Ok.... I have tried to isolate the error. I have installed a kernel 2.2.9
right from the box and patched it to kernel 2.2.10. I have then made a
"make menuconfig", compiled the kernel, installed the modules, and booted
the new kernel.
I then tried to compile iproute2 version 990530 but the file iplink.c refered
to the name SIOCSIFNAME which is undefined. So instead I compiled and used
version 990417 (btw: the file q_prio does not define the class-interface
functions so when you manipulate the classes of a prio qdisc tc terminates
with a segmentation fault).
I then executed:
tc qdisc del dev eth0 root
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: cbq bandwidth 10Mbit allot 1514 \
cell 8 avpkt 1000 mpu 64
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:0 classid 1:1 cbq bandwidth 10Mbit \
rate 64Kbit weight 6Kbit allot 1514 cell 8 avpkt 1000 mpu 64 prio 5 \
bounded defmap ffff split 1:0
And it seemed to work for some time (30 minuttes maybe). I left my home
for severel hours and now where I am back eth0 does not work anymore. That is,
when I run tcpdump I still see packets from the network - but locally generated
packets does not get through to the interface or to tcpdump.
Now where eth0 doesn't work I have executed:
tc -s -d qdisc ls dev eth0
and got:
qdisc cbq 1: rate 10Mbit cell 8b mpu 64b (bounded,isolated) prio no-transmit/8
weight 10Mbit allot 1514b

And I have exexcuted:
tc -s -d class ls dev eth0
And got:
class cbq 1: root rate 10Mbit cell 8b mpu 64b (bounded,isolated) prio no-transmit/8

Afterwards I have executed:
tc qdisc del dev eth0 root
And everything seems to work again.
Please let me know if I should perform other tests. Please also let me know
if you find the problem and there is a way I can patch the kernel myself.
BTW: My machine polls for mail about every 2 minutte.
A last thing - when experimenting with tc I often have been in the
situation that it hangs and partly locks my machine. It locks my
machine in a way where it stills seems to work but it ignore reboot
requests and when I want tc to perfom something it just hangs a has to be
terminated with Ctrl+C. Are you interrested in bug reports of this kind of
problems or are you aware of them?
