The file doesn't use anything from ctype.h. Instead of module.h, just use
export.h for EXPORT_SYMBOL. The latter requires the user to include
compiler.h, so do that explicitly instead of relying on some other header
pulling it in.

dql->num_queued could change while processing dql_completed().
To provide consistent calculation, added an on stack variable.

When below pattern is observed,
TIME
dql_queued() dql_completed() |
a) initial state |
|
b) X bytes queued V
c) Y bytes queued
d) X bytes completed
e) Z bytes queued
f) Y bytes completed
a) dql->limit has already some value and there is no in-flight packet.
b) X bytes queued.
c) Y bytes queued and excess limit.
d) X bytes completed and dql->prev_ovlimit is set and also
dql->prev_num_queued is set Y.
e) Z bytes queued.
f) Y bytes completed. inprogress and prev_inprogress are true.
At f), according to the comment, all_prev_completed becomes
true and limit should be increased. But POSDIFF() ignores
(completed == dql->prev_num_queued) case, so limit is decreased.

In some configurations, jiffies may be undefined in
lib/dynamic_queue_limits.c. Adding include of jiffies.h to avoid
this.

Implementation of dynamic queue limits (dql). This is a libary which
allows a queue limit to be dynamically managed. The goal of dql is
to set the queue limit, number of objects to the queue, to be minimized
without allowing the queue to be starved.
dql would be used with a queue which has these properties:
1) Objects are queued up to some limit which can be expressed as a
count of objects.
2) Periodically a completion process executes which retires consumed
objects.
3) Starvation occurs when limit has been reached, all queued data has
actually been consumed but completion processing has not yet run,
so queuing new data is blocked.
4) Minimizing the amount of queued data is desirable.
A canonical example of such a queue would be a NIC HW transmit queue.
The queue limit is dynamic, it will increase or decrease over time
depending on the workload. The queue limit is recalculated each time
completion processing is done. Increases occur when the queue is
starved and can exponentially increase over successive intervals.
Decreases occur when more data is being maintained in the queue than
needed to prevent starvation. The number of extra objects, or "slack",
is measured over successive intervals, and to avoid hysteresis the
limit is only reduced by the miminum slack seen over a configurable
time period.
dql API provides routines to manage the queue:
- dql_init is called to intialize the dql structure
- dql_reset is called to reset dynamic values
- dql_queued called when objects are being enqueued
- dql_avail returns availability in the queue
- dql_completed is called when objects have be consumed in the queue
Configuration consists of:
- max_limit, maximum limit
- min_limit, minimum limit
- slack_hold_time, time to measure instances of slack before reducing
queue limit
