Title:
  kworker consumes system

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  There are multiple mentions of kworker consuming a system but not enough information to act on. We had to shut down the system with 20+ instances of kworker. Any idea of how or what to expect in term of a fix or a means to stop the proliferation of the process?
  We are using the latest Natty in the clasic mode on a x86 32 bit machine.
  We don't even know what the kworker is supposed to accomplish and there is no system documentation.
