I'll try to bisect.
OK, not a kernel regression, but some config change caused it.
However, I'm not able to locate which change exactly.
I'm attaching two configs which I've tried with 4.7.3 - one results in
thousands of kworkers, and the other doesn't. Also included a diff
between them.
Any obvious changes I should try?
The problem is the allocator.
-CONFIG_SLUB=y
+CONFIG_SLAB=y
With SLUB, I'm getting a handful of kworker processes, as expected.
With SLAB, I'm getting thousands of kworker processes.
Not sure if that's expected behaviour or not.
