Hi Marco, this is really good test/info. Thanks.

One more thing to observe is you are running such tests is 'gluster profile info', so the bottleneck fop is listed.

Mohit, Xavi, in this parallel operations, the load may be high due to inodelk used in mds xattr update in dht? Or you guys suspect something else?

A profile info would be very useful to know which fop gets more requests. I think inodelk by itself shouldn't be an issue (I guess we are setting mds only once, right ?). In theory we shouldn't be sending any operation on an inode without a previous successful lookup, and in this case lookups should fail, so I don't clearly see what's the difference compared to an stat.

We should investigate this. I'll try to do some experiments (not sure if this week, though).

Xavi

hi,
we have isolated the problem (meanwhile some hardware upgrade and code
optimization helped to limit the problem).
it happens when many request (HTTP over apache) comes to a non existent
file.
With 30 concurrent request to the same non existing file cause the load
go high without limit.
Same requests on existing files works fine.
I have tried to simulate che apache access to file excluding apache with
repeated command on files with the same parallelism (30):
- with ls works fine, file exists or not
- with stat works fine, file exists or not
- with xattr load go up, file exists or not

thank you
