+Subject: [PATCH] fq_codel: add batch ability to fq_codel_drop()
+
+In presence of inelastic flows and stress, we can call
+fq_codel_drop() for every packet entering fq_codel qdisc.
+
+fq_codel_drop() is quite expensive, as it does a linear scan
+of 4 KB of memory to find a fat flow.
+Once found, it drops the oldest packet of this flow.
+
+Instead of dropping a single packet, try to drop 50% of the backlog
+of this fat flow, with a configurable limit of 64 packets per round.
+
+TCA_FQ_CODEL_DROP_BATCH_SIZE is the new attribute to make this
+limit configurable.
+
+With this strategy the 4 KB search is amortized to a single cache line
+per drop [1], so fq_codel_drop() no longer appears at the top of kernel
+profile in presence of few inelastic flows.
+
+[1] Assuming a 64byte cache line, and 1024 buckets
