Subject: pkt_sched: act_police: Fix a rate estimator test.
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a883bf564ea555447a76682bb2d8d4bc92e23e0e;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

pkt_sched: act_police: Fix a rate estimator test.

A commit c1b56878fb68e9c14070939ea4537ad4db79ffae "tc: policing requires
a rate estimator" introduced a test which invalidates previously working
configs, based on examples from iproute2: doc/actions/actions-general.
This is too rigorous: a rate estimator is needed only when police's
"avrate" option is used.
