I'm learning how the kernel handles interrupt.
Reading shichao's notes, I've found that events/n threads handle the work queue.
At the same time, some documents in the internet (for example, this post), say like this
"kworker" is a placeholder process for kernel worker threads, which perform most of the actual processing for the kernel, especially in cases where there are interrupts, timers, I/O, etc.
They seem similar for me and I'm a little confusing: are events/n threads and kworker threads same? If so, has events/n been renamed to kworker? If not, what is the difference between events/n and kworker?
I can find kworker (ex, kworker/1:0) through htop, but I can't see events/n.
