[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 6/7] rte_sched: eliminate floating point in calculating byte clock

[Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>]

From: Stephen Hemminger <shemming@brocade.com>

The old code was doing a floating point divide for each rte_dequeue()
which is very expensive. Change to using fixed point scaled math instead.
This improved performance from 5Gbit/sec to 10 Gbit/sec
