Not sure what your friend expected from this buggy configuration.

It probably never worked at all.

CBQ needs at least one child class and one leaf class.

This scripts creates a loop inside CBQ, so cpu is probably looping in
cbq_enqueue() (or more exactly cbq_classify()), as instructed by the
sysadmin ;)

u32 (or sfq) seems ok.

Could you try the following patch ?

Thanks !
