Luca,


I synced with SVN and tested with just the updated kernel module, which
didn't fix the CPU issue, then tested installing the new libpfring, which
did appear to fix the issue.  Pfcount uses about 95% of the CPU handling
520Kpps, and pfcount_multichannel uses about the same.  When I analyze the
threads on pfcount_multichannel, one uses 65% and the others use random
amounts amounts < 10%.  It looks like the CPU issue is fixed.  Unfortunately
when I CTRL+C'ed pfcount_multichannel it crashed the system (like with my
bug report) and I need to wait for a local tech to reboot.  I will try to
gather more data for the bug report.



Thanks,


Nicholas Gaugler

Nicolas
please resync with SVN: I think I have fixed (my fault I left some code
half-way while restructuring PF_RING)
