hi,ALL: when we used the trinity test the fanotify interfaces, it cause many hungtasks. CONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS=y the shell is simple: 1 #!/bin/bash 2 3 while true 4 do 5 ./trinity -c fanotify_init -l off -C 2 -X > /dev/null 2>&1 & 6 sleep 1 7 ./trinity -c fanotify_mark -l off -C 2 -X > /dev/null 2>&1 & 8 sleep 10 9 done we found the trinity enter the D state fastly. we check the pids'stack [root@localhost ~]# ps -aux | grep D USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 977 0.0 0.0 207992 7904 ?
