Thanksis there a known bug, and how do I deal with this problem ? Too many users are using Linux, I cannot tell everybody to switch to BSD.They resolved the problem by not using the libevent. Unfortunately, my system is built around libevent2 and I cannot afford that solution.I was searching the Internet and I found the thread where people are having the exact same problem:Hieverything works fine in other OS's (BSD, Solaris). But all Linuxes have this problem.
I am the author and developer of the rfc5766-turn-server project:
https://code.google.com/p/rfc5766-turn-server/
I have a strange problem with libevent2 consuming 100% of 100% of CPU in Linux (any linux) on high load condition, even after the load is back to normal. Basically, the system is doing nothing, just spinning inside libevent loop, indefinitely. The system is responsitive, but CPU is consumed 100%. When I connect to it with gdb, I always find myself somewhere inside timing functions in epoll loop, for example:
