--- Comment #1 from Konstantin Belousov <kib@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to yjh0502 from comment #0)
I do not see a clean indicator that the process 'spins on the kqueue syscal=
l'.=20
The wait channel demonstrates that the process waits for some event subsyst=
em
mutex (the star before the name), but due to the truncated output, I am not
sure which mutex is it.  It could kqueue lock, or kqueue global lock, for
instance.

That said, WCPU 100% indicates that there is some other thread in the proce=
ss
which consumes cycles, which is consistent with the report of four threads =
in
the process.

>From that data, I am not even convinced that this is a kernel bug and not s=
ome
application issue.  For very beginning, look at the kernel backtraces of all
threads in your process with procstat -kk.  Find and backtrace the lock own=
er
of a kqueue lock.  All that assuming that you believe that the issue is a
kernel problem.  Otherwise, and I would start with that route, would I debu=
g it
myself, is to look at the app and see what it is doing (wrong).
