Subject: top misinforming with threads in the mix
Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2005 13:57:39 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <42E687A3.9090003@davyandbeth.com> (raw)
Hi,
I wrote a process that spawns a thread and then the thread just goes to
town using CPU (on purpose) while the main process waits on it.
On linux-2.6.3 and top 3.1.15 top shows that the machine is 0% idle, but
it does not show any processes taking any significant CPU time.
However, things show fine on linux-2.6.11 with top 3.2.5
Does anyone know if this was a top deficiency or something the kernel
wasn't reporting correctly?
Thanks,
Davy
