Mio, if you want an upstream developer to review your problem and submit a fix patch, you *need* to file a *new* upstream report as previously advised (not continue to post here on Launchpad). Otherwise your issue may never be addressed.

Usually kworker/0:1 or kworker/0:2. This does not always happen. On some boots all is fine but once it shows, rebooting does not make it go away.
