IO stall/hang with ceph 10.2.7 on Arch Linux
Added by Jamin Collins over 6 years ago.
Updated over 6 years ago.
Description
On Arch Linux, starting with ceph 10.2.5 I noticed that VMs using ceph/rbd backed volumes experience a complete I/O stall when attempting to access the ceph/rbd volume.
I've replicated the hang with ceph 10.2.6 and 10.2.7. The later 10.2.x releases will not build on Arch due to ICEs.
I've also found that a development build from the 12.1.x series (git reference g171104cb93) does not exhibit the IO hang.
I've also filed an Arch Linux bug report for this: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/55044

@Jamin: nothing unusual in that log from a librbd perspective -- it just looks like write requests were sent out but never completed. First guess would be file descriptor limits. Second would be perhaps some type of cephx permission issue (since it complained about loading the keyring). Otherwise, I would re-run w/ "debug objecter = 20" included as well.
When you tried different versions, are you only changing the librbd/librados version or are you changing the OSDs as well?
The only change being made is the ceph package version on the VM host.
I believe the cephx permissions can be ruled out as the VM definition is not change between tests, same secret, etc.
All the storage nodes (OSD hosts) are left completely unchanged between tests.
One of the threads appears to hang:

Any chance you can install the debug packages, re-run, attach gdb to the process, and run "thread apply all bt" once you experience the deadlock?
I'm assuming you wanted me to attach to the qemu process.
@Jamin: it looks like you have lots of threads hung inside jemalloc attempting to allocate memory. This thread in particular is in a location where the last set of logs indicated things just stopped:

That's odd memory is not an issue on this host. It's got 32G of RAM with nothing else currently running on it.
$ free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 31998 2289 8271 1 21437 29270

The above is with the hung VM (from the gdb backtrace) still running.
$ free -m

One more time with formatting (sorry about that).
- Status changed from Need More Info to Resolved
Appears to be some sort of jemalloc / glibc issue on Arch -- running QEMU built under glibc malloc does not result in IO hanging.
@Jason Borden indicated that he doesn't normally see ceph/rbd running under jemalloc. Digging into Arch's qemu package, I found they explicitly enable jemalloc. Rebuilding Arch's qemu package without jemalloc appears to resolve this IO hang.
Resolving ticket.
