TOP发现系统负载整体很低，但CPU2的sys占用率很高在90%以上，查看当前正在运行的进程发现kipmi0进程占用率达到100%。
IPMI的初步认识：IPMI是智能型平台管理接口（Intelligent Platform. Management Interface）的缩写，是管理基于Intel结构的企业系统中所使用的外围设备采用的一种工业标准，[PATCH] limit CPU time spent in kipmid (version 4)

通过Patch的说明以及Patch中最后的参数介绍：当kipmid占用较多CPU时，可以将kipmid_max_busy_us设置100-500。
邮件原文如下，是为了降低kipmid的开销Hi all,
I am sorry for the long silence. I am sending here a new version of my patch which takes into account Bela's suggestions (well, most of them).
I compiled and tested it with 2.6.29.4, the results are similar as before. By setting kipmid_max_busy_us to a value between 100 and 500, it is possible to bring down kipmid CPU load to practically 0 without loosing too much ipmi throughput performance.
Please give me some feedback whether this patch will get merged, and if not, what improvement is needed.
Regards
Martin
Kipmid的开销与其实现有关，暂时不深入究，不过可以通过Patch看到通过设置kipmid_max_busy_us来影响kipmid的调度策略，进而降低CPU的占用率。
看一下网上对ipmi占用CPU问题的说明：
Fix：不需要修复 No fix required. You should ignore increased CPU utilization as it has no impact on actual system performance.利用空余的CPU资源进行一些接口自动调节的任务。
临时降低（立即生效，cpu占用率降到10%以内）：
echo 100 > /sys/module/ipmi_si/parameters/kipmid_max_busy_us
永久性降低（修改配置文件，模块/系统重启生效）
To make the changes persistent you can configure the options for the ipmi_si kernel module. Create a file in /etc/modprobe.d/, i.e./etc/modprobe.d/ipmi.conf, and add the following content: # Prevent kipmi0 from consuming 100% CPU
echo "options ipmi_si kipmid_max_busy_us=100">/etc/modprobe.d/ipmi.conf
