https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1207807 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1207807#c13 --- Comment #13 from Michal Kube��ek <mkubecek@suse.com> --- Extracted vmmon module source can be found in this repository: https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules Branch "workstation" contains unpatched source from VMware, it's just unpacked tarballs from Workstation installers, tags "w${version}" mark snapshots from different versions (the latest is w17.0.1). However, these modules are only a small part of the implementation, most of the hypervisor is in userspace binary which is not open source. Some more links of discussions about the issue: https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/VMWare-workstation-... https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/kcompacd0-using-100... https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/679706/kcompacd0-using-100-cpu-with... But those mostly gather empirical workarounds, AFAICS. My personal experience so far is that I hit the issue few times and both disabling THP and setting vm.vm/compaction_proactiveness=0 worked around it when it happened. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
