Hey Jack or anyone on net@, having updated my sources of HEAD from Dec/Mar to something of last week I get a lot of:
interrupt storm detected on "irq262:"; throttling interrupt source Given Intel's driver REDAME I found online says to update the sysctl to this: hw.intr_storm_threshold=9000 I did that. I then quickly ended up at 25k which still wasn't enough so I added 2 more zeros to get my console unspammed. Any idea what the cause for this could be? The few input pps also seem to keep it quite busy, even if only distributed to a single queue and what netstat reports is far from ideal. The pps number it should be able to take should be way higher I feel and I am sending it a load more pps anyway. # netstat -I ix1 -w 1 input (ix1) output packets errs idrops bytes packets errs bytes colls 114467 200089 0 23275412 113885 0 8458948 0 147135 206724 0 26074654 147010 0 10820024 0 176973 334783 0 37914940 176904 0 13117378 0 106443 274685 0 28386046 106781 0 8002984 0 35404 0 0 2492980 35236 0 2538270 0 172295 214024 0 28396162 171991 0 12616392 0 52870 201826 0 19069376 53563 0 4068360 0 182143 366926 0 40728536 181543 0 13530772 0 128465 231976 0 26673492 128992 0 9513468 0 26161 0 0 1841770 26204 0 1880830 0 115360 220160 0 24864314 115523 0 8562074 0 ^C 12 root -92 - 0K 432K CPU1 1 474:32 100.00% intr{irq262: ix1:que } 0 root -92 0 0K 384K CPU0 0 226:12 100.00% kernel{ix1 que} 12 root -92 - 0K 432K CPU3 3 214:36 99.66% intr{irq264: ix1:que } 0 root -92 0 0K 384K - 2 464:29 98.29% kernel{ix1 que} 11 root 155 ki31 0K 64K RUN 2 82.9H 1.56% idle{idle: cpu2} 12 root -92 - 0K 432K WAIT 2 26:15 1.17% intr{irq263: ix1:que } 11 root 155 ki31 0K 64K RUN 0 84.0H 0.00% idle{idle: cpu0} 11 root 155 ki31 0K 64K RUN 3 82.4H 0.00% idle{idle: cpu3} 11 root 155 ki31 0K 64K RUN 1 79.5H 0.00% idle{idle: cpu1} 12 root -92 - 0K 432K RUN 0 26:34 0.00% intr{irq261: ix1:que } 17 root 16 - 0K 16K syncer 2 26:25 0.00% syncer 0 root -92 0 0K 384K - 3 17:30 0.00% kernel{ix1 que} 0 root -92 0 0K 384K RUN 2 16:09 0.00% kernel{em0 que} 0 root -92 0 0K 384K - 0 15:54 0.00% kernel{ix1 que} 12 root -60 - 0K 432K WAIT 1 10:38 0.00% intr{swi4: clock} Is anyone seeing this as well or can reproduce it?
