Re: [libvirt-users] Libvirt "tc ingress qdisc" automatically removed by ovs vlan tag setting, how?
After some digging in openvswitch code. My wild guess is that vlan tag
reconfiguring triggered iface_configure_qos (vswitchd/bridge.c), which
in turn called netdev_set_policing to reset ingress policing rate.
Although there's no ingress_policing_rate set in my case, existing
ingress qdisc still remove by default.
Could some openvswitch guy help to confirm and suggest how to fix or
workaround? It seems to be a bug of incompatible with existing ingress
qdisc settings.
Thanks,

With outbound QoS setting in Libvirt XML, libvirt will add a tc

Could anyone shed some lights where should I look into? I'm really
confused and got no clue here. Thanks!

# tc qdisc ls dev tap0a2b02ca-48

qdisc ingress ffff: parent ffff:fff1 ---------------- (<-- already showed up)
# ovs-vsctl set port tap0a2b02ca-48 tag=1
# tc qdisc ls dev tap0a2b02ca-48

qdisc sfq 2: parent 1:1 limit 127p quantum 1514b perturb 10sec
(<-- ingress qdisc is gone)
After that, if add this qdisc manually and re-set vlan tag, problem no
longer exists. But it can always be reproduced after "virsh destroy /
start" cycle.
# tc qdisc add dev tap0a2b02ca-48 handle ffff: ingress
# ovs-vsctl clear port tap0a2b02ca-48 tag
# ovs-vsctl set port tap0a2b02ca-48 tag=1
# tc qdisc ls dev tap0a2b02ca-48
qdisc htb 1: root refcnt 2 r2q 10 default 1 direct_packets_stat 0
qdisc sfq 2: parent 1:1 limit 127p quantum 1514b perturb 10sec
qdisc ingress ffff: parent ffff:fff1 ---------------- (<-- still exists)
