The ofs_Stall is not coming from the OSS but from here:
https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/blob/master/src/XrdOfs/XrdOfsHandle.cc#L203
It appears there's a modest contention on the file descriptor table -- one that does not particularly play well with what appears to be an ad-hoc implementation of a timed lock:
https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/blob/master/src/XrdOfs/XrdOfsHandle.cc#L504
It's not obvious why one would utilize that instead of a wrapper around pthread_mutex_timedlock; it appears the hand-rolled version has similar guarantees as the standard function but worse performance.
