I am trying to find out why my system freezes often. I started process accounting using accton
and when I view the results using sa
I see this line:
376 3.90% 3516.77re 68.71% 0.00u 0.00% 0.22s 24.32% 0avio 0k kworker/dying*
So kworker/dying
is using up a lot of my cpu. I understand that kworker
represents a process doing kernal work, but what does it mean when appended with /dying
?
