Hello 

I've recently upgraded my ceph cluster from 0.94.1 to 0.94.3 and noticed that 
after about a day i started getting the emails from our network/host monitoring 
system. The notifications were that there are too many processes on the osd 
servers. I've not seen this before and I am running ceph for good part of three 
years now. Taking a look at the osd server revealed a large number of kworker 
processes. The number fluctuates between about 200 and 700, but generally stays 
around 400+ mark. 

I've restarted the osd processes, which has dropped the number of kworker 
processes to about 60, but after about 20-30 minutes they were back up in the 
600 region. 

Has anyone noticed a similar behavior? How can I determine what's causing such 
a high number kworkers? 

There was no other change to the OS apart from the ceph upgrade. The kernel and 
system libraries remained the same. 

Thanks 

Andrei
