commit 47df912f1c5a8783fb6edafc72b044ec0ae774ec
Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm at torproject.org>
Date: Tue Apr 17 18:20:03 2018 -0400
Remove the periodic refill event entirely.
Now that we update our buckets on demand before reading or writing,
we no longer need to update them all every TokenBucketRefillInterval
msec.
When a connection runs out of bandwidth, we do need a way to
reenable it, however. We do this by scheduling a timer to reenable
all blocked connections for TokenBucketRefillInterval msec after a
connection becomes blocked.
(If we were using PerConnBWRate more, it might make sense to have a
per-connection timer, rather than a single timeout. But since
PerConnBWRate is currently (mostly) unused, I'm going to go for the
simpler approach here, since usually whenever one connection has
become blocked on bandwidth, most connections are blocked on
bandwidth.)
Implements ticket 25373.

+ This change should improve the granularity of our bandwidth
