IMHO there must be tested in different glibc. Old glibc has optional
"experimental" threaded extensions for malloc, default disabled (and have no
options to enable even in Gentoo without hack, may be some distros was compiled
so - don't know). But now this malloc features mostly ON by default, so all
related to distro.

It would be really interesting if you could give jemalloc a try. Originally
tcmalloc was used to get around some serious memory fragmentation issues in the
OSD. You can read the original bug tracker entry from 5 years ago here:
http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/138
It's definitely possible that glibc malloc has improved since back then. I
think jemalloc is definitely worth considering. It appears to be a little
slower than tcmalloc when tcmalloc is working well, but far more consistent and
likely faster than glibc.

We already had the migratepages in place before we disabled tcmalloc. It

Disabling tcmalloc made immediate difference but there were still spikes
and the latency wasn’t that great. (CPU usage was)
Migrating memory helped a lot after that - it didn’t help (at least not
the visibly on graphs) when tcmalloc was used - it’s overhead was so
large NUMA didn’t matter at all.
But we are running Dumpling, so it is possible other bottlenecks that
were resolved in later (Giant) releases would once again overshadow the
gain we got from disabling tcmalloc or there would be regression from
disabling it.
… or our setup/workload is somehow completely different from what
somebody else has?

From what I understand, you probably got most of your reduction from
co-locating your memory to the right NUMA nodes. tcmalloc/jemalloc should be
much higher in performance because of how they hold memory in thread pools
(less locking to allocate memory) and they try much harder to reuse dirty
free pages so memory stays within the thread again reducing locking for
memory allocations.
I would do some more testing along with what Ben Hines mentioned about
overall client performance.

There were essentialy three things we had to do for such a drastic drop
1) recompile CEPH —without-tcmalloc
2) pin the OSDs to a set of a specific NUMA zone - we had this for a long
time and it really helped
3) migrate the OSD memory to the correct CPU with migratepages
- we will use cgroups in the future for this, should make life easier and
is the only correct solution
It is similiar to the effect of just restarting the OSD, but much better -
since we immediately see hundreds of connections on a freshly restarted OSD
(and in the benchmark the tcmalloc issue manifested with just two clients in
parallel) I’d say we never saw the raw performance with tcmalloc
(undegraded), but it was never this good - consistently low latencies, much
smaller spikes when something happens and much lower CPU usage (about 50%
savings but we’re also backfilling a lot on the background). Workloads are
faster as well - like reweighting OSDs on that same node was much (hundreds
of percent) faster.
So far the effect has been drastic. I wonder why tcmalloc was even used when
people are having problems with it? The glibc malloc seems to work just fine
for us.
The only concerning thing is the virtual memory usage - we are over 400GB VSS
with a few OSDs. That doesn’t hurt anything, though.

Did you see what the effect of just restarting the OSDs before using
tcmalloc? I've noticed that there is usually a good drop for us just by
restarting them. I don't think it is usually this drastic.

Still on dumpling, btw...
