2.3.2 100% cpu load with SMP
-
I'm following up on this thread, but I can't respond to it.

I've been encountering the same or very similar issue as described in the thread. It started after the upgrade to the 2.3.x series. It seemed to happen every 7 days at first. During that time we discovered a network survey app that was pounding TCP and UDP ports across the network. We stopped that and it went away. Then the crashes came back over a longer period of time. This week it has happened a few times over the last couple days (about 12 hours apart +/-).
Following the suggestion on the thread, I've disabled all cores but core 0 for SMP. Now I'm seeing a 75-90% constant CPU.
I'm wondering if any progress has been made on this thread or if there is anything else I can do/provide to help solve the problem.
