This 'Sleeping in function' field was made variable width because the length of current kernel symbols usually exceeded the former top's 9 character limit. As a variable width field it would steal valuable horizontal display positions from other, more likely, displayed fields such as COMMAND or CGROUPS. With the advent of the new 'X' toggle, no fixed-width non-scalable field need suffer permanent truncation. Thus, WCHAN is being made fixed width with a default size of 10 characters.

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
See Documentation/BUGS file.
PACKAGING
If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux
distribution, please avoid causing troubles. This section
applies to you.
Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches. Send your
patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not
included.
Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and
busy enough to bother with, please make this known. Follow
Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via
email without need for an account.
For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags
to the CFLAGS variable.
