[ 145/184] net: reduce net_rx_action() latency to 2 HZ

From: Willy Tarreau
Date: Tue Jun 04 2013 - 19:00:01 EST


2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazt@xxxxxxxxxx>

We should use time_after_eq() to get maximum latency of two ticks,
instead of three.

Bug added in commit 24f8b2385 (net: increase receive packet quantum)
