Re: hanging httpd processes.

[Alvin Starr <alvin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Since things are in production making upgrades needs to be scheduled so this may take a while before I can get everything up to 3.10.

I have set the write-behind option to off on the servers but do I need to restart the servers or can I just get away with umount/mount the clients?

Thank you for taking a look at this for us.

Hi,

As you have mentioned client/server version in thread it shows package version are different on both(client,server).

We would recommend you to upgrade both servers and clients to rhs-3.10.1.

If it is not possible to upgrade both(client,server) then in this case it is required to upgrade client only.

Thanks

Hi,

As per attached glusterdump/stackdump  it seems it is a known issue (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1372211) and issue is already fixed from the patch (https://review.gluster.org/#/c/15380/).

The issue is happened in this case 
Assume a file is opened with fd1 and fd2.
1. some WRITE opto fd1 got error, they were add back to 'todo' queue
   because of those error.
2. fd2 closed, a FLUSH op is send to write-behind.
3. FLUSH can not be unwind because it's not a legal waiter for those
   failed write(as func __wb_request_waiting_on() say). and those failed
   WRITE also can not be ended if fd1 is not closed. fd2 stuck in close
   syscall.

As per statedump it also shows flush op fd is not same as write op fd.
Kindly upgrade the package on 3.10.1 and share the result. 



Thanks

Looks like I gave wrong advise by looking at below snippet:

Mos probably, issue is with write-behind's flush. So please turn off
write-behind and test. If you don't have any hung httpd processes, please
let us know.
