[PATCH v2 net-next 09/15] net/sched: taprio: calculate guard band against actual TC gate close time

From: Vladimir Oltean
Date: Tue Feb 07 2023 - 08:56:51 EST


taprio_dequeue_from_txq() looks at the entry->end_time to determine
whether the skb will overrun its traffic class gate, as if at the end of
the schedule entry there surely is a "gate close" event for it. Hint:
maybe there isn't.

For each schedule entry, introduce an array of kernel times which
actually tracks when in the future will there be an *actual* gate close
event for that traffic class, and use that in the guard band overrun
calculation.
