Attachments: Patch to list Uninterruptible processes in the Active filter

Description Neil Gierman 2005-06-05 10:05:16 UTC
In the process table of gnome-system-monitor, if you select "Active" processes
from the filter box, it only shows proccesses that are in the "Running" state.
It does not list processes that are in the "Uninterruptible" state (which IMHO
is still Active)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start gnome-system-monitor
2. Select "Active Processes" from the "Show" filter
3. Start a process that is in the "Uninterruptible" state

Actual Results:  
The process in the Uninterruptible does not list in the Active filter

Expected Results:  
Since an Uninterruptible process is technically Active, it should show up in the
Active Processes filter

Comment 2 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-05 10:55:55 UTC
correct me if i'm wrong, but uninterruptable processes are waiting, not running.
Comment 3 Neil Gierman 2005-06-05 10:58:44 UTC
Well in my particular case my Uninteruptible process was active. Dunno for sure
thou.
Comment 4 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-09-09 19:22:48 UTC
The two wait states are TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.  Both are
wait states, not active.
