I had the same problem when I upgraded to 2.6.38 vanilla (and currently at 2.6.39.1), but I can't remember what the last successful version was (probably greater than 2.6.32). My syslog was full of the WARN_ON trace from sch_hfsc.c:1427.
I looked back through the history for sch_hfsc.c (see http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=history;f=net/sched/sch_hfsc.c;hb=HEAD) and "net/sched/sch_hfsc.c: initialize parent's cl_cfmin properly in init_vf()" stood out as modifying related code (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=3b2eb6131e2f6ff646abb0fc69648179b8b70216). I did not make any serious attempt to understand the change and I did not do a bisect (sorry!), but I have been running with this patch removed for 48 hours without any errors. The block of code modified by the patch looks exactly the same in init_vf() and update_vf(), but the patch only modifies one of them. Is that correct? Sorry in advance if I'm just adding noise to the problem. Below is a brief section of my tc configuration. It honestly might be pretty wrong, but I think I copied the general idea from OpenWrt. rate=2000; ratedown=12800; boost=4000; boost_time=20s; iface=eth1 ifconfig $iface up txqueuelen 5 tc filter add dev $iface parent ffff: protocol ip u32 match u32 0 0 police rate ${ratedown}kbit burst 200k drop flowid :1 ul="ul m1 ${boost}kbit d ${boost_time} m2 ${rate}kbit" tc qdisc add dev $iface root handle 1: hfsc default 12 tc class add dev $iface parent 1: classid 1:1 hfsc sc rate ${rate}kbit $ul tc class add dev $iface parent 1:1 classid 1:10 hfsc sc umax 1500b dmax 10ms rate $(($rate*15/100))kbit $ul tc class add dev $iface parent 1:1 classid 1:11 hfsc sc umax 1500b dmax 20ms rate $(($rate*25/100))kbit $ul tc class add dev $iface parent 1:1 classid 1:12 hfsc sc umax 1500b dmax 250ms rate $(($rate*50/100))kbit $ul tc class add dev $iface parent 1:1 classid 1:13 hfsc sc umax 1500b dmax 900ms rate $(($rate*10/100))kbit $ul tc qdisc add dev $iface parent 1:10 handle 10: sfq perturb 4 tc qdisc add dev $iface parent 1:11 handle 11: sfq perturb 4 tc qdisc add dev $iface parent 1:12 handle 12: sfq perturb 4 tc qdisc add dev $iface parent 1:13 handle 13: sfq perturb 4 tc filter add dev $iface parent 1: prio 1 protocol ip u32 match mark 0x1 0xff flowid 1:10 tc filter add dev $iface parent 1: prio 2 protocol ip u32 match mark 0x2 0xff flowid 1:11 tc filter add dev $iface parent 1: prio 3 protocol ip u32 match mark 0x3 0xff flowid 1:12 tc filter add dev $iface parent 1: prio 4 protocol ip u32 match mark 0x4 0xff flowid 1:13 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
