Bug#436471: linux-2.6: using lvs_sync_daemon makes the load increase by 1.0 (fixed upstream)
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-5-amd64
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-17
Followup-For: Bug #436471
Just bumping this report. I'm experiencing the same problem with the
latest etch kernel right now on x86_64. My research brought me to the
exact same patch URL the first submitter provided. LXR seems to indicate
this went into the mainline 2.6.20 kernel, and hasn't changed yet through
2.6.23.x. It's a very simple bugfix. Four lines containing "ssleep(1)"
are replaced by "msleep_interruptable(1000)". In the case of
bidirectional synchronization, without this fix my machines have their
load artificially increased by 2.0, with nothing at all apparent in top
or in the standard CPU stats to explain it. Please backport this into
the etch kernel.
