parse_percent() currently allows to specify negative percentages
or value above 100%. However this does not seems to make sense,
as the function is used for probabilities or bandiwidth rates.
Moreover, using negative values leads to erroneous results
(using Bernoulli loss model as example):
$ ip link add test type dummy
$ ip link set test up
$ tc qdisc add dev test root netem loss gemodel -10% limit 10
$ tc qdisc show dev test
qdisc netem 800c: root refcnt 2 limit 10 loss gemodel p 90% r 10% 1-h 100% 1-k 0%
Using values above 100% we have instead:
$ ip link add test type dummy
$ ip link set test up
$ tc qdisc add dev test root netem loss gemodel 140% limit 10
$ tc qdisc show dev test
qdisc netem 800f: root refcnt 2 limit 10 loss gemodel p 40% r 60% 1-h 100% 1-k 0%
This commit changes parse_percent() with a check to ensure
percentage values stay between 1.0 and 0.0.
parse_percent_rate() function, which already employs a similar
check, is adjusted accordingly.
With this check in place, we have:
$ ip link add test type dummy
$ ip link set test up
$ tc qdisc add dev test root netem loss gemodel -10% limit 10
Illegal "loss gemodel p"

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm
arpd needs to have the berkeleydb development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdbX.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.mk file which
contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available
on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX.
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.
