[Bug 1488426] Re: High CPU usage of kworker/ksoftirqd

 

HI guys, I'm being bit by this too in Ubuntu 15.10. I have a System76
Lemur (2015, Skylake) and one of my cores is always at 90% or above
usage, unless I plug in a USB device, in which case the problem goes
away.

I tried installing kernel 4.3 from the mainline repo, but with that
kernel, my system won't even boot at all.
