Dear All, I've been using the GTP-U kernel module to communicate with a P-GW. Running Fedora 29, kernel 4.18.16-300.fc29.x86_64. At high traffic levels through the GTP-U tunnel I see the performance degrade as 100% CPU is consumed by a single ksoftirqd process. It is running on a multi-cpu machine and as far as I can tell the load is evenly spread across the cpus (ie either manually via smp_affinity, or even irqbalance, checking /proc/interrupts so forth.). Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any particular area you could recommend I investigate to find the root cause of this bottleneck, as i'm starting to scratch my head where to look next...
