As reported by Yuming, currently tc always show a latency of UINT_MAX
for netem Qdisc's on 32-bit platforms:
$ tc qdisc add dev dummy0 root netem latency 100ms
$ tc qdisc show dev dummy0
qdisc netem 8001: root refcnt 2 limit 1000 delay 275s 275s
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Let us take a closer look at netem_dump():
qopt.latency = min_t(psched_tdiff_t, PSCHED_NS2TICKS(q->latency,
UINT_MAX);
qopt.latency is __u32, psched_tdiff_t is signed long,
(psched_tdiff_t)(UINT_MAX) is negative for 32-bit platforms, so
qopt.latency is always UINT_MAX.
Fix it by using psched_time_t (u64) instead.
Note: confusingly, users have two ways to specify 'latency':
1. normally, via '__u32 latency' in struct tc_netem_qopt;
2. via the TCA_NETEM_LATENCY64 attribute, which is s64.
For the second case, theoretically 'latency' could be negative. This
patch ignores that corner case, since it is broken (i.e. assigning a
negative s64 to __u32) anyways, and should be handled separately.
Thanks Ted Lin for the analysis [1] .
