[PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.15 165/189] sch_netem: Bug fixing in calculating Netem interval

[Sasha Levin]

From: "Md. Islam" <mislam4@xxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 043e337f555e610ad8237fd23522d97c968d72b9 ]

In Kernel 4.15.0+, Netem does not work properly.

Netem setup:

tc qdisc add dev h1-eth0 root handle 1: netem delay 10ms 2ms

Result:

Patch:

(rnd % (2 * sigma)) - sigma was overflowing s32. After applying the
patch, I found following output which is desirable.
