The local WebServer stalls ~1.02 s about every 2 s under sustained load, and a client-side measurement cannot say whether the loop was waiting in accept() or busy elsewhere -- the ticket's first diagnostic. Time each accept-loop iteration in two parts, parked in accept() versus busy outside it, and time the per-request stat of the sdcard debug database, which is FUSE-backed emulated storage and is the leading suspect for a slow iteration delaying the next accept. One warn line is logged per iteration that crosses ServerConfig.stallThresholdMs (200 ms by default), carrying the previous iteration's split so a stall can be attributed to the loop or exonerated. Kept independent of the webserver.debug sentinel on purpose: its ~10 log lines per request perturb the timing being measured, and the ticket's next step is to re-run with the sentinel removed. A long park in accept() is normal on an idle server, so it is reported only when the previous park was short -- i.e. during the sustained load where the stall lives, not when a user simply stopped browsing.

- Around line 299-304: Update the stalledBeforeAccept condition in the
accept-loop reporting logic to require a preceding busy stretch, using
previousBusyNanos >= stallThresholdNanos alongside the existing accept-wait
transition check. Keep stalledWhileBusy independent and preserve the existing
early return behavior.
- Around line 55-56: Validate that stallThresholdMs is strictly positive before
converting or using it in the accept-loop diagnostic logic, rejecting zero and
negative values while preserving valid thresholds. Add coverage for both zero
and negative inputs, targeting the stallThresholdMs configuration and
stalledWhileBusy behavior.

Review found two false positives in the accept-wait half of the report, and both were real: the carried previous-wait started at zero, which reads as an iteration that was served instantly, so the first request after startup was always reported -- on the device it logged "74552 ms parked in accept()" for exactly that reason -- and a long wait after any genuine pause looked the same. The wait now has to look like what ADFA-5172 is about: at least the threshold, no more than 10 s (Linux retransmits a SYN at 1 s, 3 s and 7 s, so past that it is nobody browsing), and preceded by an iteration that was served promptly. A sentinel distinguishes "no iteration has finished yet" from one that waited 0 ms. The decision moved into shouldReportAcceptWait() so it is testable, and it now has tests: the stall itself, each false positive that prompted this, the retransmission ladder, an ordinary wait, and the degenerate threshold. A negative stallThresholdMs is clamped to zero rather than reported as an error -- it is a diagnostic knob, and a nonsense value should not throw. Zero has a quirk worth knowing, so it is documented and tested rather than engineered around: it reports every iteration's serving time, but silences the accept-wait half, whose "the last iteration was served promptly" test cannot hold when the threshold is zero.

Review asked for both. The loop was a try inside a try inside a while, with two catch blocks each nesting conditionals two deep, and a finally doing three unrelated jobs. It is now eight lines: accept, serve, close. The pieces became functions that each do one thing -- acceptNextClient() returns null only when the listening socket closed and retries any other accept failure, serveClient() serves one connection and answers a 500 if handling fails partway, sendInternalServerError(), closeQuietly(), and isSocketClosed() for the string test that a closed socket forces on us. Two side effects worth noting. The socket can no longer be null inside the loop, so the old comment defending a log line that could print "null" is gone with the line it defended; the replacement logs the socket it actually served. And the timings the loop carried in locals are now fields, which is honest about what they always were: state belonging to the single accept thread, not to one iteration. The report's filtering contract now has boundary tests, both ends inclusive: one millisecond under the threshold, exactly on it, one over; 9,999 / 10,000 / 10,001 ms against the ceiling; and the previous wait counting as steady load right up to the threshold. Round values well inside each range said nothing about whether the comparisons were inclusive, which is exactly what a later edit flips silently.

Instruments the local WebServer's accept loop, which is what ADFA-5172 asked for, and reports what it found: the stall is not ours.
What it adds
One
warnline per accept-loop iteration that crossesServerConfig.stallThresholdMs(200 ms by default), splitting each iteration into parked inaccept()versus busy outside it, and timing the per-requeststatof the sdcard debug database — the leading suspect, since that path is FUSE-backed emulated storage and a slow iteration delays the next accept.Deliberately independent of the
webserver.debugsentinel: its ~10 log lines per request perturb the timing being measured, and the ticket's second diagnostic is to re-run without it.A long park in
accept()is normal on an idle server, so it is reported only when the previous park was short — during the sustained load where the stall lives, not when someone stops browsing.What it found
Reproduced on a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (Android 13), 3000-request run, mean 19.8 ms against a 6.8 ms median, max 1052 ms — the reported signature. Every one of the 36 stall lines looks like this:
Parked in
accept()for the whole ~1.00–1.03 s; the previous iteration busy 4–12 ms; the FUSE stat 0–1 ms. So the loop was ready and waiting, which rules out the ticket's hypotheses 2 (the stat blocking the serial loop) and 3 (GC/freezer).Where the time actually goes: curl's own phase breakdown gives
time_namelookup20 µs andtime_connect1.02 s — the whole delay is connection establishment. Kernel counters diffed around one run:TCPSynRetrans40,TCPTimeouts40,ActiveOpens3040 againstPassiveOpens3000, andIp:InReceives - Ip:InDelivers= 40. Exactly one handshake packet per stall is dropped below TCP, where netfilter/eBPF drops land;ListenOverflows/ListenDropsstayed zero, so it is not the backlog. Linux's ~1 s initial RTO explains the exact magnitude.It reproduces with no CoGo process involved — a toybox
nclistener on the same loopback, driven by 6 parallel clients, took 101 stalls in 1800 connections (max 3.1 s, RTO backoff). Sequential runs at ~22 conn/s saw zero in 4500 connections across shell-uid/app-uid and IPv4/IPv6 listeners. The drop rate tracks the new-connection rate, not our socket or our UID.Full analysis, tables and counters are on the ticket.
