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.

Description Jan Tluka 2011-08-31 09:35:32 UTC
Description of problem:

While looking at current statement about net_cls.classid value in the doc I think it's just wrong!

<snip>
... net_cls.classid contains a single value in hexadecimal ...
</snip>

It contains (if we consider looking at the file content) decimal value. After converting this number to hexadecimal we get the expected classid used in tc program.

The number conversions around net_cls.classid is quite confusing so I propose adding something like:

<enhancement>
The value of classid read from net_cls.classid file is presented in
decimal while data to be written to the file is expected in hexadecimal.
For example while working with class id 10:1,

# echo 0x100001 > net_cls.classid
# cat net_cls.classid
1048577

( 100001 )16 == 1048577
</enhancement>
