This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ceph: flush the mdlog before waiting on unsafe reqs to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ceph-flush-the-mdlog-before-waiting-on-unsafe-reqs.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit f8cdd34ab2e440220cabbe9bed7a4cad936379b7 Author: Xiubo Li <xiubli@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jul 5 09:22:57 2021 +0800 ceph: flush the mdlog before waiting on unsafe reqs [ Upstream commit e1a4541ec0b951685a49d1f72d183681e6433a45 ] For the client requests who will have unsafe and safe replies from MDS daemons, in the MDS side the MDS daemons won't flush the mdlog (journal log) immediatelly, because they think it's unnecessary. That's true for most cases but not all, likes the fsync request. The fsync will wait until all the unsafe replied requests to be safely replied. Normally if there have multiple threads or clients are running, the whole mdlog in MDS daemons could be flushed in time if any request will trigger the mdlog submit thread. So usually we won't experience the normal operations will stuck for a long time. But in case there has only one client with only thread is running, the stuck phenomenon maybe obvious and the worst case it must wait at most 5 seconds to wait the mdlog to be flushed by the MDS's tick thread periodically. This patch will trigger to flush the mdlog in the relevant and auth MDSes to which the in-flight requests are sent just before waiting the unsafe requests to finish.
