Just tried cfq, deadline and noop which more or less all show identical results -----Original Message----- From: ceph-users [mailto:ceph-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Alexandre DERUMIER Sent: 06 March 2015 11:59 To: Nick Fisk Cc: ceph-users Subject: Re: Strange krbd behaviour with queue depths Hi, do you have tried with differents io schedulers to compare ? ----- Mail original ----- De: "Nick Fisk" <nick@xxxxxxxxxx> À: "ceph-users" <ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Envoyé: Jeudi 5 Mars 2015 18:17:27 Objet: Strange krbd behaviour with queue depths I’m seeing a strange queue depth behaviour with a kernel mapped RBD, librbd does not show this problem. Cluster is comprised of 4 nodes, 10GB networking, not including OSDs as test sample is small so fits in page cache. Running fio against a kernel mapped RBD fio --randrepeat=1 --ioengine=libaio --direct=1 --gtod_reduce=1 --name=test --filename=/dev/rbd/cache1/test2 --bs=4k --readwrite=randread --iodepth=1 --runtime=10 --size=1g Queue Depth IOPS 1 2021 2 288 4 376 8 601 16 1272 32 2467 64 16901 128 44060 See how initially I get a very high number of IOs at queue depth 1, but this drops dramatically as soon as I start increasing the queue depth. It’s not until a depth or 32 IOs that I start to get similar performance. Incidentally when changing the read type to sequential instead of random the oddity goes away. Running fio with librbd engine and the same test options I get the following Queue Depth IOPS 1 1492 2 3232 4 7099 8 13875 16 18759 32 17998 64 18104 128 18589 As you can see the performance scales up nicely, although the top end IO’s seem limited to around 18k. I don’t know if this is due to kernel/userspace performance differences or if there is a lower max queue depth limit in librbd. Both tests were run on a small sample size to force the OSD data into page cache to rule out any device latency. Does anyone know why kernel mapped RBD’s show this weird behaviour? I don’t think it can be OSD/ceph config related as it only happens with krbd’s.
