Runaway CPU investigation for python3.13: busy poll at dequeue_entity

python3.13 is stuck in a likely busy poll loop: 100.00% of sampled CPU passed through dequeue_entity, with repeated thread backtraces show 1 thread(s) around 0x00007f1c6e7efe92 in pthread_attr_destroy () from target:<path>.

Technical snapshot

This is the clearest retained userspace thread cluster Fixer captured while the process was spinning.

Representative thread backtrace

  • Command: /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/supervisord -n -c /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf
  • Why Fixer classified it this way: The trace repeatedly returns to a poll-family syscall without meaningful blocking, which suggests a busy event-loop wakeup.
  • Thread summary: thread backtraces show 1 thread(s) around 0x00007f1c6e7efe92 in pthread_attr_destroy () from target:<path>
  • Contention signals: gdb-stderr: gdb: warning: Couldn't determine a path for the index cache directory.
  • Repeated loop: poll -> wait4 -> poll
  • Top syscalls: poll x5, wait4 x5, restart_syscall x1
  • Package: python3.13-minimal 3.13.12-1
  • Kernel: 6.17.10+deb14-amd64
  • Distribution: debian
