We have a cluster of EL6.4 servers, with one server at fully updated EL6.5. After upgrading to 6.5, we see unreasonably long delays accessing some mpath devices and clustered lvm's on the 6.5 member. There are no problems with the 6.4 members. This can be seen by strace'ing lvscan. In the following example, syscall time is at the end of the line, reads with ascii text are mpath devices, the rest are volumes: ------ 16241 read(5, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096 <1.467385> 16241 read(5, "\17u\21^ LVM2 x[5A%r0N*>\1\0\0\0\0\20\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096 <1.760943> 16241 read(5, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096 <1.164032> 16241 read(5, "gment1 {\nstart_extent = 0\nextent"..., 4096) = 4096 <2.859972> 16241 read(5, "\353H\220\20\216\320\274\0\260\270\0\0\216\330\216\300\373\276\0|\277\0\6\271\0\2\363\244\352!\6\0"..., 4096) = 4096 <1.717222> 16241 read(5, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096 <1.476014> 16241 read(5, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096 <1.800225> 16241 read(5, "3\300\216\320\274\0|\216\300\216\330\276\0|\277\0\6\271\0\2\374\363\244Ph\34\6\313\373\271\4\0"..., 4096) = 4096 <2.008620> 16241 read(5, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096 <2.021734> 16241 read(5, "3\300\216\320\274\0|\216\300\216\330\276\0|\277\0\6\271\0\2\374\363\244Ph\34\6\313\373\271\4\0"..., 4096) = 4096 <2.126359> 16241 read(5, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096 <2.036027> 16241 read(5, "\1\4\0\0\21\4\0\0!\4\0\0\331[\362\37\2\0\4\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\356\37U\23"..., 4096) = 4096 <1.330302> 16241 read(5, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096 <1.381982> 16241 read(5, "vgift3 {\nid = \"spdYGc-5hqc-ejzd-"..., 8192) = 8192 <0.922098> 16241 read(5, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096 <2.440282> 16241 read(6, "vgift3 {\nid = \"spdYGc-5hqc-ejzd-"..., 8192) = 8192 <1.158817> 16241 read(5, "gment1 {\nstart_extent = 0\nextent"..., 4096) = 4096 <0.941814> 16241 read(6, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096 <1.518448> 16241 read(6, "gment1 {\nstart_extent = 0\nextent"..., 20480) = 20480 <2.006777> ------ The delay can also be seen in the syslog messages we receive after restarting clvmd with debugging enabled. ------ Jul 14 11:47:58 lnx05 lvm[13423]: Got new connection on fd 5 Jul 14 11:48:03 lnx05 lvm[13423]: Read on local socket 5, len = 28 Jul 14 11:48:03 lnx05 lvm[13423]: creating pipe, [11, 12] Jul 14 11:48:03 lnx05 lvm[13423]: Creating pre&post thread Jul 14 11:48:03 lnx05 lvm[13423]: Created pre&post thread, state = 0 Jul 14 11:48:03 lnx05 lvm[13423]: in sub thread: client = 0x13e7460 Jul 14 11:48:03 lnx05 lvm[13423]: doing PRE command LOCK_VG 'V_vgift5' at 1 (client=0x13e7460) Jul 14 11:48:03 lnx05 lvm[13423]: sync_lock: 'V_vgift5' mode:3 flags=0 Jul 14 11:48:03 lnx05 lvm[13423]: sync_lock: returning lkid 24c0008 Jul 14 11:48:03 lnx05 lvm[13423]: Writing status 0 down pipe 12 Jul 14 11:48:03 lnx05 lvm[13423]: Waiting to do post command - state = 0 Jul 14 11:48:03 lnx05 lvm[13423]: read on PIPE 11: 4 bytes: status: 0 Jul 14 11:48:03 lnx05 lvm[13423]: background routine status was 0, sock_client=0x13e7460 Jul 14 11:48:03 lnx05 lvm[13423]: distribute command: XID = 3443, flags=0x1 (LOCAL) Jul 14 11:48:03 lnx05 lvm[13423]: add_to_lvmqueue: cmd=0x13e2820. client=0x13e7460, msg=0x13e27f0, len=28, csid=(nil), xid=3443 Jul 14 11:48:03 lnx05 lvm[13423]: process_work_item: local Jul 14 11:48:03 lnx05 lvm[13423]: process_local_command: LOCK_VG (0x33) msg=0x13e7110, msglen =28, client=0x13e7460 Jul 14 11:48:03 lnx05 lvm[13423]: do_lock_vg: resource 'V_vgift5', cmd = 0x1 LCK_VG (READ|VG), flags = 0x4 ( DMEVENTD_MONITOR ), critical_section = 0 Jul 14 11:48:03 lnx05 lvm[13423]: Invalidating cached metadata for VG vgift5 Jul 14 11:48:03 lnx05 lvm[13423]: Reply from node lnx05-p12: 0 bytes Jul 14 11:48:03 lnx05 lvm[13423]: Got 1 replies, expecting: 1 Jul 14 11:48:03 lnx05 lvm[13423]: LVM thread waiting for work Jul 14 11:48:03 lnx05 lvm[13423]: Got post command condition...
