    Re: Periodic high CPU load on ubuntu server 23.04, I need help with diagnostics and f

    Hi!

    I have iommu enabled in the system, so my plan is to pass my GPU to VM and test it there, first for reproduction and then solution. I saw this issue before I updated the kernel (now running latest) also... yes the ps output is strange, but I can see CPU usage in top and also as system load.
    Also running the original script once again shows

    Code:
     1000  0.0  0.0 00:00:10      \_ sshd 
     1000  0.0  0.0 00:00:04              \_ virt-ssh-helper 
     1000  0.0  0.0 00:00:00 systemd 
     1000  0.0  0.0 00:00:00          |       \_ sort 
     1000  0.0  0.0 00:00:00          \_ sh 
     1000  0.0  0.0 00:00:00  \_ (sd-pam) 
     1000  0.0  0.0 00:00:00          |       \_ ps 
     1000  0.0  0.0 00:00:00          |       \_ head 
     1000  0.0  0.0 00:00:00          |   \_ capture_bug.sh 
     1000  0.0  0.0 00:00:00  \_ bash 
     1000  0.0  0.0 00:00:00          \_ bash

    Previous logs reported ~12% of usage for those processes, so that's something
    I'll try to prepare a VM with PCI passthrough and will see what will happen.

    Hi!

    It took me a while, but here I am. Sadly no real progress had been made, newer kernel didn't change a thing and GPU passthrough is quite an overkill in my situation because it is my only GPU and I don't really know how it will work with my KVM... probably not so well as there will be no graphics to show me. So right now my plan is to, ehem, ignore those spikes and hope that newer kernel fixes the problem.
