Subject: Re: HFSC classes going out of bounds, regression in recent kernels?

I am trying to track down HFSC bug.
It seems, most probably it is related to PSCHED_SHIFT at the end, i am doing 
testing again. I will try to do complete clean build, maybe last time some .o 
was left or i forgot to do make clean.

SM_SHIFT in HFSC is calculated as 30 - PSCHED_SHIFT, and it is shifted too 
much (or not enough) with new changes (ISM_SHIFT seems wrong too). So it is 
most probably overflow or not enough resolution.
I will try to change PSCHED_SHIFT back to confirm that, and at least i found 
way to reproduce bug.

Additionally in sch_hfsc.c i notice mentioned that PSCHED_SHIFT 10 is tick per 
1024us, but i try to calculate their table (in source comments), it doesn't 
fit with my calculations based on 1024us/tick, but fits well with 1024 
nanosecond.

Is it was 1024ns per tick and now 64ns per tick? Or it is microseconds(us) ?
