Process with cpulimit is hung for ever

Rocky Linux Tech Help

Hi,

I am seeing this intermittent behavior in rocky8.9 where i suspect cpulimit is not sending SIGCONT to the child proc and child process is been hung there for days. Any idea what could be the reason ? How do debug this issue?

cmd: cpulimit -l 15 aws s3 cp foo bar

and there is no load on the system and have enough cpu cycles. If i send SIGCONT to the pid then the process is getting executed successfully. We never saw this behavior in centos7.

 sudo strace -p 2558819
strace: Process 2558819 attached
--- stopped by SIGSTOP ---

version: cpulimit-0.2-13.20151118gitf4d2682.el8.x86_64

The first response you will always get here is why you haven’t updated to 8.10, because it is the only supported version. So can you update and check if the issue persists?

By upgrading os to rocky 8.10 i dont see that issue any more but, are there any improvements in rocky 8.10 related to how cpulimit event communication?
