Re: Ceph OSDs cause kernel unresponsive

Hi Brad,
 
Thank you for your investigation.
 
Here are the reasons of why we thought the abnormal Ceph behavior was caused by memory exhaustion. The following link redirect to the dmesg output on a toughly survived Ceph node. http://pastebin.com/Aa1FDd4K
 
However I can not ensure that this is responsible for each time kernel hang, since most of the time we could not retrieve any related log once the kernel became inactive.

Hi Nick,
 
I have seen the report before, if I understand correctly, the osd_map_cache_size generally introduces a fixed amount of memory usage. We are using the default value of 200, and a single osd map I got from our cluster is 404KB.
 
That is totally 404KB * 200 * 90 (osds) = about 7GB on each node.
 
Will the memory consumption generated by this factor become larger when unstably peering or recovering? If not, we still need to find the root cause of why free memory drops without control.
 
Does anyone know that what is the relation between filestore or journal configurations and the OSD's memory consumption? Is it possible that the filestore queue or journal queue occupy huge memory pages and cause filesystem cache hard to release (and result in oom)?
 
At last, about nobarrier, I fully knew the consequence and is seriously testing on this option. Sincerely appreciate your kindness and useful suggestions.

Two of these appear to be hung task timeouts and the other is an invalid opcode.
There is no evidence here of memory exhaustion (although it remains to be seen whether this is a factor but I'd expect to see evidence of shrinker activity in the stacks) and I would speculate the increased memory utilisation is due to the issues with the OSD tasks.
I would suggest that the next step here is to work out specifically why the invalid opcode happened and/or why kernel tasks are hanging for > 120 seconds.
To do that you may need to capture a vmcore and analyse it and/or engage your kernel support team to investigate further.

There’s a couple of things you can do to reduce memory usage by limiting the number of OSD maps each OSD stores, but you will still be pushing up against the limits of the ram you have available. There is a Cern 30PB test (should be on google) which gives some details on some of the settings, but quite a few are no longer relevant in jewel.

 

Once other thing, I saw you have nobarrier set on mount options. Please please please understand the consequences of this option!!!!

Hi Nick,

 

Thank you for your helpful information.

 

I knew that Ceph recommends 1GB/1TB RAM, but we are not going to change the hardware architecture now.

Are there any methods to set the resource limit one OSD can consume?

 

And for your question, we currently set system configuration as:

 

vm.swappiness=10
kernel.pid_max=4194303
fs.file-max=26234859
vm.zone_reclaim_mode=0
vm.vfs_cache_pressure=50
vm.min_free_kbytes=4194303

 

I would try to configure vm.min_free_kbytes larger and test.

I will be grateful if anyone has the experience of how to tune these values for Ceph.

 

Sincerely,
Craig Chi

Hi Cephers,

We have encountered kernel hanging issue on our Ceph cluster. Just like http://imgur.com/a/U2Flz , http://imgur.com/a/lyEko or http://imgur.com/a/IGXdu .

We believed it is caused by out of memory, because we observed that when OSDs went crazy, the available memory of each node were decreasing rapidly (from 50% available to lower than 10%). Then the node running Ceph OSD became unresponsive with console showing hung_task_timout or slab_out_of_memory, etc. The only thing we can do then is hard reset the unit.

It is hard to predict when the kernel hanging issue will happen. In my past experiences, it usually happened after a long term benchmark procedure, and followed by a manual trigger like 1) reboot a node 2) restart all OSDs 3) modify CRUSH map.

Currently the cluster is back to normal, but we want to figure out the root cause to avoid happening again. We think the high values of ceph.conf are pretty suspicous, but without code tracing we are hard to realize the impact of the values and the memory consumption.

Many thanks if you have any suggestions.

 

I think you are probably running out of memory, 90x8TB disks is 720Tb of storage, that will need a lot of ram to run and also the fact that the problems occur when PG’s start moving around after a node failure also suggests this.

 

Have you adjusted your vm.vfs_cache_pressure?

 

You might also want to try setting vm.min_free_kbytes to 8-16GB to try and keep some memory free and avoid fragmentation.

Following is our ceph cluster architecture:

OS: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (4.4.0-31-generic #50-Ubuntu x86_64 GNU/Linux)
Ceph: Jewel 10.2.3

3 Ceph Monitors running on 3 dedicated machines
630 Ceph OSDs running on 7 storage machines (each machine has 256GB RAM and 90 units of 8TB hard drives)

There are 4 pools with following settings:
vms     512  pg x 3 replica
images  512  pg x 3 replica
volumes 8192 pg x 3 replica
objects 4096 pg x (17,3) erasure code profile
