We faced similar kind of problem, we were trying to send the data using
smtp protocol this involves creating a call to tmpfile(using with we
used to create tmp file and give the file to the SMTP), bt the tmpfs is
of only 512 Kb so when ever tmp file reaches the 512 Kb or goes beyond
that all the other irrelevant processes were showing huge increase in
CPU utilization and the system used to crash.

There are few application that i am running. One is a kernel thread

The network traffic that i am sending is FTP traffic. So above
mentioned process should not be affected by this traffic.
I am suspecting that interrupt processing might be adding to the
process utilization.

Can you name few process ?
How are you making sure that the process are not related to networking
