After hibernating-resuming cycle I get strange vmstat output: === [pf@spock]:[~][0]% vmstat procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ----cpu---- r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 4294967295 0 0 12262312 51716 1016868 0 0 23 25 269 296 8 1 91 0 === As you see 4294967295 is abnormal. Same report came from another user: === There is a problem though, now after hibernate-resume vmstat often displays 4294967295 (0xFFFFFFFF) as the first value (The number of runnable processes), in addition to normal values like 0, 1, etc.. So the kernel gives wrong process statistics. (I couldn't catch this bogus value in /proc/stat where it supposedly comes from, though. Probably because each time I looked at the file the process that I used for this was counted as runnable by the kernel, thus resetting the number of runnable processes to zero.) I definitely don't observe this behaviour before hibernation. And I don't remember having this issue at the times of older kernels (3.5? 3.2?) when hibernation was usable to me. === How can I help to get that fixed? _______________________________________________ TuxOnIce-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.tuxonice.net/listinfo/tuxonice-devel
