Any one has kworker high cpu usage ?
Any idea how to solve it ?


 
Code:
PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND
 1797 root      20   0       0      0      0 S  44.9  0.0   0:53.41 kworker/3:16
 6504 root      20   0       0      0      0 R  21.0  0.0   0:40.13 kworker/3:2
 6751 m1        20   0  0.170t 1.165g 0.982g S   5.6 15.0   1:27.05 ethminer


kworker is kernel worker, assigned tasks for kernel to process. i was researching a bit about this high usage but there's so much info to go trough... i postpone it for when i find more spare time Wink
apparently this problem affects ubuntu more than other distros and has been known for years but not resolved yet.
sometimes it's very high cpu usage, sometimes drops to normal values...
