Lots of stuff going on here, but the big thing is all the time spent in
librbd::ImageCtx::write_to_cache.  70.2% of the total time in this
thread is
spent in ObjectCacher::writex with lots of nested stuff, but if you
look all
the way down on line 1293, another 11.8% of the time is spent in
Locker()
and 1.5% of the time spent in ~Locker().

Yes -- the ObjectCacher is long overdue for a re-write since it's
single threaded. It looks like you were essentially performing
writethrough as well. I'd imagine you would just be better off
disabling the rbd cache when doing high-performance random write
workloads since you are going to get zero benefit from the cache with
that workload -- at least that's what I usually recommend.


Often I do turn rbd cache off for bluestore testing.  This was an older
conf file where I inadvertently hadn't disabled it.  Still, it's an
unfortunate choice that has to be made, potentially by someone other
than the user running the workload. :/

Yep, disabling rbd cache bumped 4K write IOPS from ~14K to ~31K, and closer ~36-37K with a higher IO depth at around 410% CPU usage.

trace without rbd cache here:

looking a lot better, though thread 5 (tp_librbd) is still pegging. Still a little bit of locking in various places. a bit more time shifted into _calc_target.

async msgr is as expected a lot busier than it used to be.
