From e850f68b8f27a76c4377c34f2e216b8e7e10db3d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob Copeland Date: Sat, 16 Jan 2010 14:36:52 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix sign error in pid controller While testing the pid rate controller in mac80211_hwsim, I noticed that once the controller reached 54 Mbit rates, it would fail to lower the rate when necessary. The debug log shows: 1945 186786 pf_sample 50 3534 3577 50 My interpretation is that the fixed point scaling of the target error value (pf) is incorrect: the error value of 50 compared to a target of 14 case should result in a scaling value of (14-50) = -36 * 256 or -9216, but instead it is (14 * 256)-50, or 3534. Correct this by doing fixed point scaling after subtraction. Signed-off-by: Bob Copeland Acked-by: Stefano Brivio Acked-by: Mattias Nissler Signed-off-by: John W.
