[ Upstream commit0211dda68a] On every iteration of net_dim, the algorithm may choose to check for the system state by comparing current data sample with previous data sample. After each of these comparison, regardless of the action taken, the sample used as baseline is needed to be updated. This patch fixes a bug that causes DIM to take wrong decisions, due to never updating the baseline sample for comparison between iterations. This way, DIM always compares current sample with zeros. Although this is a functional fix, it also improves and stabilizes performance as the algorithm works properly now. Performance: Tested single UDP TX stream with pktgen: samples/pktgen/pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh -i p4p2 -d 1.1.1.1 -m 24:8a:07:88:26:8b -f 3 -b 128 ConnectX-5 100GbE packet rate improved from 15-19Mpps to 19-20Mpps. Also, toggling between profiles is less frequent with the fix.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
