data queued, it will do round robin amongst them while respecting datamsgs boundaries (when not using idata chunks), to be reasonably fair. We intentionally don't maintain a list of priorities nor a list of all streams with the same priority to save memory. The first would mean at least 2 other pointers per priority (which, for 1000 priorities, that can mean 16kB) and the second would also mean 2 other pointers but per stream. As SCTP supports up to 65535 streams on a given asoc, that's 1MB. This impacts when giving a priority to some stream, as we have to find out if the new priority is already being used and if we can free the old one, and also when tearing down. The new fields in struct sctp_stream_out_ext and sctp_stream are added under a union because that memory is to be shared with other schedulers.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
