[Gluster-devel] "du" a large count files in a directory casue mounted glusterfs filesystem coredump

Fri Dec 9 01:49:22 UTC 2016

Hi, GlusterFS Expert,

Now we have an issue when run "du" command for a large count files/directory in a directory, in our environment there are more than 150k files in the directory.
# df -i .
Filesystem         Inodes  IUsed  IFree IUse% Mounted on
169.254.0.23:/home 261888 154146 107742   59% /home

Now we run "du" command in this directory, it is so easy to cause glusterfs process coredump, and the coredump backtrace shows it always caused by do_forget API, but last call some time difference. Please see the detail backtrace as the end of this mail.
>From my investigation, the issue maybe caused by the unsafe call of API "fuse_ino_to_inode",
I JUST GUESS in some un-expect case, when call  "fuse_ino_to_inode" with nodeid which came from forget FOP,  just call  "fuse_ino_to_inode" to get the address from simply mapping of uint64 to memory address,
the inode address maybe just destroyed by " the lru limit of the inode table has been exceeded" in our large file case, so this operation maybe not safe, and the coredump backtrace also show there are more difference case when core occurred.

Could you please share your comments on my investigation?
And BTW I have some questions,
1)      How the inode number in "stat" command mapping to the inode in glusterfs?
   stat log
     File: 'log'
     Size: 4096            Blocks: 8          IO Block: 4096   directory
   Device: fd10h/64784d    Inode: 14861593    Links: 3

2)      When will system call the forget FOP and where the nodeid parameter came from in system?

3)      When the inode is eventually destroyed due to lru limit, and when the same file is FOPed next time, does the address of this inode is same address in next lookup? If not same, is there exist an case the FOP of forget give out an old nodeid than glusterfs has?

Thanks & Best Regards,
George
