Tracking Linux kworker threads

How to find out which part of kernel/module has created this workqueue. How to track a kworker-thread named for example ''kworker/0:3 to its origin in kernel-space? I found  this thread on lkml  that answers your question a little. (It seems even Linus himself was puzzled as to how to find out the origin of those threads.) Basically, there are two ways of doing this: $ echo workqueue:workqueue_queue_work > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe > out.txt (wait a few secs) For this you will need  ftrace  to be compiled in your kernel, and to enable it with: mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug More information on the function tracer facilities of Linux is available in the  ftrace.txt documentation . This will output what threads are all doing, and is useful for tracing multiple small jobs. cat /proc/THE_OFFENDING_KWORKER/stack This will output the stack of a single thread doing a lot of work. It may allow you

Copy_to_user or copy_from_user instead of memcpy

Lets take a look at it, shall we? copy_to/from_user boils down to __copy_user in arch/i386/lib/usercopy.c: #define __copy_user(to,from,size) \ do { \ int __d0, __d1, __d2; \ __asm__ __volatile__( \ " cmp $7,%0\n" \ " jbe 1f\n" \ " movl %1,%0\n" \ " negl %0\n" \ " andl $7,%0\n" \ " subl %0,%3\n" \ "4: rep; movsb\n" \ " movl %3,%0\n"
