--- Comment #15 from Eduard Kohler (glandvador@yahoo.com) ---
I encounter the same issue on a stock fedora 37 kernel
# uname -a
Linux xxx.net 6.4.16-100.fc37.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Sep 13 18:2=
2:38
UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The issue seems to be present also on brtfs partitions, as mentioned in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3D2242391

In my case, I have an EXT4 partition over an mdadm raid 1 array of two HDD.

In order to trig the 100% CPU on one core, a simple=20
# for i in {0001..0200}; echo "some text" > "file_${i}.txt"
is enough. This will bring the kworker/flush at 100 % for around 90 seconds.
This time is dependent of the number of created files. Trying to delete the=
se
files is more or less impossible.

On the same setup I have a small SSD used for system installation. The same
test doesn't bring the kworker/flush behaviour.
