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.

Comment 3 Ronen Hod 2011-09-08 16:30:30 UTC
IIUC the problem is that a bridge erased the 3 QoS priority-bits. This can be a physical bridge (probably not the case) or a software (bridge, firewall ...) on the host. 
I asked mst for advice, and he looked into slot-2 10.66.73.35 (QE lab).
There was no need for 
"disable bridge netfilter"
since it was disabled already.
mst did:
"service iptables stop"
"rmmod ebtable_nat"
"rmmod ebtables"

If this is the right host then please try again after these changes. Otherwise, please repeat these changes on the relevant host(s) and try again.

If it doesn't solve the problem then we will probably need to run tcpdump on the host(s) to see where the bits were erased.

Thanks, Ronen.

Comment 4 Min Deng 2011-09-09 10:03:50 UTC
Hi Ronen,

   QE submit window 2008 32 bits and window 7 32 bits in WORKGROUP.And I will attach the results,please wait.

Thanks
Min

Comment 5 Min Deng 2011-09-09 11:20:51 UTC
The Latest testing results for windows 2008 32 bits,actually I also submitted a job in the domino.The job passed at last.

Thanks 
Min

Comment 6 dawu 2011-09-13 09:38:01 UTC
Hi Ronen,

I have tried win7-32 in work group environment, I followed mst did
"service iptables stop"
"rmmod ebtable_nat"
"rmmod ebtables"

job still failed,please refer to the attached of "win7-32 NDISTest6.0(priority).cpk" for details.

We will try again on win7-32 in Domain environment and update the result later.

Best Regards,
Dawn

Comment 7 Michael S. Tsirkin 2011-09-13 10:27:30 UTC
so, run tcpdump -w on host on both on tap devices and bridge
and compare them, see if qos has been modified.

The server lost these settings. We need a persistent setup

Revised instructions (should be persistent after boot too). Please also update your WHQL document:

Add the following 3 lines to /etc/sysctl.conf
 net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables = 0
 net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables = 0
 net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-arptables = 0
run "sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf"

"service iptables stop"
"chkconfig iptables off"

"rmmod ebtable_nat"
"rmmod ebtables"
Add ebtables_nat and ebtables to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

I only see the attachment from Sep 8, but it probably isn't relevant since the firewall was probably active.

Hi Ronen,

According to your revised instructions we will try this again with the new driver (virtio-win-prewhql-0.1.16) with firewall turning off, and update the result later.
We will also update the WHQL document, thanks for your reminding.

Best Regards,
Dawn

Comment 10 dawu 2011-09-14 08:14:40 UTC
Hi Ronen,

I have tried win7-32 in Domain environment for 2 times with the new driver (virtio-win-prewhql-0.1.16) and set the environment according to your revised instruction:

Add the following 3 lines to /etc/sysctl.conf
 net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables = 0
 net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables = 0
 net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-arptables = 0
run "sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf"

"service iptables stop"
"chkconfig iptables off"

"rmmod ebtable_nat"
"rmmod ebtables"
Add ebtables_nat and ebtables to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

From guest, I disabled firewall. Job passed without any error, looks like win2k8-32 and win7-32 can pass in domain environment easily, I'll try these 2 guests with fresh system in work group environment with the instruction you told me and update the result later.

Best Regards,
Dawn

Tried on win7-32 in work group environment, this job passed without any error and all guests also passed in domain environment.
