3) What you expected to happen
Processes launched during the NIC load is high will exit normally.
4) What happened instead
I'm using hirsute on Raspberry Pi 4 model B(4GB RAM).
Some processes launched during the NIC load is high might not exit.
What "NIC load is high" means:
- I have configured crontab to run Ookla's speedtest-cli which generates
heavy network traffic every 15 minites.
- During speedtest-cli, Softirq becomes higher.
- SoC(BCM2711) built-in NIC(driver is bcmgenet)
What "may not exit" means:
- Some processes launched during speedtest-cli is running will not exit. It
remains with consuming CPU 100% and not accept any signals including SIGKILL.
- Those processes can't be attached by gdb or strace. Trying to do so, gdb
and strace will freeze.
I could't terminate the processes in any way. But the system could be
rebooted by "sudo reboot" command.
I configured RFS/RPS to distribute Softirq among CPU cores. It was
quite effective, but did not prevent the problem completely.
