Comment # 3 on bug 1205698 from Chang Seok Bae

I don't see any hang on my side -- stopping the daemon via systemctl when a
burst of Netlink events coming from the kernel:

...
/var/log/syslog:Jan  3 16:55:50 d8bbc18b833c /usr/sbin/irqbalance: thermal:
event - CPU 22, efficiency 1, perf 1.
/var/log/syslog:Jan  3 16:55:50 d8bbc18b833c /usr/sbin/irqbalance: thermal:
event - CPU 23, efficiency 1, perf 1.
/var/log/syslog:Jan  3 16:55:50 d8bbc18b833c systemd[1]: Stopping irqbalance
daemon...
/var/log/syslog:Jan  3 16:55:50 d8bbc18b833c systemd[1]: irqbalance.service:
Deactivated successfully.
/var/log/syslog:Jan  3 16:55:50 d8bbc18b833c systemd[1]: Stopped irqbalance
daemon.


BTW, looks like that whitelisting is needed. Without that, I got these:
...
/var/log/syslog:Jan  3 15:55:14 d8bbc18b833c /usr/sbin/irqbalance: thermal:
socket bind failed.
/var/log/syslog:Jan  3 15:55:14 d8bbc18b833c /usr/sbin/irqbalance: Failed to
initialize thermal events.

Also, curious about which CPU model you had that issue with.

Thanks,
Chang
