Hi,

I recently switched to kernel 2.6.32 (self configured/compiled) and I've noticed an odd behavior on one of my servers. I run a bittorrent tracker on one of my servers and when using kernel 2.6.32, every now and then ksoftirqd will jump up to 20% of my CPU for almost a minute. The tracker has a total peers amount of ~45000 peers (if it matters) and this behavior seems to only happen under kernel 2.6.32. Switching back to kernel 2.6.31.1 on the server, ksoftirdq does not behave that way.

Any thoughts?

PS: please CC me as I'm not subscribed to the list

Thanks :)
