How can I put process into "uninterruptible sleep"?
I''m noticed that process that dumping a core is in uninterruptible sleep, so it can''t be killed with SIGKILL, but when I''m trying to emulate this behavior using pipe commands that receives coredump I can
How to stop ''uninterruptible'' process on Linux?
I have a VirtualBox process hanging around which I tried to kill (KILL/ABORT) but without success. The parent pid is 1 (init). top shows the process as D which is documented as "uninterruptible sl...
Why doing I/O in Linux is uninterruptible?
In short, making I/O uninterruptible is for the purpose of making the I/O task finish ASAP, without being interfered by signals. Some related knowledge that I gained from the
Does read/write blocked system call put the process in TASK
The Uninterruptible state is mostly used by device drivers waiting for disk or network I/O. When the process is sleeping uninterruptibly, signals accumulated during the
Linux Process States
A process performing I/O will be put in D state (uninterruptable sleep), which frees the CPU until there is a hardware interrupt which tells the CPU to return to executing the program. See
Does read/write blocked system call put the process in TASK
The Uninterruptible state is mostly used by device drivers waiting for disk or network I/O. When the process is sleeping uninterruptibly, signals accumulated during the sleep are noticed when
Do we need to call set_current_state (TASK
Yes, you must call set_current_state() before calling schedule(), because otherwise the scheduler will not remove the task from the run queue (if you just want to
Why there is a state called ''TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE'' in Linux
As you could read from that answer, setting the current process state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE is needed for make schedule() call, performed by that thread, to

understand perfetto Uninterruptible Sleep
Uninterruptible Sleep usually caused by I/O, sometime it''s caused by I/O trashing because of low memory. Only by looking your perfetto trace can figure it out.
