The HTB hysteresis mode reduce the CPU load, but at the
cost of scheduling accuracy.
On ADSL links (512 kbit/s upstream), this inaccuracy introduce
significant jitter, enought to disturbe VoIP. For details see my
masters thesis (http://www.adsl-optimizer.dk/thesis/), chapter 7,
section 7.3.1, pp 69-70.

There is lack of removing a class from the event queue while changing
from parent to leaf which can cause corruption of this rb tree. This
patch fixes a bug introduced by my patch: "sch_htb: turn intermediate
classes into leaves" commit: 160d5e10f8.
Many thanks to Jan 'yanek' Bortl for finding a way to reproduce this
rare bug and narrowing the test case, which made possible proper
diagnosing.
This patch is recommended for all kernels starting from 2.6.20.

HTB is event driven algorithm and part of its work is to apply
scheduled events at proper times. It tried to defend itself from
livelock by processing only limited number of events per dequeue.
Because of faster computers some users already hit this hardcoded
limit.
This patch limits processing up to 2 jiffies (why not 1 jiffie ?
because it might stop prematurely when only fraction of jiffie
remains).

htb_requeue() enqueues skbs for which htb_classify() returns NULL.
This is wrong because such skbs could be handled by NET_CLS_ACT code,
and the decision could be different than earlier in htb_enqueue().
So htb_requeue() is changed to work and look more like htb_enqueue().

Convert packet schedulers to use the netlink API. Unfortunately a gradual
conversion is not possible without breaking compilation in the middle or
adding lots of casts, so this patch converts them all in one step. The
patch has been mostly generated automatically with some minor edits to
at least allow seperate conversion of classifiers and actions.

So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...

During both HTB and HFSC class deletion the class is removed from the

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

qlen adjustment should happen immediately in ->delete and not in the
class destroy function because the reference count will not hit zero in
->delete (sch_api holds a reference) but in ->put. Since the qdisc
lock is released between deletion of the class and final destruction
this creates an externally visible error in the qlen counter.

3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
