Nexus 7000 100% kernel

John Pong
Level 1
Level 1

We monitored different kernel CPU reading using "sh system resources" and "sh proc cpu sort" wherein 100% kernel CPU is observed under "sh system resources" while "sh proc cpu sort" shows a much lesser value. I believe this is bug ID CSCte81951 however I was unable to verify which NX-OS version under the 5.2 release train this is fixed. Any inputs or workaround for this would be highly appreciated.
