Hi all,

When I created a virtual machine using virDomainCreateXML, with virtualport type was openvswitch, and virtual machine creation failed. The error message is:

internal error: Child process (/sbin/tc filter add dev vnet110 parent ffff: protocol all u32 match u32 0 0 police rate 0kbps burst 0kb mtu 64kb drop flowid :1) unexpected exit status 2: RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

The Domain XML file the <interface> section like this:

I looked at the system log and it looked like an ovs port problem.

However, when I use "tc" to manage "vnet*" of an existing virtual machine, it still returns the same error.

root@ubuntu-24:~# /sbin/tc filter add dev vnet83 parent ffff: protocol all u32 match u32 0 0 police rate 0kbps burst 0kb mtu 64kb drop flowid :1

RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

We have an error talking to the kernel

Is there any reason for this problem? Thank you very much.

Below some information about my machine:

libvirt version: 3.4.0

ovs_version: "2.8.90"

root@ubuntu-24:~# uname -a
