Subject: sch_netem: Bug fixing in calculating Netem interval
Patch-mainline: v4.16-rc1
Git-commit: 043e337f555e610ad8237fd23522d97c968d72b9
References: bsc#1109837
In Kernel 4.15.0+, Netem does not work properly.
Netem setup:
tc qdisc add dev h1-eth0 root handle 1: netem delay 10ms 2ms
Result:

Patch:
(rnd % (2 * sigma)) - sigma was overflowing s32. After applying the
patch, I found following output which is desirable.
