Keika Kobayashi aa0ce5bbc2 softirq: introduce statistics for softirq ... Statistics for softirq doesn't exist. It will be helpful like statistics for interrupts. This patch introduces counting the number of softirq, which will be exported in /proc/softirqs. When softirq handler consumes much CPU time, /proc/stat is like the following. $ while :; do cat /proc/stat | head -n1 ; sleep 10 ; done cpu 88 0 408 739665 583 28 2 0 0 cpu 450 0 1090 740970 594 28 1294 0 0 ^^^^ softirq In such a situation, /proc/softirqs shows us which softirq handler is invoked. We can see the increase rate of softirqs. <before> $ cat /proc/softirqs CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 HI 0 0 0 0 TIMER 462850 462805 462782 462718 NET_TX 0 0 0 365 NET_RX 2472 2 2 40 BLOCK 0 0 381 1164 TASKLET 0 0 0 224 SCHED 462654 462689 462698 462427 RCU 3046 2423 3367 3173 <after> $ cat /proc/softirqs CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 HI 0 0 0 0 TIMER 463361 465077 465056 464991 NET_TX 53 0 1 365 NET_RX 3757 2 2 40 BLOCK 0 0 398 1170 TASKLET 0 0 0 224 SCHED 463074 464318 464612 463330 RCU 3505 2948 3947 3673 When CPU TIME of softirq is high, the rates of increase is the following. TIMER : 220/sec : CPU1-3 NET_TX : 5/sec : CPU0 NET_RX : 120/sec : CPU0 SCHED : 40-200/sec : all CPU RCU : 45-58/sec : all CPU The rates of increase in an idle mode is the following. TIMER : 250/sec SCHED : 250/sec RCU : 2/sec It seems many softirqs for receiving packets and rcu are invoked. This gives us help for checking system.
