HI Adam,
That may be my fault. I'm not quite sure. Can your try the latest
development branch of nginx_upstream_check_module(
https://github.com/yaoweibin/nginx_upstream_check_module/tree/development)?
Thanks for your report.

> We use Nginx as a reverse proxy. After 2 or 3 reloads (kill -HUP), the
> parent's one child worker process remains "stuck"; the parent spawns a
> new one which is also often "stuck."
>
> The number of worker_processes we have configured is 1. After a reload,
> there are 2 workers in the process list. After another reload, 3
> workers, and so on. Usually all of these workers are in state R. When we
> strace them, we see no system calls, but they are sucking on user CPU.
> They are unable to serve requests. One time (seen in detail below), a
> new worker was spawned and it was *not* in state R, but state S, and was
> able to serve requests, until we issued another reload.
>
> Of course what should happen is, after a reload, we should only ever
> have one worker process which is able to serve requests.

> log of the reproduction case if needed.
