Hi,

I am running "ubuntu server updated:2016-11-24" and my Orange Pi Zero always shows four process in I/O WAIT aka D state:

  1. # ps aux
  2. USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
  3. root        35  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        D    Dec10   0:33 [usb-hardware-sc]
  4. root        58  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        D    Dec10   0:00 [vsync proc 0]
  5. root        59  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        D    Dec10   0:00 [vsync proc 1]
  6. root        63  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        D    Dec10   0:00 [schw]
  7. ... snip....

  8. # uptime
  9. 10:59:17 up 1 day, 23:14,  1 user,  load average: 4.81, 4.72, 4.69

  10. # uname -a
  11. Linux OrangePi 3.4.39 #46 SMP PREEMPT Wed Nov 9 09:50:08 CST 2016 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux
Copy code

This is very inconvenient because of invalid load reported in uptime or top command

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks

Most likely it is a misconfig in platform hardware. Buggy USB otg port did the same thing on A10-A20 devices.
For H3 chips platform config is done by modifying script.bin (*.fex then fex2bin) and placing it to a boot partition.
I don't have OPI zero, so I don't know what do you have to modify for H2+ platform.
The other suggestion - maybe you should try a mainline kernel...
