Subject: Kernel migration eat CPUs

Hi,

Beginning from 3.7 including 3.10 kernel, I noticed that from time to
time all CPUs turn out to be busy 100% and at the moment websites of my
clients work slowly or don’t work at all.

All CPUs are busy with kernel threads migration for about 3-5 minutes.
Exactly how often it periodically happens I don’t know, but it happens
once in 1-3 hours.

Approximately 30 my servers work on kernel 2.6.35 and there’s no such
problem there. We use kernels 3.7 – 3.9 on 5 servers and I see such
effect everywhere. If you downgrade on 2.6.35, then migration doesn’t
eat CPUs.

These servers are used for usual LAMP shared hosting.

Can I get migration as if on the kernel 2.6.35 or can this feature be
disabled?
