I have a machine under heavy network traffic.
Kernel is Centos kernel 2.6.18 SMP 32 bit.
Ethernets are
05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 80003ES2LAN Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 01)
05:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 80003ES2LAN Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 01)
06:01.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 05)
06:02.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 05)
The mainboard is with Intel 5000 series chipset Asus board.
When I use 2.6.9 kernel with the same location and traffic I have had no softirq usage. Also in 2.4 Centos 3 machine I have had no softirq usage.
With the same location and traffic I have softirq usage %25:
Cpu0 : 2.0%us, 2.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 71.3%id, 0.0%wa, 2.7%hi, 22.0%si, 0.0%st
Cpu1 : 1.0%us, 1.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 79.7%id, 0.0%wa, 1.3%hi, 16.6%si, 0.0%st
I have no extra parameters in grub.conf.
Is it a known problem?
What do you suggest?
Regards,
Oguz Yilmaz
