Add a new attribute to control the fq qdisc hrtimer slack. Default is set to 10 usec. When/if packets are throttled, fq set up an hrtimer that can lead to one interrupt per packet in the throttled queue. By using a timer slack, we allow better use of timer interrupts, by giving them a chance to call multiple timer callbacks at each hardware interrupt. Also, giving a slack allows FQ to dequeue batches of packets instead of a single one, thus increasing xmit_more efficiency. This has no negative effect on the rate a TCP flow can sustain, since each TCP flow maintains its own precise vtime (tp->tcp_wstamp_ns) v2: added strict netlink checking (as feedback from Jakub Kicinski) Tested: 1000 concurrent flows all using paced packets. 1,000,000 packets sent per second.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
