Description Wolfgang Rosenauer 2023-10-20 18:08:09 UTC 
Analyzed why my idle current TW system shows a constant load of around 7 since a while. (already before the latest update)
This is running
6.5.6-1-default #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Oct  6 11:20:48 UTC 2023 (c97c2df) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I found it's most likely 7 cifsd-cfid-laundromat threads in D state which again looks like
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/457a5483c3c4ca5bb6c7ec6f4231074c.pc@manguebit.com/#r

I mount a few CIFS filesystems to my system from a NAS and a Raspi.

Hi Wolfgang,

Thanks for the report.

I've created a TEST kernel with the fixes backported

  https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:pauloac:kernel-bsc1216453/kernel-default

Please let me know if it works for you.

Using this kernel I do not see any such process in D state anymore. Load according to top is back to normal.

Thanks for testing it.

FYI, all those fixes have been queued up for v6.5 stable tree

  https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZTplC1_qJYL1wR2G@sashalap/

I'll update the bug when those fixes make their way to tumbleweed kernel.
Comment 4 Paulo Alcantara 2023-11-16 20:15:39 UTC 
Wolfgang,

Latest tumbleweed kernel (6.6.1-1-default) contains all fixes provided
by TEST kernel package from comment #1.  Please upgrade.

Feel free to re-open bug if you're still able to reproduce it.

Closing.
