-Subject: [PATCH] codel: use Newton method instead of sqrt() and divides
-
-commit 536edd67109df5e0cdb2c4ee759e9bade7976367 upstream.
-
-As Van pointed out, interval/sqrt(count) can be implemented using
-multiplies only.
-
-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing_square_roots#Iterative_methods_for_reciprocal_square_roots
-
-This patch implements the Newton method and reciprocal divide.
-
-Total cost is 15 cycles instead of 120 on my Corei5 machine (64bit
-kernel).
-
-There is a small 'error' for count values < 5, but we don't really care.
-
-I reuse a hole in struct codel_vars :
- - pack the dropping boolean into one bit
- - use 31bit to store the reciprocal value of sqrt(count).
