Eric Dumazet says:

====================
net_sched: allow use of hrtimer slack

Packet schedulers have used hrtimers with exact expiry times.

Some of them can afford having a slack, in order to reduce
the number of timer interrupts and feed bigger batches
to increase efficiency.

FQ for example does not care if throttled packets are
sent with an additional (small) delay.

Original observation of having maybe too many interrupts
was made by Willem de Bruijn.

v2: added strict netlink checking (Jakub Kicinski)

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.
