They're kernel threads.

[jbd2/%s] are used by JBD2 (the journal manager for ext4) to periodically flush journal commits and other changes to disk.

[kdmflush] is used by Device Mapper to process deferred work that it has queued up from other contexts where doing immediately so would be problematic.

Thanks. Are the schedules of these flushes configurable? If so, how? –  Beaming Mel-Bin Dec 7 '10 at 12:23
