Mark, Are you trying with multiple physical clients and with increased OSD shards? Simple should go way more with the similar config for 4K RR based on the result we were getting earlier unless your cpu is getting saturated at the OSD nodes.

After doing a bunch of bisection, it turns out that this caused a fairly dramatic decrease in bluestore random read performance. This is on a cluster with fairly fast NVMe cards, 16 OSDs across 4 OSD hosts. There are 8 fio client processes with 32 concurrent threads each. Ceph master using bluestore Parameters tweaked: ms_async_send_inline ms_async_op_threads ms_async_max_op_threads simple: 168K IOPS send_inline: true async 3/5 threads: 111K IOPS async 4/8 threads: 125K IOPS async 8/16 threads: 128K IOPS async 16/32 threads: 128K IOPS async 24/48 threads: 128K IOPS async 25/50 threads: segfault async 26/52 threads: segfault async 32/64 threads: segfault send_inline: false async 3/5 threads: 153K IOPS async 4/8 threads: 153K IOPS async 8/16 threads: 152K IOPS So definitely setting send_inline to false helps pretty dramatically, though we're still a little slower for small random reads than simple messenger. Haomai, regarding the segfaults, I took a quick look with gdb at the core file but didn't see anything immediately obvious. It might be worth seeing if you can reproduce. On the performance front, I'll try to see if I can see anything obvious in perf.
