Hello, I have strange issuses with nginx workers. For some time after start
Nginx I notice that some process of workers cause high load to CPU (
principally sys CPU). 

At first I've got syscall traces from one of such process: 

futex(0x157d914, FUTEX_WAKE_OP_PRIVATE, 1, 1, 0x157d910, {FUTEX_OP_SET, 0,
FUTEX_OP_CMP_GT, 1}) = 1
epoll_wait(38, {{EPOLLIN, {u32=7156096, u64=7156096}}}, 512, -1) = 1
epoll_ctl(38, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, 178, {EPOLLOUT|EPOLLET, {u32=3888102096,
u64=140028411886288}}) = 0
epoll_wait(38, {{EPOLLOUT, {u32=3888102096, u64=140028411886288}}}, 512, -1)
= 1
epoll_ctl(38, EPOLL_CTL_DEL, 178, 7ffda2bc7f30) = 0
futex(0x157d914, FUTEX_WAKE_OP_PRIVATE, 1, 1, 0x157d910, {FUTEX_OP_SET, 0,
FUTEX_OP_CMP_GT, 1}) = 1
epoll_wait(38, {{EPOLLIN, {u32=7156096, u64=7156096}}}, 512, -1) = 1
epoll_ctl(38, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, 178, {EPOLLOUT|EPOLLET, {u32=3888102096,
u64=140028411886288}}) = 0
epoll_wait(38, {{EPOLLOUT, {u32=3888102096, u64=140028411886288}}}, 512, -1)
= 1
epoll_ctl(38, EPOLL_CTL_DEL, 178, 7ffda2bc7f30) = 0
futex(0x157d914, FUTEX_WAKE_OP_PRIVATE, 1, 1, 0x157d910, {FUTEX_OP_SET, 0,
FUTEX_OP_CMP_GT, 1}) = 1
futex(0x157d8d0, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1

epoll_wait, epoll_ctl, futex are repeated circularly.

Then I've got lsof of process and see who owns of 38 file descriptor:

nginx   18862  www   38u  a_inode                0,9         0         6
[eventpoll]

also I see several CLOSE_WAIT sockets

and using for video streaming.

Has anyone encountered such behavior ? Help please.
