From 125bb8f5637bd653244728f734bcac218986d910 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2009 20:10:07 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: use a deferred timer in rt_check_expire For the sake of power saver lovers, use a deferrable timer to fire rt_check_expire() As some big routers cache equilibrium depends on garbage collection done in time, we take into account elapsed time between two rt_check_expire() invocations to adjust the amount of slots we have to check.
