Currently in schedstats we have sum_sleep_runtime and iowait_sum, but there's no metric to show how long the task is in D state. Once a task in D state, it means the task is blocked in the kernel, for example the task may be waiting for a mutex. The D state is more frequent than iowait, and it is more critital than S state. So it is worth to add a metric to measure it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
