>Organization:
ProKK SE
>Environment:
FreeBSD test.prokk.net 7.1-STABLE FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE #0: Sat Feb 28 13:19:11 EET 2009     root@test.prokk.net:/usr/src/sys/amd64/compile/TEST  amd64
>Description:
The system is a NAS: mpd 5.2 (PPTP), SMP, em (pci-e) interfaces. Dummynet, divert and pf are disabled in the kernel. NAT and shaping aren't used.

Periodically (from 2 minutes up to 2 weeks) the system hangs with swi1: net 100% cpu usage.

While swi1: net (netgraph) is using 100% of CPU time m_tag_locate() and ng_iface_output() are constantly called from the infinite loop according to the hwpmc stats.

The problem's appearance rate doesn't depend on cpu/users/traffic load.
