It is. This patch I had originally planned for 2.6.23 switches HTB
to the generic estimator, which shouldn't suffer from this.
   

BTW, maybe I look at this too short, but is this del_timer()
in gen_kill_estimator() enough? I cannot see nothing against
a timer just running and doing mod_timer() again...

Yes, but nothing bad can happen, the timer will find an empty
list and do nothing. It would make more sense to check for
an empty list before restarting the timer though.


Could you send a patch for that?

Probably I could, but it's your idea!

I look at this just now, and maybe it's enough for asking,
but definitely not enough for patch. I'll try to check this
more in the evening, so I could send something tomorrow.

So if it's not only about kindness, feel free to do it
sooner and I've no doubts  - better.

Thanks for so instant reply!
