In commit 3c75f6ee139d ("net_sched: sch_htb: add per class overlimits counter")
we added an overlimits counter for each HTB class which could
properly reflect how many times we use up all the bandwidth
on each class. However, the overlimits counter in HTB qdisc
does not, it is way bigger than the sum of each HTB class.
In fact, this qdisc overlimits counter increases when we have
no skb to dequeue, which happens more often than we run out of
bandwidth.
It makes more sense to make this qdisc overlimits counter just
be a sum of each HTB class, in case people still get confused.
I have verified this patch with one single HTB class, where HTB
qdisc counters now always match HTB class counters as expected.
Eric suggested we could fold this field into 'direct_pkts' as
we only use its 32bit on 64bit CPU, this saves one cache line.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
