RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2015:2117 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE iproute bug fix and enhancement update 2015-11-19 11:35:06 UTC

Description Phil Sutter 2015-08-20 09:36:06 UTC 
'tc' program of current RHEL7's iproute package does not allow to attach pfifo_fast qdisc to a device:

# tc qd show dev eth0
qdisc pfifo_fast 0: root refcnt 2 bands 3 priomap  1 2 2 2 1 2 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
# tc qd replace dev eth0 root pfifo
# tc qd show dev eth0
qdisc pfifo 8004: root refcnt 2 limit 1000p
# tc qd replace dev eth0 root pfifo_fast
qdisc 'pfifo_fast' does not support option parsing

This is an obvious bug (no options were given above, still tc complains). It has been fixed upstream:

    tc: allow qdisc without options
    
    Pfifo_fast needs no options. So don't force it to have parsing code.

    Fix handling of qdis without options
    
    Some qdisc like htb want the parse_qopt to be called even if no options
    present. Fixes regression caused by:
