It seemed that ksmbd is part of the kernel instead of a separate process. So it's impossible to kill it should it goes haywire.

I tried to rmmod (remove module) ksmbd, but it didn't work.

Is it better NOT to compile ksmbd into the kernel if Samba is to be enabled/disabled via the WEBUI?

And when a kernel module goes haywire, it could cause the kernel to panic and hence reboot???

BTW, where is kworker? Smile
Code:
lsmod

"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. These typically correspond to the vast majority of any allocated "system" time to running processes.
