Hi, Here is how I understand the current code: When an OSD is missing, recovery is required and the primary OSD will collect the available chunks to do so. It will then call the decode method via ECUtil::decode which is a small wrapper around the corresponding ErasureCodeInterface::decode method. https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/src/osd/ECBackend.cc#L361 The ISA plugin will then use the isa_decode method to perform the work https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/src/erasure-code/isa/ErasureCodeIsa.cc#L212 and will be repeatedly called until all objects in the PGs that were relying on the missing OSD are recovered. To avoid computing the decoding table for each object, it is stored in a LRU cache https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/src/erasure-code/isa/ErasureCodeIsa.cc#L480 and copied in the stack if already there: https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/src/erasure-code/isa/ErasureCodeIsa.cc#L433 Each PG has a separate instance of ErasureCodeIsa, obtained when it is created: https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/src/osd/PGBackend.cc#L292 It means that data members of each ErasureCodeIsa are copied as many times as there are PGs. If an OSD handles participates in 200 PG that belong to an erasure coded pool configured to use ErasureCodeIsa, the data members will be duplicated 200 times. It is good practice to make it so that the encode/decode methods of ErasureCodeIsa are thread safe. In the jerasure plugin these methods have no side effect on the object. In the isa plugin the LRU cache storing the decode tables is modified by the decode method and guarded by a mutex: get https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/src/erasure-code/isa/ErasureCodeIsa.cc#L281 put https://github.com/ceph/ceph/blob/master/src/erasure-code/isa/ErasureCodeIsa.cc#L310 Please correct me if I'm mistaken ;-) I've not reviewed the code yet and try to find problems, I just wanted to make sure I get the intention before doing so.
