Background information: (for the strace output)
-----------------------------------

The strace output confirms the bash process is stuck in the epoll_pwait system call. This indicates it's waiting for events from an epoll instance. Here's how to interpret the output and troubleshoot further:

Understanding epoll_pwait:

epoll_pwait: This system call waits for events on an epoll instance. It's a mechanism for efficient I/O waiting in applications.
The arguments to epoll_pwait specify the epoll instance, timeout values, and number of events to wait for.
Analysis of strace Output:

The process repeatedly calls epoll_pwait with a timeout (values like 182, 220, etc.).
Between calls, it uses clock_gettime to get the current time. This suggests the process isn't receiving expected events and keeps waiting with timeouts.
