Can anyone tell me what "[ext4-dio-unwr]" is doing in my proccess? There appears to be 3-4 of them, they just suddenly appeared. I googled them, but not much results.

I don't know what to tell you about them, but if you're curious, I'm running ext4 with KDE, and have those processes too.

Those are directIO unwritten workqueue threads. They were probably added in a recent kernel upgrade in response to concern over fsync().
