From cf8da764fc6959b7efb482f375dfef9830e98205 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 19 May 2009 18:54:22 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: fix length computation in rt_check_expire() rt_check_expire() computes average and standard deviation of chain lengths, but not correclty reset length to 0 at beginning of each chain. This probably gives overflows for sum2 (and sum) on loaded machines instead of meaningful results. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Acked-by: Neil Horman Signed-off-by: David S.
