Subject: net_sched: htb: do not setup default rate estimators
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=64153ce0a7b6;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

net_sched: htb: do not setup default rate estimators

With a thousand htb classes, est_timer() spends ~5 million cpu cycles
and throws out cpu cache, because each htb class has a default
rate estimator (est 4sec 16sec).

Most users do not use default rate estimators, so switch htb
to not setup ones.

Add a module parameter (htb_rate_est) so that users relying
on this default rate estimator can revert the behavior.
