Runaway CPU investigation for redis-check-rdb: dbus spin at unresolved offset in libc.so.6

redis-check-rdb is stuck in a likely dbus spin loop: 7.11% of sampled CPU passed through unresolved offset, with repeated thread backtraces show 1 thread(s) around 0x00007fbc72ca5ffe in ?? () and 1 thread(s) around 0x00007fbc72ca5ffe in ?? ().

Technical snapshot

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

Representative thread backtrace

  • Command: /usr/bin/redis-server 127.0.0.1:6379
  • Why Fixer classified it this way: The trace is dominated by DBus-style socket activity and DBus-related symbols, which looks like a message-loop spin.
  • Thread summary: thread backtraces show 1 thread(s) around 0x00007fbc72ca5ffe in ?? () and 1 thread(s) around 0x00007fbc72ca5ffe in ?? ()
  • Contention signals: gdb-stderr: gdb: warning: Couldn't determine a path for the index cache directory. warning: "target:<path>": could not open as an executable file: Input<path> error. warning: `target:<path>': can't open to read symbols: Input<path> error. warning: Could not load vsyscall page because no executable was specified
  • Repeated loop: epoll_wait -> openat -> read
  • Top syscalls: epoll_wait x51, close x50, openat x50, read x50
  • Package: redis-tools 5:8.0.6-1
  • Kernel: 6.17.10+deb14-amd64
  • Distribution: debian
