Subject: [PATCH net] octeontx2-pf: tc: fix egress ratelimiting
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 14:13:49 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717084349.2227796-1-nshettyj@marvell.com> (raw)

From: Hariprasad Kelam <hkelam@marvell.com>

The egress rate calculation computes an incorrect mantissa and exponent,
causing up to ~50% deviation from the configured rate at lower speeds.

Rework the computation to follow the hardware rate formula:

	rate = 2 * (1 + mantissa/256) * 2^exp / (1 << div_exp)

Keep div_exp = 0 and derive exp and mantissa from half of the requested
rate. Rates below 2 Mbps are floored to the smallest encodable step
(exp = 0, mantissa = 0).
