Subject: 2.6.35-rc3: Load average climbing to 3+ with no apparent reason:
CPU 98% idle, with hardly no I/O
Hi,
I just noticed that my load average is 2.99 and climbing (it is 3.11
right now).
CPU is 98% idle, with hardly any I/O at all so I don't know what is
causing this:
10:32:55 up 1:01, 5 users, load average: 3.28, 3.31, 3.09
$ vmstat 5

This happens with 2.6.35-rc3-00001-g6bdebf9 (where the -00001 patch is
this bugfix required for networking to work at all: "net: fix deliver_no_wcard regression on loopback device")
I have attached the output of cfs-debug-info.sh: cfs-debug-info-2010.07.01-10.29.57.gz
I don't see anything special in dmesg, just the continous reset of ata9 (CDROM) that I reported about already:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/27/83
Could this cause load average calculation to go wrong?
