Description of problem:

This is a dell latitude laptop e6530 with fedora 23 x86_64 up to date. Randomly, the laptop becomes sluggish and top reveals process kworker using 100% cpu. On system journal and dmesg I can see a kernel trace:

Last time this happened the laptop was not using ethernet, so I'm not sure why the kernel trace points to e1000e.

*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************
 
We apologize for the inconvenience.  There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 23 kernel bugs.
 
Fedora 23 has now been rebased to 4.7.4-100.fc23.  Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.
 
If you have moved on to Fedora 24 or 25, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 24 or 25.
 
If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

Comment 3 javiermon 2016-10-17 11:17:58 UTC
I've upgraded the laptop to fedora 24 and I haven't experienced this issue anymore. Feel free to close the bug.
