Description Yaniv Lavi 2011-09-21 06:46:19 UTC
Description of problem:
vdsm sends large negative values to rhevm instead of percentage in host interface tx_rate and rx_rate.   

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.4

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create setup with several Hosts
2.run on the hosts 'vdsClient -s 0 getVdsStats'
  And check the values (Tx/Rx rate ( '-694.2' / '-470.6') && 'speed': '-1'
  
Actual results:
returns negative on percent stats. the value can be more then -30000 even.

Expected results:
returns positive percent stats.

please attach vdsm.log, and the output of `vdsClient -s 0 getVdsStats`. Please send me host details (in private), since the problem does not reproduce on hosts that I've seen.

This bug could have stemmed form kernel reporting negative speed in 

/sys/class/net/eth0/speed

The posted patch prevents this problem, but I cannot be sure until we find a host where this reproduces (and may warrant a separate kernel bug).

    BZ#740158 netinfo: never report negative speed
    
    Even if, for some reason,
    
        /sys/class/net/eth0/speed
    
    had a negative value, we should not report it as such. It justly
    confuses users.
