Subject: [PATCH 3/6] pkt_sched: sch_htb: Break all htb_do_events() after 2 jiifies

From: Jarek Poplawski <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2008 10:21:28 +0000

Currently htb_do_events() breaks events recounting for a level after 2
jiffies, but there is no reason to repeat this for next levels and
increase delays even more (with softirqs disabled). htb_dequeue_tree()
can add to this too, btw. In such a case q->now time is invalid anyway.
