Re: Significant slowdown of osds since v0.67 Dumpling

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Jumping in pretty late on this thread, but I can confirm much higher CPU load on ceph-osd using 0.67.1 compared to 0.61.7 under a write-heavy RBD workload. Under my workload, it seems like it might be 2x-5x higher CPU load per process.

Thanks,
Mike Dawson

Ok, I now also ran this test on Cuttlefish as well as Dumpling.

As you can see, the result is virtually identical.  What jumps out
during the cached tests, is that the CPU used by the OSDs is negligible
in both cases, while without caching, the OSDs get loaded quite well.
Perhaps the cache masks the problem we're seeing in Dumpling somehow?
And I'm not changing anything but the OSD-binary during my tests, so
cache-settings used in VMs are identical in both scenarios.


Hmm, 10k ios I guess is only 10 rbd chunks.  What replication level
are you using?  Try setting them to 10000000 (you only need to set the
xfs ones).

For the rand test, try increasing
filestore_wbthrottle_xfs_inodes_hard_limit and
filestore_wbthrottle_xfs_inodes_start_flusher to 10000 as well as
setting the above ios limits.

Ok, my current config:
         filestore wbthrottle xfs ios start flusher = 10000000
         filestore wbthrottle xfs ios hard limit = 10000000
         filestore wbthrottle xfs inodes hard limit = 10000
         filestore wbthrottle xfs inodes start flusher = 10000

Unfortunately, that still makes no difference at all in the original
standard-tests.

   "filestore_wbthrottle_btrfs_inodes_hard_limit": "5000",
   "filestore_wbthrottle_xfs_inodes_hard_limit": "10000",

As you can see, your suggested settings made little difference anywhere
after you let it settle and in the end, there is still a huge difference
in performance between Cuttlefish and Dumpling.  Caching seems to mask
the problem, though, at least with the type of IO generated by these
tests.  It also reduces CPU-usage by the OSDs to almost none.

I am dumb.  There *has* been a change in the osd which can account for

Can you run 3 tests?
1) rerun with --rbd-cache (rbd bench-write test --rbd-cache)

That flies, with very little load on the OSDs.  That load is much higher
without caching.  This test was on Dumpling.  You get the idea.

    10    128946  12894.02  3557625.15

2) rerun without rbd-cache, but add the following configs to the osds:
filestore_wbthrottle_xfs_ios_start_flusher = 10000
filestore_wbthrottle_xfs_ios_hard_limit = 10000
filestore_wbthrottle_btrfs_ios_start_flusher = 10000
filestore_wbthrottle_btrfs_ios_hard_limit = 10000

That didn't seem to change the results in any way on Dumpling.  I'm
running the OSD-storage on XFS, BTW.

3) rerun with the random pattern (rbd bench-write test --io-pattern=rand)

With Dumpling, it starts out high, then drops off:

Weird that the config-options didn't change anything.  I had hoped to
try them on the production-cluster.  Anything I could try there?  Had to
revert the OSDs there to Cuttlefish again for now, as Dumpling is just
too slow.

I expect 1) to largely eliminate the difference (these are sequential
4k ios and should be coalesced into much bigger writes).  2) should
basically restore the same filestore behavior as in cuttlefish.  3)
should also show little difference since the io will be random.

In normal use, your vms should probably be using rbd caching anyway
(in addition to the write coalescing already occurring in the guest
os), so this may not be what you are seeing on your cluster.

Hey Samuel,

I repeated the same test several times before my post and just now 2
more times.  It holds up and is also repeatable in reverse order, with
the same results.  Remember, I restart all OSDs between tests, so any
caches should get destroyed and besides, I'm writing.  That shouldn't
involve very large-scale caching, right?  I also waited for the cluster
to come to a healthy state after restarting the OSDs, so it's not
related to rebalancing or peering-activity, either.

As you can see, the difference is quite dramatic and this confirms it's
probably something RBD-related.  The test-cluster is a standard 3-node
cluster with 3xMON, 3xMDS, 3xOSD, tied together with 2x1Gbit/s ethernet.
I replaced only the OSD-binary for these tests.  The rest of the
Ceph-installation is at Dumpling.

Hey Samuel,

I had a good run on the production-cluster with it and unfortunately, it
still doesn't seem to have solved the problem.  It seemed OK for a while
and individual OSD CPU-usage seemed quite low, but as the cluster's load
increased during the day, things got slower again.  Write-performance
within a VM crawled to 30MB/sec and at some point, I got only 10MB/sec
on reads in that same VM.  I also did RADOS bench-tests with `rados
--pool rbd bench 120 write' and those got several hundreds of MB's/sec
on the same cluster at the same time of day, so maybe the problem is
RBD-related.  Is there any code in the OSD that could influence
RBD-performance alone?  Do you know of any other significant changes to
the OSD between Cuttlefish and Dumpling that could result in this?

PS: I also did the same RADOS bench-tests on my test-cluster, both with
Cuttlefish and Dumpling without your fix and got almost identical
results.  This confirms that the problem might be in RBD, as Mark suggested.

Hey Mark,

Sorry, but after some more tests I have to report that it only worked
partly.  The load seems lower with "wip-dumpling-pglog-undirty" in

with "wip-dumpling-pglog-undirty" in place, things slow down way too

I see lots of new differences, but again don't know what to make of it

this time, amongst others.  Let me know if you need more info.

Hi Oliver,

Glad that helped!  How much more efficient do the cuttlefish OSDs seem
at this point (with wip-dumpling-pglog-undirty)?  On modern Intel
platforms we were actually hoping to see CPU usage go down in many cases
due to the use of hardware CRC32 instructions.

Hey Samuel,

Thanks!  I installed your version, repeated the same tests on my
test-cluster and the extra CPU-loading seems to have disappeared.  Then
I replaced one osd of my production-cluster with your modified version
and it's config-option and it seems to be a lot less CPU-hungry now.
Although the Cuttlefish-osds still seem to be even more CPU-efficient,
your changes have definitely helped a lot.  We seem to be looking in the
right direction, at least for this part of the problem.

BTW, I ran `perf top' on the production-node with your modified osd and
didn't see anything osd-related stand out on top.  "PGLog::undirty()"
was in there, but with much lower usage, right at the bottom of the
green part of the output.

Many thanks for your help so far!

You're right, PGLog::undirty() looks suspicious.  I just pushed a
branch wip-dumpling-pglog-undirty with a new config
(osd_debug_pg_log_writeout) which if set to false will disable some
strictly debugging checks which occur in PGLog::undirty().  We haven't
actually seen these checks causing excessive cpu usage, so this may be
a red herring.

Hey all,

This is a copy of Bug #6040 (http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/6040) I
created in the tracker.  Thought I would pass it through the list as
well, to get an idea if anyone else is running into it.  It may only
show under higher loads.  More info about my setup is in the bug-report
above.  Here goes:


I'm running a Ceph-cluster with 3 nodes, each of which runs a mon, osd
and mds. I'm using RBD on this cluster as storage for KVM, CephFS is
unused at this time. While still on v0.61.7 Cuttlefish, I got 70-100
+MB/sec on simple linear writes to a file with `dd' inside a VM on this
cluster under regular load and the osds usually averaged 20-100%
CPU-utilisation in `top'. After the upgrade to Dumpling, CPU-usage for
the osds shot up to 100% to 400% in `top' (multi-core system) and the
speed for my writes with `dd' inside a VM dropped to 20-40MB/sec. Users
complained that disk-access inside the VMs was significantly slower and
the backups of the RBD-store I was running, also got behind quickly.

After downgrading only the osds to v0.61.7 Cuttlefish and leaving the
rest at 0.67 Dumpling, speed and load returned to normal. I have
repeated this performance-hit upon upgrade on a similar test-cluster
under no additional load at all. Although CPU-usage for the osds wasn't
as dramatic during these tests because there was no base-load from other
VMs, I/O-performance dropped significantly after upgrading during these
tests as well, and returned to normal after downgrading the osds.

I'm not sure what to make of it. There are no visible errors in the logs
and everything runs and reports good health, it's just a lot slower,
with a lot more CPU-usage.

Hi Oliver,

If you have access to the perf command on this system, could you try
running:

"sudo perf top"

And if that doesn't give you much,

"sudo perf record -g"

then:

"sudo perf report | less"

during the period of high CPU usage?  This will give you a call graph.
There may be symbols missing, but it might help track down what the OSDs
are doing.

Thanks for your help!  I did a couple of runs on my test-cluster,
loading it with writes from 3 VMs concurrently and measuring the results
at the first node with all 0.67 Dumpling-components and with the osds
replaced by 0.61.7 Cuttlefish.  I let `perf top' run and settle for a
while, then copied anything that showed in red and green into this post.

What jumps right out, is the "PGLog::undirty()", which doesn't show up
with 0.61.7 at all, but is an extra drag right at top-usage in 0.67.
Note that I didn't manage to fully load the test-cluster CPU-wise,
because of network-constraints and I don't want to take any extra risks
on the production-cluster and test it there, but it seems we found a
possible culprit.

Any ideas?  Thanks again!
