Hello, I'm Servet. I have a problem with my asus laptop for 3 years. Ksoftirqd and kworker use %100 of the cpu after resuming from the suspend and the hibernation mode. For example; Ksoftirqd/1 %42, kworker/1:0 %29, kworker/1:1 %28 .( probably they use only one core) I'm not an expert. nonetheless I tried to pick some error messegas to ease your work. I suspended the machine. then I pressed a key to resume. Before the computer is completely ready, I pressed consistently 'ctrl+alt+F1' . I saw some messages on the black screen. ata1: ACPİ set timing mode failed (status: 0x300b) ata3.00 : exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen ata3.00 : failed command :READ VERİFY SECTOR(S) cmd: 40/00:01:00:00:00/00:00:00:00/e0 tag 0 res: 40/00:01:00:00:00/00:00:00:00/40 Emask:0x4 (timeout) pm_op():scsi_bus_resume_common+0x0/0x60 returns 134217730 PM: Device 2:0:0:0 failed to resume async:error 134217730 Other messages that I picked randomly...

İt may help... I'm not attaching any log file to the mail. My first message with 20 files attached didn't reach the list. I think İt was blocked. İf you need more information, please tell me simply. Bestow me to spend your time. And for my low level English. Best regards.
