[Gluster-users] Crashing applications, RDMA_ERROR in logs

[Anatoliy Dmytriyev]

Hello gluster users and professionals,

We are running gluster 3.10.10 distributed volume (9 nodes) using RDMA 
transport.

 From time to time applications crash with I/O errors (can't access file) 
and in the client logs we can see messages like:

[2018-05-04 10:00:43.467490] W [MSGID: 114031] 
[client-rpc-fops.c:2640:client3_3_readdirp_cbk] 0-gv0-client-2: remote 
operation failed [Transport endpoint is not connected]
[2018-05-04 10:00:43.467585] W [MSGID: 103046] 
[rdma.c:3603:gf_rdma_decode_header] 0-rpc-transport/rdma: received a msg 
of type RDMA_ERROR
[2018-05-04 10:00:43.467601] W [MSGID: 103046] 
[rdma.c:4055:gf_rdma_process_recv] 0-rpc-transport/rdma: peer 
(192.168.2.104:49152), couldn't encode or decode the msg properly or 
write chunks were not provided for replies that were bigger than 
RDMA_INLINE_THRESHOLD (2048)

At the same time on gluster nodes in brick logs:
[2018-05-04 10:00:43.468470] W [MSGID: 103027] 
[rdma.c:2498:__gf_rdma_send_reply_type_nomsg] 0-rpc-transport/rdma: 
encoding write chunks failed

The gluster volume is mounted with options 
"backupvolfile-server=cn03-ib,transport=rdma,log-level=WARNING"


The same applications run perfectly on not gluster FS. Could you please 
help to debug and fix this?
