[Bug 1452614] [NEW] Kworker using 100% CPU

 

Public bug reported:

On a fresh vivid install, the kworker process is using a constant 100%
of one of 4 virtual cores. I can work around this issue by following the
following guide: http://askubuntu.com/questions/176565/why-does-kworker-
cpu-usage-get-so-high and it's the same issue as in #1087010

GPE13.

This also happened on 13.10, I had to apply the same workaround back
then.
