tc bind dev sw0p0 queue 0 dev eth0 queue 16It this the eth0 i don't like here. Why not in the implementation just use something like netdev_master_upper_dev_get('sw0p0')? Or doesLast I brought this up with Jiri that we should link DSA network devices to their master network deviecs with netdev_upper_dev_link() he said this was not appropriate for DSA slave network devices, but I can't remember why, I would assume that any stacked device set up would do that.
There is some form a linking going, our device names show that:
9: lan5@eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether da:87:2a:03:cf:16 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
In any case, we need to establish a mapping so we have to specify at least the target device's queue number. It is quite similar in premise to e.g: enslaving a network device to a bridge port: ip link set dev eth0 master br0
But here br0 is absolutely required, we have to say which bridge the slave port should be a member of. But what good is eth0 in tc bind dev sw0p0 queue 0 dev eth0 queue 16 As i said suggesting, you have to somehow verify that eth0 is the conduit interface sw0p0 is using. Which makes the parameter pointless. Determine it from the sw0p0 somehow. Andrew
