Hey,
I'm currently doing some work on implementing sampling in BPF, for one
of the methods I've decided to make use of ppsratecheck(). After doing
some testing, I found an unexpected result.
Having run ppsratecheck() through on paper, I believe that it'll always
be off by one if the actual pps is equal or above the maximum you require.
8.0-CURRENT integrated last night, in sys/kern/kern_time.c in
ppsratecheck() the last return of the function is follows:
853 return (maxpps < 0 || *curpps < maxpps);
Should this not be
853 return (maxpps < 0 || *curpps <= maxpps);
As without it ppsratecheck() will never permit maxpps, only maxpps - 1.
I could be talking twoddle, but I wanted to check.
Pete.
