Revision 5343a7f8be11951cb3095b91e8e4eb506cfacc0f authored by Eric Dumazet on 04 June 2013, 07:11:48 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 05 June 2013, 00:44:07 UTC
commit 56b765b79 ("htb: improved accuracy at high rates") added another
regression for low rates, because it mixes 1ns and 64ns time units.

So the maximum delay (mbuffer) was not 60 second, but 937 ms.

Lets convert all time fields to 1ns as 64bit arches are becoming the
norm.
