[Bug 887793] Re: Kworker constantly taking about 100% CPU
Without doing anything to my machine, the problem went away. However,
on my Lenovo T61P where it occurred, when kworker took a lot of CPU,
threeof the 11 thermometers the laptop has was red. For two of them,
when the laptop is working hard, they are normally red so that was
usual. But the 3rd one, I never saw it red, thus suggesting that
kworker had something to do with a piece of hardware which usually does
not work as hard. Now that kworker is quiet, this thermometer is back
into blue, normal temperature.
Don't ask me what the thermometers are for, they are only labeled
numerically.

If I run top there is a Kworker constantly taking much CPU, I don't
know how to research where this comes from.
