Subject: processes generated by kthreadd

Is there a resource that provides description details of all available kernel
daemons potentially created by kthreadd?  Example:

q5p4k0@...sm ~ % ps -f --ppid 2|head
UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
root         3     2  0 09:22 ?        00:00:01 [ksoftirqd/0]
root         5     2  0 09:22 ?        00:00:00 [kworker/0:0H]
root         7     2  0 09:22 ?        00:00:00 [migration/0]
root         8     2  0 09:22 ?        00:00:23 [rcu_preempt]
root         9     2  0 09:22 ?        00:00:00 [rcu_bh]


Though not on the example list above, I understand that
"flush-MAJOR:MINOR" flushes dirty pages to disk when available memory
reaches a configured minimum threshold.  How can I obtain a
description of all valid kthreadd generated kernel processes?!
Thanks in advance for any help.
