Expected higher Load Average on CloudLinux OS with kmod-lve v. 2.1-56+

Incident Report for CloudLinux

Identified

After updating the kernel and kmod-lve, a CloudLinux server may start reporting a high load average, even though CPU, IO, and vmstat metrics do not suggest any load problems. Our kernel developers have investigated this and determined that the increased load average is normal and reflects the actual figures.
