Subject: pkt_sched: gen_estimator: use 64 bit intermediate counters for bps
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=511e11e396dc596825ce04d53d7f6d579404bc01;p=linux-beck.git

pkt_sched: gen_estimator: use 64 bit intermediate counters for bps

gen_estimator can overflow bps (bytes per second) with Gb links, while
it was designed with a u32 API, with a theorical limit of 34360Mbit
(2^32 bytes)

Using 64 bit intermediate avbps/brate counters can allow us to reach
this theorical limit.

      for HZ=100 and HZ=1024 8)), maximal interval
      is (HZ*2^EST_MAX_INTERVAL)/4 = 8sec. Shorter intervals
