NAME
       gen_new_estimator - create a new rate estimator

SYNOPSIS
       int gen_new_estimator(struct gnet_stats_basic_packed * bstats,
                             struct gnet_stats_basic_cpu __percpu * cpu_bstats,
                             struct gnet_stats_rate_est64 * rate_est, spinlock_t * stats_lock,
                             seqcount_t * running, struct nlattr * opt);

ARGUMENTS
       bstats
           basic statistics

       cpu_bstats
           bstats per cpu

       rate_est
           rate estimator statistics

       stats_lock
           statistics lock

       running
           qdisc running seqcount

       opt
           rate estimator configuration TLV

DESCRIPTION
       Creates a new rate estimator with bstats as source and rate_est as destination. A new
       timer with the interval specified in the configuration TLV is created. Upon each interval,
       the latest statistics will be read from bstats and the estimated rate will be stored in
       rate_est with the statistics lock grabbed during this period.

       Returns 0 on success or a negative error code.
