Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 0/4] pie: minor improvements

This patch series includes the following minor changes with
respect to the PIE/FQ-PIE qdiscs:

 - Patch 1 removes some ambiguity by using the term "backlog"
           instead of "qlen" when referring to the queue length
           in bytes.
 - Patch 2 removes redundant type casting on two expressions.
 - Patch 3 removes the pie_vars->accu_prob_overflows variable
           without affecting the precision in calculations and
           makes the size of the pie_vars structure exactly 64
           bytes.
 - Patch 4 realigns a comment affected by a change in patch 3.

Changes from v1 to v2:
 - Kept 8 as the argument to prandom_bytes() instead of changing it
   to 7 as suggested by David Miller.

Leslie Monis (4):
  pie: use term backlog instead of qlen
  pie: remove unnecessary type casting
  pie: remove pie_vars->accu_prob_overflows
  pie: realign comment
