[Gluster-users] hanging httpd processes.

[Yong Zhang]

Thanks Amar, I’ll consider your recommendations. But why performance is totally different on two nodes? Will data be written to both nodes at the same time?

Hi Alvin,

Thanks for the dump output. It helped a bit.

For now, recommend turning off open-behind and read-ahead performance translators for you to get rid of this situation, As I noticed hung FLUSH operations from these translators.

Looks like I gave wrong advise by looking at below snippet:

[global.callpool.stack.61]
stack=0x7f6c6f628f04
uid=48
gid=48
pid=11077
unique=10048797
lk-owner=a73ae5bdb5fcd0d2
op=FLUSH
type=1
cnt=5

[global.callpool.stack.61.frame.1]
frame=0x7f6c6f793d88
ref_count=0
translator=edocs-production-write-behind
complete=0
parent=edocs-production-read-ahead
wind_from=ra_flush
wind_to=FIRST_CHILD (this)->fops->flush
unwind_to=ra_flush_cbk

[global.callpool.stack.61.frame.2]
frame=0x7f6c6f796c90
ref_count=1
translator=edocs-production-read-ahead
complete=0
parent=edocs-production-open-behind
wind_from=default_flush_resume
wind_to=FIRST_CHILD(this)->fops->flush
unwind_to=default_flush_cbk

[global.callpool.stack.61.frame.3]
frame=0x7f6c6f79b724
ref_count=1
translator=edocs-production-open-behind
complete=0
parent=edocs-production
wind_from=io_stats_flush
wind_to=FIRST_CHILD(this)->fops->flush
unwind_to=io_stats_flush_cbk

[global.callpool.stack.61.frame.4]
frame=0x7f6c6f79b474
ref_count=1
translator=edocs-production
complete=0
parent=fuse
wind_from=fuse_flush_resume
wind_to=FIRST_CHILD(this)->fops->flush
unwind_to=fuse_err_cbk

[global.callpool.stack.61.frame.5]
frame=0x7f6c6f796684
ref_count=1
translator=fuse
complete=0

Mos probably, issue is with write-behind's flush. So please turn off write-behind and test. If you don't have any hung httpd processes, please let us know.

We are running gluster 3.8.9-1 on Centos 7.3.1611 for the servers and on the clients 3.7.11-2 on Centos 6.8

We are seeing httpd processes hang in fuse_request_send or sync_page.

These calls are from PHP 5.3.3-48 scripts

I am attaching  a tgz file that contains the process dump from glusterfsd and the hung pids along with the offending pid's stacks from /proc/{pid}/stack.

This has been a low level annoyance for a while but it has become a much bigger issue because the number of hung processes went from a few a week to a few hundred a day.
