using the 4.15.0-041500-generic kernel, the total process count was very
high (473) just after the boot, perhaps something to do with the raid
array resync.
Now doing backup to the external disk, process count seems normal (287).
I still think there is a problem with that process count since older
kernel never showed more than 286 thread in the last year.

Title:
Number of processes exploded after upgrade to 4.13.0-32-generic
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
After an update from 4.10.0-40-generic to 4.13.0-32-generic (ubuntu
16.04 + hwe kernel), the number of process when doing IO on my machine
has exploded.
Before the update, maximum number of process : 284
After the update, doing a simple rsync to an external disk : 771
The system is now unstable and crashes. The processes are hundreds of
"kworker".
Please let me know if there is something more needed.
