Subject: [IPsec] CPU usage for IPSec in Linux 2.6.38

Hi All,
I am using linux 2.6.36 kernel and trying to add 6000 Ikev2/ipsec tunnels at 20 
Ikev2 messages per second , I am using netlink socket which is set to 
NON_BLOCKING and i am sending XFRM SPD added for every successful AUTH message 
received.

But the problem is after the 4000 tunnels are established, CPU usage goes to > 
90%, which will likely cause dropping of few AUTH response from responder.

NOTE:
But when I disabled adding SPD messaged via netlink sockets using xfrm 
messages, I am able to complete 6000 ikev2 SA negotiation successfully.

So the problem i am seeing is when sending XFRM netlink message > 4000.

Any solutions are or analysis different then the above is appreciated.


Thanks and Regards
Naveen
