Hello!

I have FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE cvsuped at Nov 4, two ethernet cards (xl and ed)

The following my ipfw configuration causes kernel panic in
sys/netinet/ip_dummynet.c:red_drops() after ~2 sec (depending of network load)

ipfw pipe 1 config bw 3000bit/s queue 2kbyte
ipfw queue 2 config pipe 1 queue 100 red 0.008/30/80/0.1
ipfw add 1 queue 2 ip from any to any out xmit ed0

Also any ipfw configuration with RED causes kernel panic.

I found the following workaround:

+       u_int t = (curr_time - q->q_time) / ( fs->lookup_step ?
+             fs->lookup_step : (fs->lookup_step=1) );

        q->avg = (t < fs->lookup_depth) ?
            SCALE_MUL(q->avg, fs->w_q_lookup[t]) : 0;

This bug(?) is not related last dummynet changes, it also was in sources
cvsup'ed at Oct 4

Does anybody use ipfw with RED or GRED without such troubles?
