I’m experiencing major instability issues with the latest version of Clear Linux running on an Intel Core Ultra 7 165U.
When the CPU reaches maximum usage (e.g., playing an 8K video), the following message appears in the system logs (dmesg
):
[ 1046.585064] workqueue: delayed_fput hogged CPU for >10000us 4 times, consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND
[ 1052.575655] workqueue: delayed_fput hogged CPU for >10000us 5 times, consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND
[ 1062.587594] workqueue: delayed_fput hogged CPU for >10000us 7 times, consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND
[ 1078.587977] workqueue: delayed_fput hogged CPU for >10000us 11 times, consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND
[ 1085.616539] workqueue: delayed_fput hogged CPU for >10000us 19 times, consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND
[ 1116.417241] workqueue: delayed_fput hogged CPU for >10000us 35 times, consider switching to WQ_UNBOUND
At this point, the entire system begins to lag significantly - including mouse input. Even after terminating the high-CPU process, the lag persists until the system is rebooted.
Has anyone encountered this issue or knows what might be causing it? Any advice or fixes would be appreciated.
