Abnormal CPU usage - Okio Watchdog

Question

I am using OkHttp (first the original verison, then I upgraded to OkHttp3), some users of my App have been reporting significant battery life loss when the App isn't running.

I ran a profiler and this is the result:

As you can see, Okio Watchdog is running the whole time. At roughly the halfway point, my App is fully in the background. There are no HTTP tasks taking place at this point in time. I started profiling after the last HTTP task ended.

Is it normal that the Watchdog runs throughout like that? If so, am I right in assuming this thread is causing a lot of battery waste? If it isn't normal, could something like a leaked Context keep the Watchdog running?

The Watchdog code runs here, it seems like to runs without a termination condition:

private static final class Watchdog extends Thread {
    public Watchdog() {
        super("Okio Watchdog");
        setDaemon(true);
    }

    public void run() {
        while (true) {
            try {
                AsyncTimeout timedOut = awaitTimeout();

                // Didn't find a node to interrupt. Try again.
                if (timedOut == null) continue;

                // Close the timed out node.
                timedOut.timedOut();
            } catch (InterruptedException ignored) {
            }
        }
    }
}

Looks like a severe & unexpected bug in Okio. I'll try to reproduce & fix. If you're able to produce this consistently, please comment on this bug!
