libvirt users - Jan 2018 - Create virtual machine failed using virDomainCreateXML

Hi all, 


When I created a virtual machine using virDomainCreateXML, with virtualport type
was openvswitch, and virtual machine creation failed. The error message is:
internal error: Child process (/sbin/tc filter add dev vnet110 parent ffff:
protocol all u32 match u32 0 0 police rate 0kbps burst 0kb mtu 64kb drop flowid
:1) unexpected exit status 2: RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument


The Domain XML file the <interface> section like this:
<interface type='bridge'><mac
address='52:54:00:71:b1:b6'/><source
bridge='ovsbr'/><virtualport
type='openvswitch'/><address type='pci'
domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03'
function='0x0'/></interface>


I looked at the system log and it looked like an ovs port problem:
4560 Jan 22 17:43:33 ubuntu-24 ovs-vsctl: ovs|00001|vsctl|INFO|Called as

However, when I use "tc" to manage "vnet*" of an existing
virtual machine, it still returns the same error.
root@ubuntu-24:~# /sbin/tc filter add dev vnet83 parent ffff: protocol all u32
match u32 0 0 police rate 0kbps burst 0kb mtu 64kb drop flowid :1
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
We have an error talking to the kernel




Is there any reason for this problem? Thank you very much.


Below some information about my machine:
libvirt version: 3.4.0
ovs_version: "2.8.90"

This doesn't look right, because you have no QoS defined here

But libvirt is still trying to set some. Are you sure you're pasting the
correct XML? Also, your kernel is probably lacking some of the required
features, like u32.

Dear Michal:
I'm sorry. The pasting XML I described earlier is wrong, and the real thing
is:
    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:0a:2b:2a'/>
      <source bridge='lcs_br_1'/>
      <virtualport type='openvswitch'/>
      <bandwidth>
        <inbound average='0' peak='0'/>
        <outbound average='0' peak='0'/>
      </bandwidth>
      <model type='virtio'/>
    </interface>


I'm really sorry. I forgot I had QoS defined on the virtual machine.
And this problem doesn't happen every time. I encountered this problem when
I used the same XML to create about 100 virtual machines on a hypervisor.
