Re: ceph-fuse segfaults ( jewel 10.2.2)

Hi All...

I've seen that Zheng, Brad, Pat and Greg already updated or made some comments on the bug issue. Zheng also proposes a simple patch. However, I do have a bit more information. We do think we have identified the source of the problem and that we can correct it. Therefore, I would propose that you hold any work on the issue until we test our hypothesis. I'll try to summarize it:

1./ After being convinced that the ceph-fuse segfault we saw in specific VMs was not memory related, I decided to run the user application in multiple zones of the openstack cloud we use. We scale up our resources by using a public funded openstack cloud which spawns machines (using always the same image) in multiple availability zones. In the majority of the cases we limit our VMs to (normally) the same availability zone because it seats in the same data center as our infrastructure. This experiment showed that ceph-fuse does not segfaults in other availability zones with multiple VMS of different sizes and types. So the problem was restricted to the availability zone we normally use as our default one.

2./ I've them created new VMs of multiple sizes and types  in our 'default' availability zone and rerun the user application. This new experiment, running in newly created VMs, showed ceph-fuse segfaults independent of the VM types but not in all VMs. For example, in this new test, ceph-fuse was segfaulting in some 4 and 8 core VMs but not in all.

3./ I've then decided to inspect the CPU types, and the breakthrough was that I got a 100% correlation of ceph-fuse segfaults with AMD 62xx processor VMs. This availability zone has only 2 types of hypervisors: an old one with AMD 62xx processors, and a new one with Intel processors. If my jobs run in a VM with Intel, everything is ok. If my jobs run in AMD 62xx, ceph-fuse segfaults. Actually, the segfault is almost immediate in 4 core AMD 62xx VMs but takes much more time in 8-core AMD62xx VMs.

4./ I've then crosschecked what processors were used in the successful jobs executed in the other availability zones: Several types of intel, AMD 63xx but not AMD 62xx processors.

5./ Talking with my awesome colleague Sean, he remembered some discussions about applications segfaulting in AMD processors when compiled in an Intel processor with AVX2 extension. Actually, I compiled ceph 10.2.2 in an intel processor with AVX2 but ceph 9.2.0 was compiled several months ago on an intel processor without AVX2. The reason for the change is simply because we upgraded our infrastructure.

6./ Then, we compared the cpuflags between AMD 63xx and AMD62xx. if you look carefully, 63xx has 'fma f16c tbm bmi1' and 62xx has 'svm'. According to my colleague, fma and f16c are both AMD extensions which make AMD more compatible with the AVX extension by Intel.

63xx
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt pdpe1gb lm rep_good extd_apicid unfair_spinlock pni pclmulqdq ssse3 fma cx16 sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic popcnt aes xsave avx f16c hypervisor lahf_lm cmp_legacy cr8_legacy abm sse4a misalignsse 3dnowprefetch osvw xop fma4 tbm bmi1

62xx
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt pdpe1gb lm rep_good extd_apicid unfair_spinlock pni pclmulqdq ssse3 cx16 sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic popcnt aes xsave avx hypervisor lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm cr8_legacy abm sse4a misalignsse 3dnowprefetch osvw xop fma4

All of the previous arguments may explain why we can use 9.2.0 in AMD 62xx, and why 10.2.2 works in AMD 63xx but not in AMD 62xx.

So, we are hopping that compiling 10.2.2 in an intel processor without the AVX extensions will solve our problem.

Does this make sense?

The compilation takes a while but I will update the issue once I have finished this last experiment (in the next few days)

Cheers
Goncalo

Hi All...

Thank you for continuing to follow this already very long thread.

Pat and Greg are correct in their assumption regarding the 10gb virtual memory footprint I see for ceph-fuse process in our cluster with 12 core (24 because of hyperthreading) machines and 96 gb of RAM. The source is glibc > 1.10. I can reduce / tune virtual memory threads usage by setting MALLOC_ARENA_MAX = 4 (the default is 8 on 64 bits machines) before mounting the filesystem with ceph-fuse. So, there is no memory leak on ceph-fuse :-)

The bad news is that, while reading the arena malloc glibc explanation, it became obvious that the virtual memory footprint scales with tje numer of cores. Therefore the 10gb virtual memory i was seeing in the resources with 12 cores (24 because of hyperthreading) could not / would not be the same in the VMs where I get the segfault since they have only 4 cores. 

So, at this point, I know that:
a./ The segfault is always appearing in a set of VMs with 16 GB of RAM and 4 cores. 
b./ The segfault is not appearing in a set of VMs (in principle identical to the 16 GB ones) but with 16 cores and 64 GB of RAM.
c./ the segfault is not appearing in a physicall cluster with machines with 96 GB of RAM and 12 cores (24 because of hyperthreading)
and I am not so sure anymore that this is memory related.

For further debugging, I've updated 
   http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/16610
with a summary of my finding plus some log files:
  - The gdb.txt I get after running 
  $ gdb /path/to/ceph-fuse core.XXXX
  (gdb) set pag off
  (gdb) set log on
  (gdb) thread apply all bt
  (gdb) thread apply all bt full
  as advised by Brad
- The debug.out (gzipped) I get after running ceph-fuse in debug mode with 'debug client 20' and 'debug objectcacher = 20'

Oh, is this one of your custom-built packages? Are they using
tcmalloc? That difference between VSZ and RSS looks like a glibc
malloc problem.

Hi John...

Thank you for replying.

Here is the result of the tests you asked but I do not see nothing abnormal.
Actually, your suggestions made me see that:

1) ceph-fuse 9.2.0 is presenting the same behaviour but with less memory
consumption, probably, less enought so that it doesn't brake ceph-fuse in
our machines with less memory.

2) I see a tremendous number of  ceph-fuse threads launched (around 160).

# ps -T -p 3230 -o command,ppid,pid,spid,vsize,rss,%mem,%cpu | wc -l
157

# ps -T -p 3230 -o command,ppid,pid,spid,vsize,rss,%mem,%cpu | head -n 10

ceph-fuse --id mount_user -     1  3230  3238 9935240 339780  0.6 0.0


I do not see a way to actually limit the number of ceph-fuse threads
launched  or to limit the max vm size each thread should take.

Do you know how to limit those options.

1.> Try running ceph-fuse with valgrind --tool=memcheck to see if it's
leaking

I have launched ceph-fuse with valgrind in the cluster where there is
sufficient memory available, and therefore, there is no object cacher
segfault.

    $ valgrind --log-file=/tmp/valgrind-ceph-fuse-10.2.2.txt --tool=memcheck
ceph-fuse --id mount_user -k /etc/ceph/ceph.client.mount_user.keyring -m
X.X.X.8:6789 -r /cephfs /coepp/cephfs

This is the output which I get once I unmount the file system after user
application execution

2.>  Inspect inode count (ceph daemon <path to asok> status) to see if it's
obeying its limit

This is the output I get once ceph-fuse is mounted but no user application
is running

    # ceph daemon /var/run/ceph/ceph-client.mount_user.asok status
    {
        "metadata": {
        "ceph_sha1": "45107e21c568dd033c2f0a3107dec8f0b0e58374",
        "ceph_version": "ceph version 10.2.2

        "entity_id": "mount_user",
        "hostname": "<some host name>",
        "mount_point": "\/coepp\/cephfs",
        "root": "\/cephfs"
        },
        "dentry_count": 0,
        "dentry_pinned_count": 0,
        "inode_count": 2,
        "mds_epoch": 817,
        "osd_epoch": 1005,
        "osd_epoch_barrier": 0
    }


This is already when ceph-fuse reached 10g of virtual memory, and user
applications are hammering the filesystem.

    # ceph daemon /var/run/ceph/ceph-client.mount_user.asok status
    {
        "metadata": {
        "ceph_sha1": "45107e21c568dd033c2f0a3107dec8f0b0e58374",
        "ceph_version": "ceph version 10.2.2
(45107e21c568dd033c2f0a3107dec8f0b0e58374)",
        "entity_id": "mount_user",
        "hostname": "<some host name>",
        "mount_point": "\/coepp\/cephfs",
        "root": "\/cephfs"
        },
        "dentry_count": 13,
        "dentry_pinned_count": 2,
        "inode_count": 15,
        "mds_epoch": 817,
        "osd_epoch": 1005,
        "osd_epoch_barrier": 1005
    }

Once I kill the applications I get

    # ceph daemon /var/run/ceph/ceph-client.mount_user.asok status
    {
        "metadata": {
        "ceph_sha1": "45107e21c568dd033c2f0a3107dec8f0b0e58374",

        },

3.>  Enable objectcacher debug (debug objectcacher = 10) and look at the
output (from the "trim" lines) to see if it's obeying its limit

I've mounted ceph-fuse with debug objectcacher = 10, and filled the host
with user applications. I killed the applications when I saw ceph-fuse
virtual
memory stabilize at around 10g.

Greping for the trim lines in the log, this is the structure I've found:

So, if I am understanding this correctly, every time the client_oc_size
bytes of cached data is above 200M bytes, it is trimmed and the values is
well kepted near its limit.

4.> See if fuse_disable_pagecache setting makes a difference

It doesn't seem to make a difference. I've set in ceph config

    # grep fuse /etc/ceph/ceph.conf
    fuse_disable_pagecache = true

on this client (I guess I do not have to do it in the overall cluster).
Then, I've remounted cephfs via ceph-fuse and filled the host with user
applications.

Almost immediatly this is what I got:

5.> Also, is the version of fuse the same on the nodes running 9.2.0 vs. the
nodes running 10.2.2?

In 10.2.2 I've compiled with fuse 2.9.7 while in 9.2.0 I've compiled against
the default sl6 fuse libs version 2.8.7. However, as I said before, I am
seeing the same issue with 9.2.0 (although with a bit less of used virtual
memory in total).

Hi Brad, Patrick, All...

I think I've understood this second problem. In summary, it is memory
related.

This is how I found the source of the problem:

1./ I copied and adapted the user application to run in another cluster of
ours. The idea was for me to understand the application and run it myself to
collect logs and so on...

2./ Once I submit it to this other cluster, every thing went fine. I was
hammering cephfs from multiple nodes without problems. This pointed to
something different between the two clusters.

3./ I've started to look better to the segmentation fault message, and
assuming that the names of the methods and functions do mean something, the
log seems related to issues on the management of objects in cache. This
pointed to a memory related problem.

4./ On the cluster where the application run successfully, machines have
48GB of RAM and 96GB of SWAP (don't know why we have such a large SWAP size,
it is a legacy setup).

5./ I have noticed that ceph-fuse (in 10.2.2) consumes about 1.5 GB of
virtual memory when there is no applications using the filesystem.

 7152 root      20   0 1108m  12m 5496 S  0.0  0.0   0:00.04 ceph-fuse

When I only have one instance of the user application running, ceph-fuse (in
10.2.2) slowly rises with time up to 10 GB of memory usage.

if I submit a large number of user applications simultaneously, ceph-fuse
goes very fast to ~10GB.

6./ On the machines where the user had the segfault, we have 16 GB of RAM
and 1GB of SWAP

Mem:  16334244k total,  3590100k used, 12744144k free,   221364k buffers
Swap:  1572860k total,    10512k used,  1562348k free,  2937276k cached

7./ I think what is happening is that once the user submits his sets of
jobs, the memory usage goes to the very limit on this type machine, and the
raise is actually to fast that ceph-fuse segfaults before OOM Killer can
kill it.

8./ We have run the user application in the same type of machines but with
64 GB of RAM and 1GB of SWAP, and everything goes fine also here.


So, in conclusion, our second problem (besides the locks which was fixed by
Pat patch) is the memory usage profile of ceph-fuse in 10.2.2 which seems to
be very different than what it was in ceph-fuse 9.2.0.

Are there any ideas how can we limit the virtual memory usage of ceph-fuse
in 10.2.2?

The fuse client is designed to limit its cache sizes:
client_cache_size (default 16384) inodes of cached metadata
client_oc_size (default 200MB) bytes of cached data

We do run the fuse client with valgrind during testing, so it it is
showing memory leaks in normal usage on your system then that's news.

The top output you've posted seems to show that ceph-fuse only
actually has 328MB resident though?

If you can reproduce the memory growth, then it would be good to:
 * Try running ceph-fuse with valgrind --tool=memcheck to see if it's
leaking
 * Inspect inode count (ceph daemon <path to asok> status) to see if
it's obeying its limit
 * Enable objectcacher debug (debug objectcacher = 10) and look at the
output (from the "trim" lines) to see if it's obeying its limit
 * See if fuse_disable_pagecache setting makes a difference

Also, is the version of fuse the same on the nodes running 9.2.0 vs.
the nodes running 10.2.2?

Hi Goncalo,

If possible it would be great if you could capture a core file for this with
full debugging symbols (preferably glibc debuginfo as well). How you do
that will depend on the ceph version and your OS but we can offfer help
if required I'm sure.

Once you have the core do the following.

$ gdb /path/to/ceph-fuse core.XXXX
(gdb) set pag off
(gdb) set log on
(gdb) thread apply all bt
(gdb) thread apply all bt full

Then quit gdb and you should find a file called gdb.txt in your
working directory.
If you could attach that file to http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/16610

Cheers,

Unfortunately, the other user application breaks ceph-fuse again (It is a
completely different application then in my previous test).

We have tested it in 4 machines with 4 cores. The user is submitting 16
single core jobs which are all writing different output files (one per job)
to a common dir in cephfs. The first 4 jobs run happily and never break
ceph-fuse. But the remaining 12 jobs, running in the remaining 3 machines,
trigger a segmentation fault, which is completely different from the other
case.

NOTE: a copy of the executable, or `objdump -rdS <executable>` is needed to
interpret this.

This one looks like a very different problem. I've created an issue
here: http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/16610

Thanks for the report and debug log!
