Re: red IO hang (was disk timeouts in libvirt/qemu VMs...)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



After following/changing all suggested items (turning off exclusive-lock (and associated object-map and fast-diff), changing host cache behavior, etc.) this is still a blocking issue for many uses of our OpenStack/Ceph installation.

 

We have upgraded Ceph to 10.2.7, are running 4.4.0-62 or later kernels on all storage, compute hosts, and VMs, with libvirt 1.3.1 on compute hosts.  Have also learned quite a bit about producing debug logs. ;)

 

I’ve followed the related threads since March with bated breath, but still find no resolution.

 

Previously, I got pulled away before I could produce/report discussed debug info, but am back on the case now. Please let me know how I can help diagnose and resolve this problem.

 

Any assistance appreciated,

I can't guarantee it's the same as my issue, but from that it sounds the
same.

Jewel 10.2.4, 10.2.5 tested
hypervisors are proxmox qemu-kvm, using librbd
3 ceph nodes with mon+osd on each

-faster journals, more disks, bcache, rbd_cache, fewer VMs on ceph, iops
and bw limits on client side, jumbo frames, etc. all improve/smooth out
performance and mitigate the hangs, but don't prevent it.
-hangs are usually associated with blocked requests (I set the complaint
time to 5s to see them)
-hangs are very easily caused by rbd snapshot + rbd export-diff to do
incremental backup (one snap persistent, plus one more during backup)
-when qemu VM io hangs, I have to kill -9 the qemu process for it to
stop. Some broken VMs don't appear to be hung until I try to live
migrate them (live migrating all VMs helped test solutions)

Finally I have a workaround... disable exclusive-lock, object-map, and
fast-diff rbd features (and restart clients via live migrate).
(object-map and fast-diff appear to have no effect on dif or export-diff
... so I don't miss them). I'll file a bug at some point (after I move
all VMs back and see if it is still stable). And one other user on IRC
said this solved the same problem (also using rbd snapshots).

And strangely, they don't seem to hang if I put back those features,
until a few days later (making testing much less easy...but now I'm very
sure removing them prevents the issue)

I hope this works for you (and maybe gets some attention from devs too),
so you don't waste months like me.

Hi,

 

We are using these settings on hypervisors in openstack:

vm.dirty_ratio = 40

vm.dirty_background_ratio = 5

 

And these on vms:

vm.dirty_ratio = 10

vm.dirty_background_ratio = 5

 

In our case it prevents vms from crashing.
