                          I'm using Linux Ubuntu 20.04.

I have a process with PID 21:

    PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU  %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND
    21  root      20   0       0      0      0 S   0.0   0.0   0:00.01 kdevtmpfs

After running either of
- sudo pkill -9 21
- sudo kill 21

the process is still visible in the outputs of top or ps aux.

How can I kill it?
