A balance is a single long-lived ioctl call, so the userspace process is living in D state (uninterruptible sleep) until the kernel finishes. I've got a patch that forks the process, and runs the ioctl in the background, returning immediately. I should be able to get it to the list this weekend as part of the userspace side of the balance management patches.
