The IEEE 802.1Q-2018 defines two "types" of schedules, the "Oper" (from
operational?) and "Admin" ones. Up until now, 'taprio' only had
support for the "Oper" one, added when the qdisc is created. This adds
support for the "Admin" one, which allows the .change() operation to
be supported.
Just for clarification, some quick (and dirty) definitions, the "Oper"
schedule is the currently (as in this instant) running one, and it's
read-only. The "Admin" one is the one that the system configurator has
installed, it can be changed, and it will be "promoted" to "Oper" when
it's 'base-time' is reached.
The idea behing this patch is that calling something like the below,
(after taprio is already configured with an initial schedule):
$ tc qdisc change taprio dev IFACE parent root \
base-time X \
sched-entry <CMD> <GATES> <INTERVAL> \
...
Will cause a new admin schedule to be created and programmed to be
"promoted" to "Oper" at instant X. If an "Admin" schedule already
exists, it will be overwritten with the new parameters.
Up until now, there was some code that was added to ease the support
of changing a single entry of a schedule, but was ultimately unused.
Now, that we have support for "change" with more well thought
semantics, updating a single entry seems to be less useful.
So we remove what is in practice dead code, and return a "not
supported" error if the user tries to use it. If changing a single
entry would make the user's life easier we may ressurrect this idea,
but at this point, removing it simplifies the code.
For now, only the schedule specific bits are allowed to be added for a
new schedule, that means that 'clockid', 'num_tc', 'map' and 'queues'
cannot be modified.
Example:
$ tc qdisc change dev IFACE parent root handle 100 taprio \
base-time $BASE_TIME \
sched-entry S 00 500000 \
sched-entry S 0f 500000 \
clockid CLOCK_TAI
The only change in the netlink API introduced by this change is the
introduction of an "admin" type in the response to a dump request,
that type allows userspace to separate the "oper" schedule from the
"admin" schedule. If userspace doesn't support the "admin" type, it
will only display the "oper" schedule.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
