From 12efa1fa43968fcb707e806dc119df499c17ac2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2016 08:11:00 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] net_sched: gen_estimator: account for timer drifts Under heavy stress, timer used in estimators tend to slowly be delayed by a few jiffies, leading to inaccuracies. Lets remember what was the last scheduled jiffies so that we get more precise estimations, without having to add a multiply/divide in the loop to account for the drifts.
