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.
