I _think_ that’s not it. This is a Qemu w/ virtio-block + Ceph stack with 2x10G and fully SSD backed. The last 24 hours show operation latency at less than 0.016ms. Ceph’s slow request warning (30s limit) has not triggered in the last 24 hours.

Also, aside from a VM that was exhausting its Qemu io throttling for a minute (and stuck in completely different tracebacks) the only blocked task reports from the last 48 hours was this specific process.

I’d expect that we’d see a lot more reports about IO issues from multiple VMs and multiple loads at the same time when the storage misbehaves (we did experience those in the long long past in older Ceph versions and with spinning rust, so I’m pretty confident (at the moment) this isn’t a storage issue per se).

Incidentally this now reminds me of a different (maybe not?) issue that I’ve been trying to track down with mdraid/xfs:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-raid&m=172295385102939&w=2

This is only tested on an older kernel so far (5.15.138) and we ended up seeing IOPS stuck in the md device but not below it. However, MD isn’t involved here. I made the connection because the original traceback also shows it stuck in “wait_on_page_writeback”, but maybe that’s a red herring:
