From 641b9e0e8b7f96425da6ce98f3361e3af0baee29 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick McHardy Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2007 01:18:42 -0700 Subject: [NET_SCHED]: Use ktime as clocksource Get rid of the manual clock source selection mess and use ktime. Also use a scalar representation, which allows to clean up pkt_sched.h a bit more and results in less ktime_to_ns() calls in most cases. The PSCHED_US2JIFFIE/PSCHED_JIFFIE2US macros are implemented quite inefficient by this patch, following patches will convert all qdiscs to hrtimers and get rid of them entirely.
