[Single OSD performance on SSD] Can't go over 3, 2K IOPS

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

 



Hey all,

It has been a while since the last thread performance related on the ML :p
I?ve been running some experiment to see how much I can get from an SSD on a Ceph cluster.
To achieve that I did something pretty simple:

* Debian wheezy 7.6
* kernel from debian 3.14-0.bpo.2-amd64
* 1 cluster, 3 mons (i?d like to keep this realistic since in a real deployment i?ll use 3)
* 1 OSD backed by an SSD (journal and osd data on the same device)
* 1 replica count of 1
* partitions are perfectly aligned
* io scheduler is set to noon but deadline was showing the same results
* no updatedb running

About the box:

* 32GB of RAM
* 12 cores with HT @ 2,4 GHz
* WB cache is enabled on the controller
* 10Gbps network (doesn?t help here)

The SSD is a 200G Intel DC S3700 and is capable of delivering around 29K iops with random 4k writes (my fio results)
As a benchmark tool I used fio with the rbd engine (thanks deutsche telekom guys!).

O_DIECT and D_SYNC don?t seem to be a problem for the SSD:

# dd if=/dev/urandom of=rand.file bs=4k count=65536
65536+0 records in
65536+0 records out
268435456 bytes (268 MB) copied, 29.5477 s, 9.1 MB/s

# du -sh rand.file
256M    rand.file

# dd if=rand.file of=/dev/sdo bs=4k count=65536 oflag=dsync,direct
65536+0 records in
65536+0 records out
268435456 bytes (268 MB) copied, 2.73628 s, 98.1 MB/s

Disabling all debugging made me win 200/300 more IOPS.

I tried to tweak several parameters like:

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
filestore queue max ops = 2000

But didn?t any improvement.

Then I tried other things:

* Increasing the io_depth up to 256 or 512 gave me between 50 to 100 more IOPS but it?s not a realistic workload anymore and not that significant.
* adding another SSD for the journal, still getting 3,2K IOPS
* I tried with rbd bench and I also got 3K IOPS
* I ran the test on a client machine and then locally on the server, still getting 3,2K IOPS
* put the journal in memory, still getting 3,2K IOPS
* with 2 clients running the test in parallel I got a total of 3,6K IOPS but I don?t seem to be able to go over
* I tried is to add another OSD to that SSD, so I had 2 OSD and 2 journals on 1 SSD, got 4,5K IOPS YAY!

Given the results of the last time it seems that something is limiting the number of IOPS per OSD process.

Running the test on a client or locally didn?t show any difference.
So it looks to me that there is some contention within Ceph that might cause this.

I also ran perf and looked at the output, everything looks decent, but someone might want to have a look at it :).

We have been able to reproduce this on 3 distinct platforms with some deviations (because of the hardware) but the behaviour is the same.
Any thoughts will be highly appreciated, only getting 3,2k out of an 29K IOPS SSD is a bit frustrating :).

Cheers.
