Subject: net_sched: gen_estimator: fix scaling error in bytes/packets samples
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit ca558e185972d8ecd308760abf972f5d408bcff0 ]
Denys reported wrong rate estimations with HTB classes.
It appears the bug was added in linux-4.10, since my tests
where using intervals of one second only.
HTB using 4 sec default rate estimators, reported rates
were 4x higher.
We need to properly scale the bytes/packets samples before
integrating them in EWMA.
Tested:
echo 1 >/sys/module/sch_htb/parameters/htb_rate_est
Setup HTB with one class with a rate/cail of 5Gbit
Generate traffic on this class
tc -s -d cl sh dev eth0 classid 7002:11
class htb 7002:11 parent 7002:1 prio 5 quantum 200000 rate 5Gbit ceil
5Gbit linklayer ethernet burst 80000b/1 mpu 0b cburst 80000b/1 mpu 0b
