Hello,

I write again the content of my last E-mail to you, for my smartphone has got only a small display and therefore a quit tiny keyboard...

Whenever Tor from rosa2016.1 (Rosalabs.ru) and/or Enterprise Linux 6 is starting, at least three kernel-processes start too and/or become more than active (CPU capacity lies by more than 10 percent, making my orange LED on the tower blinking a lot)!

So they have got root-rights!

Their name is like kworker-kcryptd/..., dmcrypt/... and uksmd, but this is not their complete name.

I do not want this activity as they irritate a lot in possibly causing high and highest risks!

Tests have shown, that no data seems to get transferred over the net, but knows the hell, what's really going on here....

Is it worth a patch for you, can you resp. your foundation patch it?

I would appreciate this.

Regards, Andreas

I also like to tell you, that this Tor is surrounded by firejail from pclos, this is PCLinuxOS 2021. The processes get permanently highly active for about five (5) minutes. The LED on the tower for read and write on storage media is really blinking madly hard all this time, while the process-manager confirms the whole mysterious process-activities! After this time, Tor and surfing in the internet with the browser do work fine as much as the rest of the Linux. So I have to wait several minutes. Does it have to do with one of the last patches of 5.4, for example the one for dmcrypt? Anyhow I use full system encryption by LUKS, that might matte here.
