Comment 7 for bug 1626564

Note: For kernel work, I only use and compile kernels from the main kernel.org git branch. I steal the Ubuntu kernel configuration.

The issue of a high number of kworker threads does not exist in kernel 4.6, but does in 4.7-rc1.
When using "SLUB" it is a little difficult to detect on my Yakkety test Laptop, however it is fairly easy to detect on my 16.04 server. When using "SLAB" it is trivial to detect on either computer.

A bisection is going to take:

"Bisecting: 5788 revisions left to test after this (roughly 13 steps)"

Which I can only get to on about Tuesday or Wednesday.
