[ Upstream commit e4df1b0c24350a0f00229ff895a91f1072bd850d ]
We have observed meters working unexpected if traffic is 3+Gbit/s
with multiple connections.
now_ms is not pretected by meter->lock, we may get a negative
long_delta_ms when another cpu updated meter->used, then:
delta_ms = (u32)long_delta_ms;
which will be a large value.
band->bucket += delta_ms * band->rate;
then we get a wrong band->bucket.
OpenVswitch userspace datapath has fixed the same issue[1] some
time ago, and we port the implementation to kernel datapath.
