This commit introduces a generic library to estimate either the min or max value of a time-varying variable over a recent time window. This is code originally from Kathleen Nichols. The current form of the code is from Van Jacobson. A single struct minmax_sample will track the estimated windowed-max value of the series if you call minmax_running_max() or the estimated windowed-min value of the series if you call minmax_running_min(). Nearly equivalent code is already in place for minimum RTT estimation in the TCP stack. This commit extracts that code and generalizes it to handle both min and max. Moving the code here reduces the footprint and complexity of the TCP code base and makes the filter generally available for other parts of the codebase, including an upcoming TCP congestion control module. This library works well for time series where the measurements are smoothly increasing or decreasing.

* lib/minmax.c: windowed min/max tracker
|
|
*
|
|
* Kathleen Nichols' algorithm for tracking the minimum (or maximum)
|
|
* value of a data stream over some fixed time interval. (E.g.,
|
|
* the minimum RTT over the past five minutes.) It uses constant
|
|
* space and constant time per update yet almost always delivers
|
|
* the same minimum as an implementation that has to keep all the
|
|
* data in the window.
|
|
*
|
|
* The algorithm keeps track of the best, 2nd best & 3rd best min
|
|
* values, maintaining an invariant that the measurement time of
|
|
* the n'th best >= n-1'th best. It also makes sure that the three
|
|
* values are widely separated in the time window since that bounds
|
|
* the worse case error when that data is monotonically increasing
|
|
* over the window.
|
|
*
|
|
* Upon getting a new min, we can forget everything earlier because
|
|
* it has no value - the new min is <= everything else in the window
|
|
* by definition and it's the most recent. So we restart fresh on
|
|
* every new min and overwrites 2nd & 3rd choices. The same property
|
|
* holds for 2nd & 3rd best.
