I tried to run the script efcbq that comes with iproute2 official documentation(/usr/share/doc/iproute2/examples/diffserv/efcbq) on 2.4.19 kernel. #!/bin/sh # TC=tc DEV=dev\ eth0 $TC qdisc add $DEV handle 1:0 root dsmark indices 64 default_index 0 set_tc_index $TC filter add $DEV parent 1:0 protocol ip prio 1 tcindex mask 0xfc shift 2 $TC qdisc add $DEV parent 1:0 handle 2:0 cbq bandwidth 10Mbit cell 8 avpkt 1000 mpu 64 # # EF class # $TC class add $DEV parent 2:0 classid 2:1 cbq bandwidth 10Mbit rate 1500Kbit avpkt 1000 prio 1 bounded isolated allot 1514 weight 1 maxburst 10 # packet fifo for EF? $TC qdisc add $DEV parent 2:1 pfifo limit 5 $TC filter add $DEV parent 2:0 protocol ip prio 1 handle 0x2e tcindex classid 2:1 pass_on # # BE class # $TC class add $DEV parent 2:0 classid 2:2 cbq bandwidth 10Mbit rate 5Mbit avpkt 1000 prio 7 allot 1514 weight 1 maxburst 21 borrow split 2:0 defmap 0xffff $TC qdisc add $DEV parent 2:2 red limit 60KB min 15KB max 45KB burst 20 avpkt 1000 bandwidth 10Mbit probability 0.4 $TC filter add $DEV parent 2:0 protocol ip prio 2 handle 0 tcindex mask 0 classid 2:2 pass_on Then on executing tc qdisc del dev eth1 root handle 1:0 the kernel crashes.
