RHEL6 Netlink sendto() or ioctl() takes much longer on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6
Issue
- We noticed an issue with running the following ssh command (and also with tnsping) on our RHEL6.5 hosts that have been patched up to the latest levels. Every second connection was a lot longer than the previous one.
- This happens on the kernel-2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64 but not the kernel-2.6.32-431.20.3.el6.x86_64.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6
- kernel-2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64
- HP ProLiant DL580 Gen8
- The hp-ams service
- The ixgbe driver
