Note: For kernel work, I only use and compile kernels from the main kernel.org git branch. I steal the Ubuntu kernel configuration.
The issue of a high number of kworker threads does not exist in kernel 4.6, but does in 4.7-rc1. When using "SLUB" it is a little difficult to detect on my Yakkety test Laptop, however it is fairly easy to detect on my 16.04 server. When using "SLAB" it is trivial to detect on either computer. A bisection is going to take: "Bisecting: 5788 revisions left to test after this (roughly 13 steps)" Which I can only get to on about Tuesday or Wednesday. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1626564 Title: 4.8 regression: SLAB is being used instead of SLUB To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1626564/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
