Re: using jemalloc in trusty

Hello list:

I've been building my own Ceph Debian Jessie packages (and QEMU too) to get jemalloc support, and in Infernalis I was explicitly setting a dependency in the control file which seemed to work. However, that option is gone in Jewel, replaced with this /etc/default/ceph preload. Without any code changes from default, and enabling the jemalloc line in that file, I'm seeing both libraries in use by every daemon, e.g.:

> ms_pipe_r  8659 31756       ceph  mem       REG              253,0   640600      21056 /usr/lib/libtcmalloc.so.4.2.2
> ms_pipe_r  8659 31756       ceph  mem       REG              253,0   223936       6829 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjemalloc.so.1
> ms_pipe_w  8659 31757       ceph  mem       REG              253,0   640600      21056 /usr/lib/libtcmalloc.so.4.2.2
> ms_pipe_w  8659 31757       ceph  mem       REG              253,0   223936       6829 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjemalloc.so.1

Given the messages in this thread, it seems that the jemalloc library isn't actually being used? But if so, why would it be loaded (and why would tcmalloc *also* be loaded)? And if we still need to add explicit support, does anyone have any advice for how to achieve this?

My build procedure is quite simply:

$ git clone https://github.com/ceph/ceph.git && cd ceph
$ sudo dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -j8

Followed by adding the generated packages to my local repo and standard "apt-get install". And yes, the main Ceph packages have dependencies on "libtcmalloc-*" (just tested trying to remove them).
