This iproute2 tc patch is connected to the kernel
- commit 8a8e3d84b17 (net_sched: restore "linklayer atm" handling)
The rate table calculated by tc, have gotten replaced in the kernel
and is no-longer used for lookups.
This happened in kernel release v3.8 caused by kernel
- commit 56b765b79 ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates").
This change unfortunately caused breakage of tc overhead and
linklayer parameters.
Kernel overhead handling got fixed in kernel v3.10 by
- commit 01cb71d2d47 (net_sched: restore "overhead xxx" handling)
Kernel linklayer handling got fixed in kernel v3.11 by
- commit 8a8e3d84b17 (net_sched: restore "linklayer atm" handling)
The linklayer fix introduced a struct change, that allow the linklayer
attribute to be transferred between tc and kernel. This patch make use
of this linklayer attribute.
The linklayer setting is transfer to the kernel. And linklayer
setting received from the kernel is printed with a prefixed
"linklayer" when listing current configuration. The default
TC_LINKLAYER_ETHERNET is only printed in detailed output mode.

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm
arpd needs to have the db4 development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdb4.x-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines. Often this is in the db-devel package.
2. make
The makefile will automatically build a Config file which
contains whether or not ATM is available, etc.
3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
PAGESIZE=a4 , ie: a4 , letter ... (string)
PAGESPERPAGE=2 , ie: 1 , 2 ... (numeric)
and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
are in your path.
4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
if you have special requirements and need to point at different
kernel include files.
