Currently, when one fq qdisc has no more packets to send, it can still have some flows stored in its RR lists (q->new_flows & q->old_flows) This was a design choice, but what is a bit disturbing is that the inactive_flows counter does not include the count of empty flows in RR lists. As next patch needs to know better if there are active flows, this change makes inactive_flows exact. Before the patch, following command on an empty qdisc could have returned: lpaa17:~# tc -s -d qd sh dev eth1 | grep inactive flows 1322 (inactive 1316 throttled 0) flows 1330 (inactive 1325 throttled 0) flows 1193 (inactive 1190 throttled 0) flows 1208 (inactive 1202 throttled 0) After the patch, we now have: lpaa17:~# tc -s -d qd sh dev eth1 | grep inactive flows 1322 (inactive 1322 throttled 0) flows 1330 (inactive 1330 throttled 0) flows 1193 (inactive 1193 throttled 0) flows 1208 (inactive 1208 throttled 0) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
