From 64153ce0a7b61b2a5cacb01805cbf670142339e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2013 14:53:16 -0700 Subject: net_sched: htb: do not setup default rate estimators With a thousand htb classes, est_timer() spends ~5 million cpu cycles and throws out cpu cache, because each htb class has a default rate estimator (est 4sec 16sec). Most users do not use default rate estimators, so switch htb to not setup ones. Add a module parameter (htb_rate_est) so that users relying on this default rate estimator can revert the behavior. echo 1 >/sys/module/sch_htb/parameters/htb_rate_est Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
