This is odd.. epoll_wait says fd 23 is ready for reading, but then Squid
reads on fd 27.
strange indeed, but this is strace output with which I am not very familiar.
Strace should print the whole array that it uses as argument to
epoll_wait or just prints the first element ? (and the 2nd argument
could be FD 27)
Can you please use cachemgr to view the current filedescriptors page to
note what fd 23 & fd 27 is being used for?
I restarted Squid and now it does not loop...
The lsof output in the original email is of little help:

It seems that FD 27 and 28 point to the same object (as FD 23 and FD 26)
Note that FD 27 and FD 28 have the same NODE.
This pipe is used for what ???
Are you using aufs? If so then it's an internal notification channel to
wake up the main thread when disk I/O have completed.
Yes I use aufs.
The EAGAIN return code to read is strange. It suggest that the
read() could return data soon, but Squid is looping now for over 4 hours.
Not strange if fd 27 is the aufs notification pipe.
Well, the strange thing is that it loops and uses 100% CPU.
The strange thing is why it does not act on fd 23 as returned by
epoll_wait.
The strace output lists the parameters at the call time and
we do not see the return values (only the function return value).
Is it possible that FD 27 has an EPOLLERR condition instead of a
EPOLLIN condition and the loop is caused by trying to do read() on FD 27 ?
(I do not see any check for a return of EPOLLERR in the sources).
