+``THREAD STOPPED STATISTICS``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+``THREAD STOPPED STATISTICS`` reveal the number of instances where the thread
+has been scheduled out while in the running state due to its transition to
+the TASK_STOPPED state.
+
+This behavior can be replicated by manually placing the thread in the stopped
+state and subsequently resuming it. For instance:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+  # kill -STOP $(pidof ovs-vswitchd); \
+    sleep 1; \
+    kill -CONT $(pidof ovs-vswitchd);

+Note that these statistics only count events where the thread was running at
+the time it was put to stopped state.
