From 8d4698f7a54a492a1b96c505b30fe750ae3e61d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2008 13:44:40 -0700 Subject: bridge: don't allow setting hello time to zero Dushan Tcholich reports that on his system ksoftirqd can consume between %6 to %10 of cpu time, and cause ~200 context switches per second. He then correlated this with a report by bdupree@techfinesse.com: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119613299024398&w=2 and the culprit cause seems to be starting the bridge interface. In particular, when starting the bridge interface, his scripts are specifying a hello timer interval of "0". The bridge hello time can't be safely set to values less than 1 second, otherwise it is possible to end up with a runaway timer. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.
