Linux kernel source tree
39f66c9e22
In the current implementation, all Transmission Delay Compensation (TDC) parameters are expressed in time quantum. However, ISO 11898-1 actually specifies that these should be expressed in *minimum* time quantum. Furthermore, the minimum time quantum is specified to be "one node clock period long" (c.f. paragraph 11.3.1.1 "Bit time"). For sake of simplicity, we prefer to use the "clock period" term instead of "minimum time quantum" because we believe that it is more broadly understood. This patch fixes that discrepancy by updating the documentation and the formula for TDCO calculation. N.B. In can_calc_tdco(), the sample point (in time quantum) was calculated using a division, thus introducing a risk of rounding and truncation errors. On top of changing the unit to clock period, we also modified the formula to use only additions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
