Title:
  kworker uses 70-90% of a CPU core (hyperthreaded)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I see high cpu usage from a kworker thread. Usually kworker/0:1 or kworker/0:2. I tested various kernels from Ubuntu and mainline (3.5.0-x, 3.6.x, 3.7.0-rcx) and they all showed the same behavior. This does not always happen.
  I wasn't able to determine on which basis it happens. Some observations that may as well be wrong (duh!):
  On some boot all is fine but once it shows, no matter how many reboots it does not seem to want to go away again.
  The laptop seems to have to rest a while to have a chance that it won't happen.
  If it does not happen a reboot will show the behavior.

  I saw similar bug reports in various places but it seems that this can
  have a multitude of causes and the presented workarounds or fixes did
  not apply to me.
