Hi,
starting with 5.4.188 wie see a massive performance regression on our nfs-server. It basically is serving requests very very slowly with cpu utilization of 100% (with 5.4.187 and earlier it is 10%) so that it is
unusable as a fileserver.
The culprit are commits (or one of it):
c32f1041382a88b17da5736886da4a492353a1bb "nfsd: cleanup
nfsd_file_lru_dispose()"
628adfa21815f74c04724abc85847f24b5dd1645 "nfsd: Containerise filecache
laundrette"
(upstream 36ebbdb96b694dd9c6b25ad98f2bbd263d022b63 and
9542e6a643fc69d528dfb3303f145719c61d3050)
If I revert them in v5.4.192 the kernel works as before and performance is
ok again.
I did not try to revert them one by one as any disruption of our nfs-server
is a severe problem for us and I'm not sure if they are related.
5.10 and 5.15 both always performed very badly on our nfs-server in a
similar way so we were stuck with 5.4.
I now think this is because of 36ebbdb96b694dd9c6b25ad98f2bbd263d022b63 and/or 9542e6a643fc69d528dfb3303f145719c61d3050 though I didn't tried to
revert them in 5.15 yet.
Odds are 5.18-rc6 is also a problem?
We believe that
6b8a94332ee4 ("nfsd: Fix a write performance regression")
addresses the performance regression. It was merged into 5.18-rc.
And into 5.17.4 if someone wants to try that release.
I don't have a lot of time to backport this one myself, so
I welcome anyone who wants to apply that commit to their
favorite LTS kernel and test it for us.
If so, I'll just wait for the fix to get into Linus's tree as this does
not seem to be a stable-tree-only issue.
Unfortunately I've received a recent report that the fix introduces
a "sleep while spinlock is held" for NFSv4.0 in rare cases.
Ick, not good, any potential fixes for that?
Not yet. I was at LSF last week, so I've just started digging
into this one. I've confirmed that the report is a real bug,
but we still don't know how hard it is to hit it with real
workloads.

This maybe unrelated: when I used 5.4.188 for the first time I got this:

[Mon Apr 11 09:20:23 2022] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[Mon Apr 11 09:20:23 2022] refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.

I don't believe this is the same issue as the performance
regression. Hard to say more without knowing what the
server's workload was when this occurred.

The only two NFSD-related patches that appear between
v5.4.187 and v5.4.188 are Trond's filecache. It's implausible
that a callback reference count issue would be related.


Maybe it is because of the high cpu load with these two patches. Whereas there are usually only 10 nfsd threads in R state even under high load and only for short times, with these two patches there are periods where there are 50 or more.

Our monitoring says that the load on average (1m) is < 1, with these two patches it was 18. So there is more parallelism.

[Mon Apr 11 09:59:17 2022] nfsd4_process_open2 failed to open newly-created file! status=10008

This is definitely not the same problem. This is a failure
to open a freshly created file. Maybe due to a memory shortage?

No, I don't think so, there was about 100G available.


But this area has been a problem for a long time.

I have some patches going into 5.19 that might help in this
area by making NFSv4 OPEN(CREATE) atomic.

I never saw this with an earlier kernel (and we use 5.4 since a long time).

I did not see this with the unchanged 5.4.192, though, which I tested before running 5.4.192 with the above mentioned patches reverted.
