[Bug 1318116] Re: kworker uses 100% CPU when nfs-kernel-server is active
Problem exists in the 3.13 kernel you linked me to:
Linux hostname 3.13.11-03131102-generic #201405081435 SMP Thu May 8 18:36:07 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Title:
kworker uses 100% CPU when nfs-kernel-server is active
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
I have a clean install of 14.04 on an i7-860 with 16GB RAM.
I'm using NFS to share a home directory. The volume is ~2TB,
formatted JFS, and it has a single client.
I recently noticed that I had a [kworker] process using 100% CPU:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
9253 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 99.9 0.0 0:30.17 [kworker/3:1]
Rebooting didn't help.
After some troubleshooting I found that it went away immediately when
I stopped the nfs-kernel-server daemon. When I start it, it comes
back after a minute or two, still using 99-100% CPU. The load goes
away when the client is turned off and the NFS server is restarted,
but it comes back as soon as it reconnects.
The only line in /etc/exports is:
/home 192.168.1.0/24(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
