Hi John,

This is android HAL layer service and also before bug, i am seeing lot of service exited in logs also,
although not seeing for this pid 6807

.452202:   <2> init: starting service 'limits-hal-1-0'...

  49749.460039:   <2> init: property_set("ro.boottime.limits-hal-1-0", "61591320967789") failed: property already set

  49749.607496:   <6> sh (2422): drop_caches: 3

  49750.281635:   <6> sh (2422): drop_caches: 3

  49750.533853:   <2> init: Untracked pid 6811 exited with status 0

And why it is parked , that is not clear as state is already updated of task.

Regards

Gaurav
