[Gluster-devel] Slowness and segfault with 313

I have narrowed the problem down to Patch-333:

Patch 332

real    6m37.204s
user    0m0.180s
sys     0m1.590s

Patch 333

real    10m38.697s
user    0m0.110s
sys     0m1.300s

Patch 334

real    10m47.733s
user    0m0.190s
sys     0m1.570s

Patch 347

real    10m20.522s
user    0m0.130s
sys     0m1.590s

Patch-333 introduced some changes to readahead to handle atimes. My configs haven't changed and atime updates are not occurring but the slow down is dramatic.

approximate combined size of 0 1 2 and 3 ?

The 0 1 2 3 folders are on the same glusterfs mount. This is a test of gluster to gluster tar. The 0 1 2 3 folders are part of a mail server store tree. The resulting tar contains 15547 objects ranging in size from 100b to 10m.

Harris, 
where are the 0 1 and 2 files/dirs? on the same glusterfs mount or on local disk?

Nothing in spec about flush-behind.

Harris, 
do you have 'option flush-behind on' set in the write-behind section of your client spec file?

There is a major slow down in patch 336 and beyond. Here are some numbers: 

Patch 331 

time tar -cvf /mnt/glusterfs/test/test.tbz 0 1 2 3 

real 6m36.388s 
user 0m0.150s 
sys 0m1.400s 

Patch 336 

time tar -cvf /mnt/glusterfs/test/test.tbz 0 1 2 3 

real 11m5.022s 
user 0m0.180s 
sys 0m1.420s 

Patch 341 

time tar -cvf /mnt/glusterfs/test/test.tbz 0 1 2 3 

real 12m8.700s 
user 0m0.170s 
sys 0m1.550s 


Patch 344 

time tar -cvf /mnt/glusterfs/test/test.tbz 0 1 2 3 

real 11m10.577s 
user 0m0.130s 
sys 0m1.700s 

Something in patch 332-336 seems to be the problem.

Strange crash. 

After restarting client, df -h crashes. If ls /mnt/glusterfs is run first, df -h runs fine. Verified on both clients.

Harris, 
both the slowness bug and the segfault you reported have been fixed in the latest TLA patchset. Please update and confirm that the fixes work for you. 

thanks, 
avati

Amar, 

Anything on this bug. If you can tell me the tla command to get specific patch levels I will try to narrow to bug down further.

Hi Harris, 
Thanks for cornering the bugs between 309-313 . We are looking into it.

I just tested a full zimbra backup on my mailbox with 308 client and 313 bricks and it completed in normal time with no errors. This is more evidence that the problem is client only and was introduced in 309-313 .

Some more testing: 

Patch 308 

time tar -cvf /mnt/glusterfs/test/test.tbz 0 1 2 3 

real 6m47.947s 
user 0m0.180s 
sys 0m1.220s 

Patch 313 

time tar -cvf /mnt/glusterfs/test/test.tbz 0 1 2 3 

real 9m21.909s 
user 0m0.160s 
sys 0m1.470s 


Patch 313 also used 50% more memory. 

This leads me to suspect the problem is in writebehind or posix-locks

Last weekend with 299 a full Zimbra backup completed in 27 minutes. This weekend with 313 the backup was only about 1/2 through after 5 hrs. I aborted the backup and the client crashed. The abort would have tried to remove about 4G of files from the /mnt/glusterfs/backups/tmp folder. The following BT was generated from the core:
