Here's the function trace for the 1106-µs latency:
http://linux.kernel.free.fr/latency/1106-us-trace.txt
These two lines repeat ~2000 times for ~800 µs:
softirq--4 0.... 272us : __lock_text_start (rt_run_flush)
softirq--4 0.... 272us : rt_spin_unlock (rt_run_flush)
With a pair of the following in the middle:
softirq--4 0.... 670us : call_rcu (rt_run_flush)
softirq--4 0D..1 670us : __rcu_advance_callbacks (call_rcu)
Could someone explain why the kernel is "spinning" in rt_run_flush.
http://lxr.linux.no/source/net/ipv4/route.c#L692
What is the kernel trying to do?
Is the kernel in the following loop?
701 for (i = rt_hash_mask; i >= 0; i--) {
702 spin_lock_bh(rt_hash_lock_addr(i));
703 rth = rt_hash_table[i].chain;
704 if (rth)
705 rt_hash_table[i].chain = NULL;
706 spin_unlock_bh(rt_hash_lock_addr(i));
Line 702 would be __lock_text_start (rt_run_flush)
Line 706 would be rt_spin_unlock
Is that correct?
And this would be done 2000 times because rt_hash_mask=2000?
Regards.
