Re: All RBD IO stuck after flapping OSD's

[Robin Geuze <robin.geuze@nl.team.blue>]

Hey Ilya,

Sorry for the long delay, but we've finally managed to somewhat reliably reproduce this issue and produced a bunch of debug data. Its really big, so you can find the files here: https://dionbosschieter.stackstorage.com/s/RhM3FHLD28EcVJJ2

We also got some stack traces those are in there as well.

The way we reproduce it is that on one of the two ceph machines in the cluster (its a test cluster) we toggle both the bond NIC ports down, sleep 40 seconds, put them back up, wait another 15 seconds and then put them back down, wait another 40 seconds and  then put them back up.

Exact command line I used on the ceph machine:
ip l set ens785f1 down; sleep 1 ip l set ens785f0 down; sleep 40; ip l set ens785f1 up; sleep 5; ip l set ens785f0 up; sleep 15; ip l set ens785f1 down; sleep 1 ip l set ens785f0 down; sleep 40; ip l set ens785f1 up; sleep 5; ip l set ens785f0 up

Regards,

Robin Geuze

No, I don't see anything to go on there.  Next time, enable logging for
both libceph and rbd modules and make sure that at least one instance of
the error (i.e. "pre object map update failed: -16") makes it into the
attached log.

One obvious workaround workaround is to unmap, disable object-map and
exclusive-lock features with "rbd feature disable", and map back.  You
would lose the benefits of object map, but if it is affecting customer
workloads it is probably the best course of action until this thing is
root caused.

Thanks,

Unfortunately unmounting the other devices is no longer possible, which means we cannot migrate  our  VM's to another HV, since to make the messages go away we have to reboot the server.
