[4.0.x] radiusd process CPU spikes at 400% when trying to do DHCP concurrently

[Chaigneau, Nicolas]

Hello,


Using FreeRADIUS 4.0.x (HEAD from today), I've tried to set up a dummy (very dumb) DHCP server, which offers random IP addresses (unlang only).
This is with a build in non developer mode (configured with --disable-developer), with default configuration (except for the dummy DHCP virtual server - see file attached).


Sending a few DHCP Discover packets (about 100 is enough) concurrently:

The radiusd process CPU spikes up to 400% (8 CPU are available), and then stays here forever.
If the packets are sent sequentially there is no problem.


Something's definitely wrong, but I don't know how to look into this...

I can reproduce this behaviour easily, so I can test things if you want me to.


Regards,
Nicolas.
