+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1549497 +++
Description of problem:
Bottleneck has been introduced due to upstream patch
https://review.gluster.org/17105
To be more responsive to client pings in brick-mux mode, the IO/Management fops
to the brick were separated from the ping responder code by designating a
single rpcsvc request handler thread per gluster program. This created a
bottleneck with multiple event threads queuing request to a queue that was
being read by a single request handler thread that dispatched request to the IO
thread pool. To alleviate this bottleneck it was necessary to scale rpcsvc
request handler threads.
As part of brick-mux implementation the event handler threads were scaled so
that there was one event thread serving requests per brick. I'd like to propose
patch https://review.gluster.org/19337 for RHGS 3.4.0 to alleviate the
bottleneck of a single gluster program thread interfacing with the IO thread
pool.
Patch https://review.gluster.org/19337 attempts to continue work on brick-mux
to facilitate request processing per gluster program by scaling the gluster
program threads to match the event handler threads. The gluster program threads
help the event handler threads to delegate the dispatch of the request to the
IO handler threads much quicker so that the event handler threads can go back
to reading RPC requests quicker than being busy with request hand-off at the
brick.
