What is kthrotld?
I'm struggling to find any documentation online relating to process number 54.
root 54 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S< 11:24 0:00 [kthrotld]
root 11385 0.0 0.0 12944 992 pts/0 S+ 11:30 0:00 grep --color=auto kthrotld
I think it may be a kernel thread. Can anyone advise the purpose of this [kthrotld] and the documentation online where I can look this up?
kernel process ps
