Issue/Introduction

high CPU leading to hung SS 
Pstacks show CsPort::prune_pconns_by_proximity()
Grafana shows CPU is periodic going from 100% idle to 100% in use and staying there for extended periods.

Environment

Release : 21.2

Component : Spectrum Discovery & Modeling

Cause

ADisc found too many potential connections for layer2 discovery. During the pruning process, it went through a busy loop. 

Resolution

21.02.02.D28 has been created for this issue. It will improve the code to let the thread schedule.

    REQUIREMENTS

        SPECTRUM 21.02.00 and 21.02.02 are the prerequisites for installation of this patch.

 This patch needs to be installed on SpectroSERVER.
