[PATCH iproute2-next v4 1/3] tc: fq_pie: add support for printing per-flow PIE statistics

From: Hemendra M. Naik

Date: Mon Jul 27 2026 - 13:10:36 EST


`tc -s class show` for an fq_pie qdisc now prints the following
per-flow PIE statistics:

prob drop probability for the flow
delay per-flow queue sojourn time (microseconds)
deficit remaining DRR byte credits (signed integer)
avg_dq_rate dequeue rate estimate in bytes/second
(dq_rate_estimator mode only)

avg_dq_rate is formatted using tc_print_rate(), which converts the
kernel's bytes/second value to a human-readable bits/second string
(e.g. 3906Kbit), consistent with how other tc schedulers display
rate fields.

Update the UAPI header to mirror tc_fq_pie_cl_stats from the kernel.

Add `tc -s class show` examples to tc-fq_pie(8) demonstrating the new
per-flow statistics with and without dq_rate_estimator enabled.
