Re: ceph-mgr hangs on larger clusters in Luminous

[Bryan Stillwell <bstillwell@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I could see something related to that bug might be happening, but we're not seeing the "clock skew" or "signal: Hangup" messages in our logs.

 

One reason that this cluster might be running into this problem is that we appear to have a script that is gathering stats for collectd which is running 'ceph pg dump' every 16-17 seconds.  I guess you could say we're stress testing that code path fairly well...  :)

After we upgraded from Jewel (10.2.10) to Luminous (12.2.5) we started seeing a problem where the new ceph-mgr would sometimes hang indefinitely when doing commands like 'ceph pg dump' on our largest cluster (~1,300 OSDs).  The rest of our clusters (10+) aren't seeing the same issue, but they are all under 600 OSDs each.  Restarting ceph-mgr seems to fix the issue for 12 hours or so, but usually overnight it'll get back into the state where the hang reappears.  At first I thought it was a hardware issue, but switching the primary ceph-mgr to another node didn't fix the problem.

 

 

 

I've increased the logging to 20/20 for debug_mgr, and while a working dump looks like this:

A failed dump call doesn't show up at all.  The "mgr.server handle_command prefix=pg dump" log entry doesn't seem to even make it to the logs.

 

This could be a manifestation of

https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/23460, as the "pg dump" path is one of

the places where the pgmap and osdmap locks are taken together.

 

Deadlockyness aside, this code path could use some improvement so that

both locks aren't being held unnecessarily, and so that we aren't

holding up all other accesses to pgmap while doing a dump.
