Merge branch 'pie-next'



Leslie Monis says:

====================
net: sched: pie: align PIE implementation with RFC 8033

The current implementation of the PIE queuing discipline is according to the
IETF draft [http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pan-aqm-pie-00] and the paper
[PIE: A Lightweight Control Scheme to Address the Bufferbloat Problem].
However, a lot of necessary modifications and enhancements have been proposed
in RFC 8033, which have not yet been incorporated in the source code of Linux.
This patch series helps in achieving the same.

Performance tests carried out using Flent [https://flent.org/]

Changes from v2 to v3:
  - Used div_u64() instead of direct division after explicit type casting as
    recommended by David

Changes from v1 to v2:
  - Excluded the patch setting PIE dynamically active/inactive as the test
    results were unsatisfactory
  - Fixed a scaling issue when adding more auto-tuning cases which caused
    local variables to underflow
  - Changed the long if/else chain to a loop as suggested by Stephen
  - Changed the position of the accu_prob variable in the pie_vars
    structure as recommended by Stephen
