 Hello,

 Getting somewhat worried as we use this for infrastructure since many years. 
 I've set up test and is trying to reproduce it. 

 I'm running forwarding ~9.4 Gigabit/s @ 1.2 pkts sec and fib_lookups 40-200.000
 lookups per sec. Routing table has 280.000 entries this is loaded/unloaded 
 via ip route with -batch to give load for insert/delete.

 A script is continuesly adding/removing the routing table under this load. 
 The time to install the full table is ~10 sec and same time to remove
 (without netfilter ~5 sec) And this during this constant traffic load.

 The scripts and routing tables:
 ftp://robur.slu.se/pub/Linux/net-development/trie-test/

 Drivers are niu, ixgbe Netfilter modules loaded but no filters. Kernel 
 2.6.29-r2. 

 No problems seen for 3 hours but I'll let this run overnight

 One difference to your config I see is PREEMPT. We use use 
 CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y with the router/servers.

 Cheers
