I don't know if this is related but something broke netem after 2.6.10-rc2
Now a simple request to delay 10ms ends up taking 1000ms.

Still narrowing down the changeset, but it isn't a change in netem
or tc utils since these didn't change.

 

I can't find anything in the Changelog that looks related.
Can you give me a testcase ?

I think the problem was a missing poke (qdisc_restart) in the netem timer
routine, it probably worked earlier for me on other hardware because I was
using different hardware that was waking up and checking tx in response
to received packets.
