Thanks for the info - Rafael/Nigel do you have any patches for me to try/modify - I am just curious to see what approach the patches take to fix this - I had started thinking about TASK_SUSPENDED which would be equivalent to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE for all purposes except load calculation (not counted in nr_uninterruptible) but somehow I think there might be a less intrusive / more correct way to do this. > > OTOH I'm not sure it is a problem -- lets just say that suspend is > hard work and therefore it raises load avg? > Pavel Hehe, nope - that would be inefficient suspend for me! Any way I understand it's purely a cosmetic problem but if we could be cosmetically correct to report the right uptime after suspend sans the sleep time (unlike other OSes which include sleep time when reporting it) I think we should also fix this one to report correct load averages.
