Hi, I am a little new to this area, so seeking expert advice. I have created "delayed works" using "INIT_DELAYED_WORK" for each core on my system and a corresponding work_queues using "create_freezable_workqueue". Now what I have some work getting scheduled on this queues. What I observe is that top command shows CPU being taken by kernel threads as below- PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ #C WCHAN COMMAND 101 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 9.6 0.0 63:16.29 6 worker_th [kworker/6:1] 104 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 9.6 0.0 70:53.11 3 worker_th [kworker/3:1] 105 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 9.6 0.0 84:45.37 2 worker_th [kworker/2:1] 1451 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 9.6 0.0 67:25.71 14 worker_th [kworker/14:1] 1452 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 9.6 0.0 62:55.86 13 worker_th [kworker/13:1] 1453 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 9.6 0.0 67:43.90 12 worker_th [kworker/12:1] 100 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 9.3 0.0 60:41.05 7 worker_th [kworker/7:1] 103 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 9.3 0.0 62:39.62 4 worker_th [kworker/4:1] 1450 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 9.3 0.0 59:29.10 15 worker_th [kworker/15:1] 13928 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 9.3 0.0 0:21.43 1 worker_th [kworker/1:1] 13933 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 9.3 0.0 0:14.36 0 worker_th [kworker/0:2] 97 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 9.0 0.0 54:43.59 10 worker_th [kworker/10:1] 102 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 9.0 0.0 61:08.43 5 worker_th [kworker/5:1] 96 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 8.6 0.0 50:55.86 11 worker_th [kworker/11:1] How, do I know if this is for the work that I have created and its taking that much CPU. Also, while creating the work_queues I have a name to them. How to relate that name here in top. Any help will be highly appreciated.
