@tgabi: This latest log confirms my theory. There are only two situations where the calc_load_tasks counter is incremented: once when each process updates the counter every 5 seconds, and when a processor switches from an uninterruptible task to the idle task. The first increment is always matched with a decrement in the log, while the second only sometimes matches with a decrement. When there isn't a matching decrement due to uninterruptible tasks is when we see the load avg calculated with a non- zero calc_load_tasks.
This may be seen in Karmic but not Jaunty due to this commit: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=dce48a84adf1806676319f6f480e30a6daa012f9. The commit reworks the load avg calculation code, and seems to introduce this regression. -- [karmic] CPU load not being reported accurately https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/513848 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
