Hmm... well... I want to be sure no other sch will destroy my values.

netem seems buggy then.

Probably following patch is needed ?

Thanks

[PATCH] net_sched: long word align struct qdisc_skb_cb data

netem_skb_cb() does :

return (struct netem_skb_cb *)qdisc_skb_cb(skb)->data;

Unfortunatly struct qdisc_skb_cb data is not long word aligned, so
access to psched_time_t time_to_send uses a non aligned access.
