It would be useful to try running oprofile on an otherwise idle system 
and see where it reports the CPU time is being used..

I googled a little and found out that oprofile is a little above my head.
So as I thought that some driver or HW might be responsible for this I
tried to disable various onboard HW and found out that if I disable
onboard ethernet problem dissapears, so now I've added netdev and
maintainer of R8169 driver to cc.

Thanks

Can you try 2.6.27-rc2 and send the content of /proc/interrupts, dmesg,
ifconfig as well as a capture of the strange output from top ?

It seems rather benign though.

Hi
Sorry for answering this late, but I was short on time and couldn't
get reiser4 to work with 2.6.27-rc2

I've copied my root to ext3 partition and with vanilla 2.6.27-rc2 I got:
-With my .config problem is still here
-With only rtl8169 removed from config there is no problem

Well I wouldn't agree from power managment standpoint :). This nic is
in a lot of laptops.
8% of 2.13GHz Core2Duo CPU is a lot :)

Btw. should LKML be removed from cc?
If you need any more help please ask.
I hope I'm not harrasing you too much :)

I tried some more kernels and I had the same problem with 2.6.23.17
and 2.6.27-rc1-mm1, but I couldn't reproduce it with kernel from
sysresccd 1.0.1 http://www.sysresccd.org/ which is a patched version
of 2.6.24 i think .7 when I booted it to change fs.
Could it be that something in userspace is creating this?

I dug a little more and found out some new info.
Unsolved bugreport with same symptoms:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119613299024398&w=2
Problems appear if I start br0 interface, as context switch rate
increases 200 times. If I start eth0 instead everything looks ok.
The bugreport above had bridging enabled too.

When using eth0 I get:

Re: ksoftirqd high cpu load on kernels 2.6.24 to 2.6.27-rc1-mm1

[Dushan Tcholich]

Hello
I found the culprit.

When using powertop I get:
Top causes for wakeups:
  35,2% (251,0)                ip : br_stp_enable_bridge (br_hello_timer_expired

So I tried to turn them off with:
brctl sethello br0 0
but the problem persisted.
If I do
brctl sethello br0 5
context switch rate drops 200 times and problem is gone.
I think that the command brctl sethello br0 0 doesn't turn off hello
messages, but sends them 250 times per second.

Thanks for your time
Dushan

You can't turn off the hello timer, it is needed for Spanning Tree to
work. The kernel should reject requests to set hello timer < 1sec.
Most routers allow 1 - 10sec.

I am going to do a new patch to add tighter range checking for STP timer
settings and another to default fowarding delay of zero if STP is disabled.

[Bridge] [RFC] bridge: STP timer management range checking

[Stephen Hemminger]

The Spanning Tree Protocol timers need to be set within certain boundaries
to keep the internal protocol engine working, and to be interoperable.
This patch restricts changes to those timers to the values defined in IEEE 802.1D
specification.

The only exception to the standards are:
  * if STP is disabled allow forwarding delay to be turned off
  * allow wider range of ageing timer since this isn't directly part of
    STP, and setting it to zero allows for non-remembering bridge.

Warning: this may cause user backlash since apparently working but standards
  conforming configurations will get configuration errors that they didn't
  see before.

[RFC] bridge: STP timer management range checking

[Stephen Hemminger]

The Spanning Tree Protocol timers need to be set within certain boundaries
to keep the internal protocol engine working, and to be interoperable.
This patch restricts changes to those timers to the values defined in IEEE 802.1D
specification.

The only exception to the standards are:
  * if STP is disabled allow forwarding delay to be turned off
  * allow wider range of ageing timer since this isn't directly part of
    STP, and setting it to zero allows for non-remembering bridge.

Warning: this may cause user backlash since apparently working but standards
  conforming configurations will get configuration errors that they didn't
  see before.

Why do we care ? You have to be the network administrator to set values,
there are cases you may want to be out of the spec and you are
privileged. The kernel does need to stop things being done which are
fatal but running around restricting privileged administrators who have
the ability to bring the network down anyway isn't its job.

Seems bogus extra code to me - stops things working that should be
allowed too.

The timer configuration is propagated in network protocol, so 
misconfigured Linux box
could survive but effect other devices on the network that are less 
robust. Maybe the
small values would cause some other bridge to crash, go infinite loop, ...
More likely robust devices might ignore our packets (because values out 
of range), leading to
routing loops and other disasters.

The kernel does need to stop administrative settings from taking out a 
network. If someone
has a custom device or other non-standard usage, they can always rebuild 
the kernel and
remove the range check.

That would be irrelevant. CAP_NET_ADMIN lets you make that size mess
anyway.

Spamming tree isn't secure, news at 11.

If you have CAP_NET_ADMIN you can trivially take out the network unless
it is properly switched.

Now you might want your pretty little GUI and/or config tools to warn
people that their configuration is outside 802 specs but that is a
different matter altogether

We always min-clamp the RTO at RTO calculation time in order to be

But tuning TCP_RTO_MAX isn't permitted right?  I'm drawing (perhaps 
flawed) parallels/distinctions between what is/isn't permitted to tweak 
for timers for one protocol versus another and wondering which may be a 
case of sauce for the goose/gander.

Did you mean "apparently working but *non*-standards conforming"?

Other than that, seems to be a sane application of "Be conservative in what you
send".  Our network is some 30K cat-5 ports, 1100 switches, 1300 wireless
access points, and we appreciate it every time somebody makes things more
bulletproof.  And yes, we prefer things to out-and-out *fail* rather than
run in a wonky configuration - hard failures usually get fixed in a few
minutes, wonkiness can drag on for months of mystifying symptoms...

I don't think we can really add these kinds of restrictions wholesale
like this.

And the user is reporting that using brctl to turn off STP doesn't
appear to actually turn off STP and thus fix all of the crazy
ksoftirqd high cpu load problems.

So what we need to do is resolve the user configuration issue that is
causing this problem to begin with.

[Bridge] [PATCH] bridge: don't allow setting hello time to zero

[Stephen Hemminger]

The bridge hello time can't be safely set to values less than 1 second,
otherwise it is possible to end up with a runaway timer.

Applied, thanks Stephen.

I added more information to the commit message so that Dushan's
incredibly contribution to this bug getting fixed are mentioned.
I don't see how we would have figured out Bridging as even the
cause without his detective work.  So it's definitely wrong not
to give him at least some mention in the commit message :-/

bridge: don't allow setting hello time to zero

Dushan Tcholich reports that on his system ksoftirqd can consume
between %6 to %10 of cpu time, and cause ~200 context switches per
second.

He then correlated this with a report by bdupree@techfinesse.com:

	http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119613299024398&w=2

and the culprit cause seems to be starting the bridge interface.
In particular, when starting the bridge interface, his scripts
are specifying a hello timer interval of "0".

The bridge hello time can't be safely set to values less than 1
second, otherwise it is possible to end up with a runaway timer.

A little nitpick: 200 times greater context switch rate :), like
100000 per second.

Btw. is there a way to make the command to turn STP off work too?
brctl stp br0 off
Because AFAIK if I shut down STP the hello timer should shut down too,
but it still continues to work.

Thank you for your time and effort

The basics:
* Hello timer is always enabled
* STP defaults to off unless you turn it on
* Turn STP on/off with brctl.

In the existing design, the hello timer always runs, even when STP
is not turned on. If STP is not enabled, the packet is just never
created.  Fixing it would not be hard (or gain much), but would have
to deal with complex lock ordering and timer problems, so it isn't
worth fixing for current releases.

The basics:
* Hello timer is always enabled
* STP defaults to off unless you turn it on
* Turn STP on/off with brctl.

In the existing design, the hello timer always runs, even when STP
is not turned on. If STP is not enabled, the packet is just never
created.  Fixing it would not be hard (or gain much), but would have
to deal with complex lock ordering and timer problems, so it isn't
worth fixing for current releases.

Well I try to turn stp off but it doesn't  want to :)
This is in my /etc/conf.d/net
brctl_br0=( "setfd 0" "sethello 10" "stp off" )
I had problems with sethello 0 so now I'm using 10.
Tried with
brctl stp br0 off
but still had same troubles.

Have a nice day

ksoftirqd high cpu load on kernels 2.6.24 to 2.6.27-rc1-mm1

[Dushan Tcholich]

Hello

This is my first bugreport on LKML so please be patient :)

top always shows me that ksoftirqd usualy gets around 8%CPU, it
changes between 6 and 10%.
It's sometimes ksoftirqd/0 sometimes /1, differs on the reboot but
doesn't change during work.
I noticed it because it had very high time+, 500hours or so.
I reproduced these problems with kernels 2.6.24 .25 and .27-rc1-mm1. I
don't remember that this happened during .22 and .23 kernels, but I
can check again if it's necessary.
Timer freq is 1000Hz

What I tried without changes with help from ##kernel:
1. built kernel without kvm;
2. disconnected all usb hw except mouse;
3. run glxgears which consumed 98% CPU and ksoftirqd  2%;
4. Tried to stress disk subsystem by copying a lot of small files on
the same partition:
time cp -R /usr/portage/* /tmp/1
real 2m17.530s
user 0m0.764s
sys 0m18.596s

it was 127507 items 1.5GB, but just pdflush jumped to 14% from time to time;
5. disabled serial port in BIOS because my UPS was connected to it,
and I suspected that it was maybe polling too much;
6. disconnected eth cable
7. tried googling but all I found is that some people had similar
problem. Some TV cards were the culprit but I don't have that HW.

If you need any more data please cc me as I'm not subscribed

Thanks for your time
Dushan Tcholich
