From 8f3ea33a5078a09eba12bfe57424507809367756 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Devera Date: Sun, 23 Mar 2008 22:00:38 -0700 Subject: sch_htb: fix "too many events" situation HTB is event driven algorithm and part of its work is to apply scheduled events at proper times. It tried to defend itself from livelock by processing only limited number of events per dequeue. Because of faster computers some users already hit this hardcoded limit. This patch limits processing up to 2 jiffies (why not 1 jiffie ? because it might stop prematurely when only fraction of jiffie remains). Signed-off-by: Martin Devera Signed-off-by: David S.
