>>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)? I think this is because rocksdb is static linked, and use tcmalloc and from jemalloc doc: https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/wiki/Getting-Started "Use the LD_PRELOAD environment variable to inject jemalloc into the application at run time. Note that this will only work if your application does not statically link a malloc implementation." ----- Mail original ----- De: "Joshua M.

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). -- Joshua M. Boniface Linux System Ærchitect Sigmentation fault. Core dumped.
