Hi,
In trying to run tc with netem to introduce latency in the lab on a
64bit system I discovered the following bug in get_qdisc_kind in tc.c:
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "/usr/lib/tc/q_%s.so", str);
The path to the tc qdisc shared objects is hard-coded. On a 64bit system
the correct path is /usr/lib64/tc/.
This manifests itself as follows on 64bit systems running 2.6 kernels:
# tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 100ms
Unknown qdisc "netem", hence option "delay" is unparsable
# strace tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 100ms 2>&1|grep netem
execve("/sbin/tc", ["tc", "qdisc", "add", "dev", "eth0", "root",
"netem",
"delay", "100ms"], [/* 20 vars */]) = 0
open("/usr/lib/tc/q_netem.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
A workaround is to symlink /usr/lib/tc/ to /usr/lib64/tc.
A patch that tries first /usr/lib/tc then /usr/lib64/tc is available at
http://www.olliecook.net/patches/tc.c.64bit.patch for your
consideration, although probably isn't the 'right way' to fix this.
