Subject: CMWQ workqueue questions

Hi,

I was trying to understand the workqueues in more details:

e.g. it is given

kworker/u4:0
kworker/0:0

What does u4:0 represents and similarily 0:0 represents. I was glancing into the code when pool->cpu>0, there is u appended.

Can you please explain u4:0 and 0:0 (what does it represent) in workqueue kworker?
Regards,

D. Raj 		 	   		  --
