pfctl: igb0: driver does not support altq

[Lars Schotte]

Hi folks,

I get a message:
pfctl: igb0: driver does not support altq

on:
12.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #1 r333388:
Wed May 9 00:58:52 CEST 2018
root@***censored***:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GUSTIK
amd64

where /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/GUSTIK contains:

include GENERIC
ident GUSTIK
options ALTQ
options ALTQ_CBQ # Class Based Queueing
options ALTQ_RED # Random Early Detection
options ALTQ_RIO # RED In/Out
options ALTQ_CODEL # CoDel Active Queueing
options ALTQ_HFSC # Hierarchical Packet Scheduler
options ALTQ_FAIRQ # Fair Packet Scheduler
options ALTQ_CDNR # Traffic conditioner
options ALTQ_PRIQ # Priority Queueing
options ALTQ_NOPCC # Required if the TSC is unusable
options ALTQ_DEBUG

Problem does not seem to appear on 10-stable, or 11-stable.
Actually on 10.4 it worked as expected.

I will investigate if this problem affects only igbX driver or some
others as well, I have reX and emX at my disposal.

There is a long ongoing debate on the future of ALTQ,
and one PR that might be of interest:

As OpenBSD fan, who also uses OpenBSD on EdgerouterLite,
I would be pleased to hear that FreeBSD-12 would be a release where PF
is updated to some newer version, possibly having parity with OpenBSD.

In the meantime it looks like I will need to learn IPFW to do QoS.

BTW: I was looking at the whatsnew-wiki of FreeBSD and I can not find
any reliable resources of what FreeBSD-12 will be like. On the FreeBSD
website it is already noted as incomming, however I have no idea what
will be included in this release. Do you know of some?

Thanks.
