linux 2.2.18 with VM-global patch 128MB RAM AMD K6-3/366 Star Office 5.2
I exiting StarOffice, and a little later noticed my loadavg display widget was showing a high load average. top reports it at 6.
Poking about, I found all the soffice.bin processes still hanging around.
Looking with top, all the soffice.bin processes are in the 'D N' state. In top's 'no idle' mode they are listed.
The CPU is hanging around 97% idle, the loadavg has been sitting at 6+ for almost 15 minutes. It seems likely this state will continue forever.
I tried a 'kill' on all the soffice.bin process and there was no change. a 'kill -9' also had no effect.
What is going on?
Shouldn't I be able to tear down the processes?
Here is status on the soffice.bin process with the lowest PID:
# cat /proc/5294/status Name: soffice.bin State: D (disk sleep) Pid: 5294 PPid: 775 Uid: 101 101 101 101 Gid: 101 101 101 101 Groups: 101 0 10 228 229 500 VmSize: 103600 kB VmLck: 0 kB VmRSS: 49588 kB VmData: 13008 kB VmStk: 1104 kB VmExe: 88 kB VmLib: 73604 kB SigPnd: 0000000000004100 SigBlk: 0000000080000000 SigIgn: 8000000000001000 SigCgt: 00000003bfc064ff CapInh: 0000000000000000 CapPrm: 0000000000000000 CapEff: 0000000000000000
