11.2.0.4 RAC cluster, random LMS process spins CPU and stays high:

 

In this example, for the following period, LMS1 is using 100% of CPU most of the time: 

zzz ***Tue Mar 17 16:35:03 PDT 2015
79535 oracle -2 0 900g 465m 21m R 100.0 0.0 5:08.01 oracle
...
zzz ***Tue Mar 17 18:31:40 PDT 2015
79535 oracle -2 0 900g 472m 21m R 99.4 0.0 120:01.20 oracle

 

And it used far more CPU than any other LMS for the same instance:
