Subject: Sleep_on_buffer
Date: Sat, 6 Feb 2016 00:05:19 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9529508C-FA00-4F3A-8872-0EC43882C36C@gmail.com> (raw)


Hi,


    I see this(sleep_on_buffer) in the /proc/<pid>/wchan for a process, could some one help me understand what does this exactly mean? Around this time the thread was actually trying write to the console. The status of the process from /proc says "Disk Sleeping" 

   
Thanks,
Harish
