处于S状态的进程

 

A process in S state is usually in a blocking system call, such as reading or writing to a file or the network, or waiting for another called program to finish.

You can use strace -p <pid> to find out which system call is currently happening. It will produce output like

write(1, "foobar"..., 4096

which means that the process is trying to write 4096 bytes starting with "foobar" to stdout (fd #1) but whatever it has been redirected into is busy and the output buffer is full.

 

The strace output may indicate that the main process is just waiting for child processes to finish their work. If so, you could try running

strace -f -p 5075

to trace the child processes as well.

 

But in some case, for process, the CPU usage consists of many short bursts below the 1s time granularity for Top. Which means it the usage counter gets updated but Top does not see the "R" state since it is too short.
