Re: Copy operation freezes. Lots of locks in state BLOCKED (3-node setup with 1 arbiter)

Hello,

I have applied Pranith's patch myself on current 3.7.5 release and rebuilt packages. Unfortunately, the issue is still there :( It behaves exactly the same.

Regards,
Adrian

Hello Pranith,

Thank you for prompt reaction. I didn't get back to this until now, because I had other problems to deal with.

Are there chances that it will get released this or next month? If not, I will probably have to resort to compiling on my own.
I am planning to get this in for 3.7.6 which is to be released by end of this month. I guess in 4-5 days :-). I will update you

Pranith

Hello,

I'm trying to track down a problem with my setup (version 3.7.3 on Debian stable).

I have a couple of volumes setup in 3-node configuration with 1 brick as an arbiter for each.

There are 4 volumes set up in cross-over across 3 physical servers, like this:

Now, after a fresh boot-up, everything seems to be running fine.
Then I start copying big files (KVM disk images) from local disk to gluster mounts.
In the beginning it seems to be running fine (although iowait seems go so high that it clogs up io operations
at some moments, but that's an issue for later). After some time the transfer freezes, then
after some (long) time, it advances in a short burst to freeze again. Another interesting thing is that
I see constant flow of the network traffic on interfaces dedicated to gluster, even when there's a "freeze".

I have done "gluster volume statedump" at that time of transfer (file is copied from local disk on cluster-rep
onto local mount of "system_www1" volume). I've observer a following section in the dump for cluster-rep node:

From the statedump, It looks like self-heal daemon had taken locks to heal the file due to which the locks attempted by the client (mount) are in blocked state.
In Arbiter volumes the client (mount) takes full locks (start=0, len=0) for every write() as opposed to normal replica volumes which take range locks (i.e. appropriate start,len values) for that write(). This is done to avoid network split-brains.
So in normal replica volumes, clients can still write to a file while heal is going on, as long as the offsets don't overlap. This is not the case with arbiter volumes.
You can look at the client or glustershd logs to see if there are messages that indicate healing of a file, something along the lines of "Completed data selfheal on xxx"
hi Adrian,
      Thanks for taking the time to send this mail. I raised this as bug @https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1275247, fix is posted for review @ http://review.gluster.com/#/c/12426/

There seem to be multiple locks in BLOCKED state - which doesn't look normal to me. The other 2 nodes have
only 2 ACTIVE locks at the same time.

Below is "gluster volume info" output.

The issue does not occur when I get rid of 3rd arbiter brick.

What do you mean by 'getting rid of'? Killing the 3rd brick process of the volume?

Ravi

If there's any additional information that is missing and I could provide, please let me know.

Greetings,
Adrian
