From: "Md. Islam" <mislam4@xxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 043e337f555e610ad8237fd23522d97c968d72b9 ] In Kernel 4.15.0+, Netem does not work properly. Netem setup: tc qdisc add dev h1-eth0 root handle 1: netem delay 10ms 2ms Result: PING 172.16.101.2 (172.16.101.2) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 172.16.101.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=22.8 ms 64 bytes from 172.16.101.2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=10.9 ms 64 bytes from 172.16.101.2: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=10.9 ms 64 bytes from 172.16.101.2: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=11.4 ms 64 bytes from 172.16.101.2: icmp_seq=6 ttl=64 time=11.8 ms 64 bytes from 172.16.101.2: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=4303 ms 64 bytes from 172.16.101.2: icmp_seq=10 ttl=64 time=11.2 ms 64 bytes from 172.16.101.2: icmp_seq=11 ttl=64 time=10.3 ms 64 bytes from 172.16.101.2: icmp_seq=7 ttl=64 time=4304 ms 64 bytes from 172.16.101.2: icmp_seq=8 ttl=64 time=4303 ms Patch: (rnd % (2 * sigma)) - sigma was overflowing s32. After applying the patch, I found following output which is desirable.
