Subject: [PATCH net] net/sched: sch_cake: fix autorate reconfiguration throttling
Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2026 03:21:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260816012109.2865223-1-ooonea@gmail.com> (raw)
CAKE's autorate-ingress path intends to limit shaper reconfiguration to
once per 250 ms, but last_reconfig_time is only checked and never updated.
Since the field stays zero, every qualifying capacity-estimate window can
call cake_reconfigure(), causing avoidable rate churn and scheduler work
under bursty traffic.
Store the current timestamp when autorate actually reconfigures the qdisc
so the guard enforces the intended interval.
Fixes: 7298de9cd725 ("sch_cake: Add ingress mode")
