Hi,
after upgrading our firewall from 4.1.17 to 4.4.0, we've noticed quite a performance
drop.. Slight network load seems to cause high CPU load..
running perf of almost idle system shows:
samples pcnt function DSO
_______ _____ _______________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________
631.00 20.7% e1000_power_down_phy_copper_80003es2lan /lib/modules/4.4.0lb6.01/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/e1000e.ko
191.00 6.3% do_raw_spin_lock [kernel.kallsyms]
165.00 5.4% ipt_register_table /lib/modules/4.4.0lb6.01/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.ko
119.00 3.9% cache_init /usr/sbin/netstat-probe
118.00 3.9% __memset_sse2 /lib64/libc-2.12.so
88.00 2.9% cache_write_packet /usr/sbin/netstat-probe
41.00 1.3% __fget [kernel.kallsyms]
40.00 1.3% memcpy [kernel.kallsyms]
when there is some network traffic, e1000_power_down_phy_copper_80003es2lan jumps to much higher
numbers.. as far as I understand the code, this seems suspicious to me..
Anyone hit the same problem?
I can try upgrading to 4.4.8-rc1 tomorrow or reverting to 4.1.17
