I tried booting with the nohz=off setting and this is what I observed, Initially after logging in, the CPU usage was perfectly normal,
However after a couple of hours, the laptop went into power saving mode due to inactivity and then when I resumed it, ksoftirqd was back in action taking 80-90% of my CPU, following is the output of the "top" command in my terminal: - PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 7 root 39 19 0 0 0 S 100 0.0 5:21.58 ksoftirqd/1 -- ksoftirqd eats all cpu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49141 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
