This is:

    lost_clock = current_irq_coalesced * s->period -
	(current_irq_coalesced * s->period) / period * period;

i.e.

    /* When switching from a shorter to a longer period, scale down the
     * missing ticks since we expect the OS handler to treat the delayed
     * ticks as longer.  Any leftovers are put back into next_irq_clock.
     *
     * When switching to a shorter period, scale up the missing ticks
     * since we expect the OS handler to treat the delayed ticks as
     * shorter.
     */
    lost_clock = (s->irq_coalesced * s->period) % period;
    s->irq_coalesced = (s->irq_coalesced * s->period) / period;

Is this correct?


Yes, it is correct, it looks smarter, will apply it in the next version.

Thanks!
