Fixes byte backlog accounting for the first of two chained netem instances. Bytes backlog reported now corresponds to the number of queued packets. When two netem instances are chained, for instance to apply rate and queue limitation followed by packet delay, the number of backlogged bytes reported by the first netem instance is wrong. It reports the sum of bytes in the queues of the first and second netem. The first netem reports the correct number of backlogged packets but not bytes. This is shown in the example below. Consider a chain of two netem schedulers created using the following commands: $ tc -s qdisc replace dev veth2 root handle 1:0 netem rate 10000kbit limit 100 $ tc -s qdisc add dev veth2 parent 1:0 handle 2: netem delay 50ms Start an iperf session to send packets out on the specified interface and monitor the backlog using tc: $ tc -s qdisc show dev veth2 Output using unpatched netem: qdisc netem 1: root refcnt 2 limit 100 rate 10000Kbit Sent 98422639 bytes 65434 pkt (dropped 123, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 172694b 73p requeues 0 qdisc netem 2: parent 1: limit 1000 delay 50.0ms Sent 98422639 bytes 65434 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 63588b 42p requeues 0 The interface used to produce this output has an MTU of 1500. The output for backlogged bytes behind netem 1 is 172694b. This value is not correct. Consider the total number of sent bytes and packets. By dividing the number of sent bytes by the number of sent packets, we get an average packet size of ~=1504. If we divide the number of backlogged bytes by packets, we get ~=2365. This is due to the first netem incorrectly counting the 63588b which are in netem 2's queue as being in its own queue. To verify this is the case, we subtract them from the reported value and divide by the number of packets as follows: 172694 - 63588 = 109106 bytes actualled backlogged in netem 1 109106 / 73 packets ~= 1494 bytes (which matches our MTU) The root cause is that the byte accounting is not done at the same time with packet accounting. The solution is to update the backlog value every time the packet queue is updated.
