NAME

gen_new_estimator - create a new rate estimator

SYNOPSIS

int gen_new_estimator(struct gnet_stats_basic_packed * bstats, struct gnet_stats_basic_cpu __percpu * cpu_bstats, struct net_rate_estimator __rcu ** rate_est, spinlock_t * stats_lock, seqcount_t * running, struct nlattr * opt);

ARGUMENTS

bstats

basic statistics

cpu_bstats

bstats per cpu

rate_est

rate estimator statistics

stats_lock

statistics lock

running

qdisc running seqcount

opt

rate estimator configuration TLV

DESCRIPTION

Creates a new rate estimator with bstats as source and rate_est as destination. A new timer with the interval specified in the configuration TLV is created. Upon each interval, the latest statistics will be read from bstats and the estimated rate will be stored in rate_est with the statistics lock grabbed during this period.

Returns 0 on success or a negative error code.
