In an OpenStack (mitaka) cloud, backed by a ceph cluster (10.2.6 jewel), using libvirt/qemu (1.3.1/2.5) hypervisors on Ubuntu 14.04.5 compute and ceph hosts, we occasionally see hung processes (usually during boot, but otherwise as well), with errors reported in the instance logs as shown below. Configuration is vanilla, based on openstack/ceph docs. Neither the compute hosts nor the ceph hosts appear to be overloaded in terms of memory or network bandwidth, none of the 67 osds are over 80% full, nor do any of them appear to be overwhelmed in terms of IO. Compute hosts and ceph cluster are connected via a relatively quiet 1Gb network, with an IBoE net between the ceph nodes. Neither network appears overloaded. I don’t see any related (to my eye) errors in client or server logs, even with 20/20 logging from various components (rbd, rados, client, objectcacher, etc.) I’ve increased the qemu file descriptor limit (currently 64k... overkill for sure.) I “feels” like a performance problem, but I can’t find any capacity issues or constraining bottlenecks. Any suggestions or insights into this situation are appreciated.
