From a4a710c4a7490587406462bf1d54504b7783d7d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jarek Poplawski Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2009 22:05:13 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] pkt_sched: Change PSCHED_SHIFT from 10 to 6 Change PSCHED_SHIFT from 10 to 6 to increase schedulers time resolution. This will increase 16x a number of (internal) ticks per nanosecond, and is needed to improve accuracy of schedulers based on rate tables, like HTB, TBF or CBQ, with rates above 100Mbit. It is assumed this change is safe for 32bit accounting of time diffs up to 2 minutes, which should be enough for common use (extremely low rate values may overflow, so get inaccurate instead). To make full use of this change an updated iproute2 will be needed. (But using older iproute2 should be safe too.) This change breaks ticks - microseconds similarity, so some minor code fixes might be needed. It is also planned to change naming adequately eg. to PSCHED_TICKS2NS() etc. in the near future.
