[LARTC] H-PFQ / H-FSC

[Patrick McHardy]

Hi!
I just notices the net/sched Makefile references two schedulers,

obj-$(CONFIG_NET_SCH_HPFQ)      += sch_hpfq.o
obj-$(CONFIG_NET_SCH_HFSC)      += sch_hfsc.o

although no source files are included. The section in Config.in is 
commented out.
This seems to be the case since at lease somewhere in 2.2.
Does anyone know what happened to them/why they are in there ?

Bye,
Patrick

These are stubs. Jamal had some volunteer who wanted to write
H-FSC but the effort vanished AFAIK. H-PFQ can be thought as
subset of H-FSC opration so that I'd not expect to be ever done.
H-FSC is very good discipline, it is hard to programm correctly.
I've been in temptation to write it too but then I would have
to eat grass and drink from river  ...
