Okay :) Here is the last round, before the night !

Thanks again

[RFC] pkt_sched: gen_estimator: Don't report fake rate estimators

We currently send TCA_STATS_RATE_EST elements to netlink users, even if no estimator
is running.

# tc -s -d qdisc
qdisc pfifo_fast 0: dev eth0 root bands 3 priomap  1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
 Sent 112833764978 bytes 1495081739 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
 rate 0bit 0pps backlog 0b 0p requeues 0

User has no way to tell if the "rate 0bit 0pps" is a real estimation, or a fake
one (because no estimator is active)

After this patch, tc command output is :
$ tc -s -d qdisc
qdisc pfifo_fast 0: dev eth0 root bands 3 priomap  1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
 Sent 561075 bytes 1196 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
 backlog 0b 0p requeues 0

We add a parameter to gnet_stats_copy_rate_est() function so that
it can use gen_estimator_active(bstats, r), as suggested by Jarek.

This parameter can be NULL if check is not necessary, (htb for
example has a mandatory rate estimator)
