Pawel, here is a patch which changes this function (or what it calls)
back to 2.6.28 version; I'm not sure it's OK, so try it very
cautiously...

Cheers,
Jarek P.

I added this patch 30min ago - all is working but problem still exist.

There is only one change - without this patch cpu load was rising from 
40 to 50%
With this patch there is 15 to 25% cpu load.

Today i make other tests with change of 
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/rt_cache_rebuild_count and kernel 2.6.30.1

And when rt_cache_rebuild_count is set to "-1" i have always load on 
x86_64 machine approx 40-50% of each cpu where network card is binded by 
irq_aff

when rt_cache_rebuild_count is set to more than "-1" i have 15 to 20 sec 
of 1 to 3% cpu and after 40-50% cpu

I attach some oprofile output for
rt_cache_rebuild_count = 4 - oprofile_rt_cache_rebuild_count_4.txt
and
rt_cache_rebuild_count = -1 - oprofile_rt_cache_rebuild_count_-1.txt


Regards
Pawel Staszewski
