High read loads spiking Ganesha memory consumption
by Ashish Sangwan
For high read loads with large read size we are seeing that the
Ganesha memory consumption is growing unconditionally. Normally the
memory consumption would subside when the read load reduces but if the
read load kept on increasing or even continues, after some time OOM
gets triggered.
This is with tirpc 1.8.0 and a quick look suggests that the problem might
also be there in the latest code.
High mem consumption happens when the incoming rate of read requests from the
connected clients is higher than the rate at which the read reply can
be sent over the wire. As the rate of sending the reply back is
slower, the completed read RPC requests kept on accumulating in the
queue (on one of the pools from ioq_ifqh) while the worker thread
resumes accepting and executing more requests after adding the
currently completed one to the queue. Each queued entry is pinning the
memory equal to the length of the read request. For example, if there
are 200 clients, and each read RPC length is 1MB, if there are 20
completed outstanding read requests per client in the queues waiting
to be sent over the network, Ganesha
will end up consuming more than 4GB of memory.
To mitigate this issue, we are keeping count of the memory allocated
by the read RPCs and if that is increased beyond some configurable
threshold, we block the worker threads behind the poolq_head's qmutex
and they are not able to queue the requests (and hence not able to
accept new requests) until the memory consumption falls back into
acceptable range. This might not be ideal as it could potentially
penalise the clients which are not doing read rpcs but it does the
work and prevents the Ganesha from crashing the system with OOM. (we
have panic on oom enabled on our systems).
Does the issue and the patch (based on 1.8.0) below makes sense?
