Runaway CPU investigation for ollama: unknown userspace loop at unresolved offset in libc.so.6

ollama is stuck in a likely unclassified userspace loop: 27.48% of sampled CPU passed through unresolved offset, with repeated thread backtraces show 1 thread(s) around 0x000055c5c39ed143 in ?? () and 1 thread(s) around 0x000055c5c39ed143 in ?? ().

Technical snapshot

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

Representative thread backtrace

  • Command: /usr/local/bin/ollama serve
  • Why Fixer classified it this way: The process is demonstrably CPU-hot, but the current syscall and symbol sample does not point to a single dominant loop family yet.
  • Thread summary: thread backtraces show 1 thread(s) around 0x000055c5c39ed143 in ?? () and 1 thread(s) around 0x000055c5c39ed143 in ?? ()
  • Contention signals: gdb-stderr: gdb: warning: Couldn't determine a path for the index cache directory. warning: .dynamic section for "target:<path>++.so.6" is not at the expected address (wrong library or version mismatch?)
  • Repeated loop: futex -> futex -> futex
  • Top syscalls: futex x51, epoll_pwait x2, restart_syscall x1, waitid x1
  • Kernel: 6.17.10+deb14-amd64
  • Distribution: debian
