These patches convert the GETTIMEOFDAY packet scheduler clock source to ktime (based on Stephen's patch) and add support for using nano-second clock resolution. I chose a scalar time representation within the packet schedulers instead of ktime_t since it minimizes the ktime_to_ns() calls in most cases, it allows to clean up pkt_sched.h quite a bit and HFSC needs it anyway.
Unlike my previous attempt at this, these patches keep old iproute versions working with nano-second resolution with the exception of HFSC. I'm not sure what to do about HFSC yet, so just RFC for now. include/linux/jiffies.h | 2 include/net/pkt_sched.h | 141 ++++++++++-------------------------------------- kernel/hrtimer.c | 1 kernel/time.c | 26 ++++++++ net/sched/Kconfig | 17 +++++ net/sched/sch_api.c | 11 ++- net/sched/sch_hfsc.c | 37 +++++------- 7 files changed, 100 insertions(+), 135 deletions(-) Patrick McHardy: [TIME]: Add jiffies_to_nsecs/nsecs_to_jiffies [NET_SCHED]: Replace gettimeofday clocksource by ktime [NET_SCHED]: Add support for nano-second clock resolution - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
