Hi Petr, this is a side effect of libuv threadpool which inherits the name of the “parent” thread (but then it’s shared between all of them).
If you use gdb on the `named`, you’ll see that those extra threads are waiting for work in the uv threadpool: (gdb) bt #0 futex_wait_cancelable (private=0, expected=0, futex_word=0x7feaf147d22c <cond+44>) at ../sysdeps/nptl/futex-internal.h:186 #1 __pthread_cond_wait_common (abstime=0x0, clockid=0, mutex=0x7feaf147d1c0 <mutex>, cond=0x7feaf147d200 <cond>) at pthread_cond_wait.c:508 #2 __pthread_cond_wait (cond=cond@entry=0x7feaf147d200 <cond>, mutex=mutex@entry=0x7feaf147d1c0 <mutex>) at pthread_cond_wait.c:638 #3 0x00007feaf146ab19 in uv_cond_wait (cond=cond@entry=0x7feaf147d200 <cond>, mutex=mutex@entry=0x7feaf147d1c0 <mutex>) at ./src/unix/thread.c:780 #4 0x00007feaf1458d4d in worker (arg=0x0) at ./src/threadpool.c:76 #5 0x00007feaf1248ea7 in start_thread (arg=<optimized out>) at pthread_create.c:477 #6 0x00007feaf114bdef in clone () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/clone.S:95 Perhaps somebody might want to fill issue with the libuv, so it resets the internal thread names.
