In order to represent the distribution of imix packet sizes, a pre-computed data structure is used. It features 100 (IMIX_PRECISION) "bins". Contiguous ranges of these bins represent the respective packet size of each imix entry. This is done to avoid the overhead of selecting the correct imix packet size based on the corresponding weights. Example: imix_weights 40,7 576,4 1500,1 total_weight = 7 + 4 + 1 = 12 pkt_size 40 occurs 7/total_weight = 58% of the time pkt_size 576 occurs 4/total_weight = 33% of the time pkt_size 1500 occurs 1/total_weight = 9% of the time We generate a random number between 0-100 and select the corresponding packet size based on the specified weights. Eg. random number = 358723895 % 100 = 65 Selects the packet size corresponding to index:65 in the pre-computed imix_distribution array. An example of the pre-computed array is below: The imix_distribution will look like the following: 0 -> 0 (index of imix_entry.size == 40) 1 -> 0 (index of imix_entry.size == 40) 2 -> 0 (index of imix_entry.size == 40) [...] -> 0 (index of imix_entry.size == 40) 57 -> 0 (index of imix_entry.size == 40) 58 -> 1 (index of imix_entry.size == 576) [...] -> 1 (index of imix_entry.size == 576) 90 -> 1 (index of imix_entry.size == 576) 91 -> 2 (index of imix_entry.size == 1500) [...] -> 2 (index of imix_entry.size == 1500) 99 -> 2 (index of imix_entry.size == 1500) Create and use "bin" representation of the imix distribution.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
