Which thread did not do the futex call? The one that was spinning? No, that one
most definitely was, at least according to the stack trace trace you posted:

 trinity-child27-10818 [001] 89790.703547: kernel_stack:         <stack trace>
=> futex_requeue (ffffffff810df18a)
=> do_futex (ffffffff810e019e)
=> SyS_futex (ffffffff810e0de1)
=> tracesys (ffffffff81760be4)  

It did a futex() system call.

Or are you talking about another thread?
