Hello,
I've googled a bit and saw that other people have this problem too, but without solution.
What do these processes do? Slow down you computer, eat up RAM ...?
If I'm not mistaken, kworker is a kernel task used to defer work from interrupt handlers into a task context. There used to be 1 kworker per cpu but workqueue design has changed. You can learn by reading Documentation/workqueue.txt in the kernel documentation package. Usually, kworkers are used by device drivers, you could maybe check if downgrading your kernel helps and narrow down the issue to a particular release. ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY : This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and may be privileged.
