[Wendy Mitchell (wmitchellwr)]

The general steps are as follows, then they are repeated for several hours.

Test Step 1: Clear local storage cache on compute-0
rm -rf /var/lib/nova/instances/_base/*
'sync;echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

Step 2: Create a flavor with 2 vcpus, dedicated cpu policy, and local_image storage
nova --os-username 'admin' --os-password '<password>' --os-project-name admin --os-auth-url http://keystone.openstack.svc.cluster.local/v3 --os-user-domain-name Default --os-project-domain-name Default --os-endpoint-type internalURL --os-region-name RegionOne flavor-create local_image auto 1024 2 2'

Step 3: Tenant2 launches instance1
tenant2 boots the instance eg. from local_image on compute-0 (collect startup time info)
'nova --os-username 'tenant2' --os-password '<password>' --os-project-name tenant2 --os-auth-url http://keystone.openstack.svc.cluster.local/v3 --os-user-domain-name Default --os-project-domain-name Default --os-endpoint-type internalURL --os-region-name RegionOne boot --key-name keypair-tenant2 --flavor <flavorid> --image <tis-centos-guest image> --nic net-id=28348793-baef-4987-ae23-0baf02036819 --nic net-id=9267348a-c940-41e4-8a57-ce1046946f42 --nic net-id=3de977f7-94d2-45ff-907d-977a715c7782 tenant2-local_image-1 --poll'
Send 'ping -c 3 <ip of mgmt network for tenant2>

Step 4: Tenant1 launches instance2 (the observer instance)
Send 'nova --os-username 'tenant1' --os-password '<password>' --os-project-name tenant1 --os-auth-url http://keystone.openstack.svc.cluster.local/v3 --os-user-domain-name Default --os-project-domain-name Default --os-endpoint-type internalURL --os-region-name RegionOne boot --key-name keypair-tenant1 --flavor <flavorid> --image <tis-centos-guest image> --nic net-id=f6ac6f3d-45e2-4e1f-88ad-ac10bbe8ccf2 --nic net-id=0d3b246c-f0b5-4ec4-bbd4-c76eb39d1b9b --nic net-id=3de977f7-94d2-45ff-907d-977a715c7782 tenant1-observer-2 --poll'
Send 'ping -c 3 <ip of mgmt network for tenant1>

Step 5 Collects live migrate KPI for vm booted from local_image
Step 6: Setting up traffic for pairs instance1 and instance2

Step 7: Cold migrates the instance & confirm cold migraton (collects KPI for each)
Step 8: Setup traffic for pairs between the instances (the one launched in step 3 and the observer instance launched in step 4)

Step 9/10: Ping instance1 from NatBox on a new thread (collect kpi for rebuild)
Test Step 11: Perform rebuild on instance1 again and ensure it's reachable after that (ping tenant2 mgmt network)

Teardown

[Ghada Khalil (gkhalil)]

Marking as release gating until further investigation.
The issue was reported during testing in a containerized environment. It was not seen w/o containers.

[Ovidiu Poncea (ovidiuponcea)]

We also saw the issue. During normal operation yet we were unable to reproduce it consistently, it's good that you are able to reproduce it. Sharing below our data:

So, given the kernel error & with a little google help we got to either one of these two:

1. An issue caused by "Too many open files" see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1602683 . This has to be confirmed (see below).
2. Or may be an issue in the RBD driver in the kernel since no monitor reported slow operations and health was ok all the time (load on the cluster was light all the time). Google gets two related hits: https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/15891 and http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/14022#note-3 our kernel log is slightly different from what is reported yet it still deals with blk_mq_run_hw_queue and do_fsync. The problem is that they don't have a cure. They just say something like: OSD client has been rewritten in 4.7. : Which means that, unless we find the exact root cause, we may need to backport the kernel driver from a later kernel into 3.10.

Regarding #1 above, to get more info, in ceph.conf please add the section below before doing the test:

[client]
log file = /var/log/ceph/ceph.client.log
debug rbd = 20
debug librbd = 20

If it is the same issue that redhat was having we should get, in /var/log/ceph/ceph.client.log logs, something like:

Changed priority to High due to the # of labs that have seen this issue in the past week (at least 7). Also looks like this is a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1815541

Possible candidate:

In the 862 kernel we have this patch which wasn't in 693:

    blk-mq-sched: add framework for MQ capable IO schedulers

    This adds a set of hooks that intercepts the blk-mq path of
    allocating/inserting/issuing/completing requests, allowing
    us to develop a scheduler within that framework.

    We reuse the existing elevator scheduler API on the registration
    side, but augment that with the scheduler flagging support for
    the blk-mq interfce, and with a separate set of ops hooks for MQ
    devices.

    We split driver and scheduler tags, so we can run the scheduling
    independently of device queue depth.

    blk-mq: fix a hung issue when fsync

    Florian reported a io hung issue when fsync(). It should be
    triggered by following race condition.

    data + post flush a flush

    blk_flush_complete_seq
      case REQ_FSEQ_DATA
        blk_flush_queue_rq
        issued to driver blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list
                                try to issue a flush req
                                failed due to NON-NCQ command
                                .queue_rq return BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE

    request completion
      req->end_io // doesn't check RESTART
      mq_flush_data_end_io
        case REQ_FSEQ_POSTFLUSH
          blk_kick_flush
            do nothing because previous flush
            has not been completed
         blk_mq_run_hw_queue
                                  insert rq to hctx->dispatch
                                  due to RESTART is still set, do nothing

    To fix this, replace the blk_mq_run_hw_queue in mq_flush_data_end_io
    with blk_mq_sched_restart to check and clear the RESTART flag.

The issue has been recently reproduced in 3 labs - 2 running the CentOS 7.6 kernel. Jim Somerville is actively investigating; assigning the launchpad to him.

[Juan Carlos Alonso (juancarlosa)]

DX and Standard 2+2 configurations faced problems with the provisioning due to an existing issue related to “rabbitmq” service pod.
The same issue affected the Stress and Stability execution. Seems that “rabbitmq” pod had issue to manage signals when there is a big load.

[Jim Somerville (jsomervi)]

That's interesting about rabbitmq, do you have a link or bug number?

[Erich Cordoba (ericho)]

I think Juan Carlos refers to this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1815541 which was marked as duplicated of this one.

Also, in that LP, it was mentioned that the issue happened in a duplex system before the "system application-apply", it was assumed that the failures regarding rabbitmq were related with this kernel oops (could be symptom?).

however it seems that the only constant is to just let the system up for a couple hours (or days) to reproduce the behaviour.

See for this comment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1815541/comments/6
it has a dmesg output attached that might be helpful.

    For stability bump size of rabbitmq PV to 1Gi

    The rabbitmq chart requests a 256Mi PV for operational storage. With
    CentOS 7.5 and 7.6 kernels, a jbd2 kernel thread hang is observed after
    a long soak period. Once this occurs, a host reboot is required to
    recover access to the PV.

    We have been able to reliably recreate this using the stock upstream
    CentOS 7.6 kernel and the latest Ceph Jewel LTS (10.2.11) version using
    fsstress. This is currently pointing to a race condition in the
    filesystem code.

    With a reliable test available for this, other scenarios to characterize
    this have been performed including using different volume sizes and
    using different ext4 filesystem formatting options.

    We've been unable to cause the hang using a 1Gi PV over an extended soak
    period so we'll update the stx-openstack manifest to request a 1Gi PV
    until the root cause and fix has been addressed in the kernel.

[Frank Miller (sensfan22)]

Dropping priority to Medium since workaround (using 1G volume for rabbitmq) prevents issue. Still need to find a solution and Jim continues to investigate the kernel.

[Ghada Khalil (gkhalil)]

Downgraded to Medium given that a workaround has been pushed.

[Jim Somerville (jsomervi)]

This issue occurs in out-of-the-box standard CentOS 7.6 and earlier, nothing to do with any of our kernel patches or other modifications.

I have reported it upstream. https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=15937

My sincere thanks to Bob Church for taking the time to put together a comprehensive recipe for reproducing the issue.

I also tested against the upstream 4.9 kernel from Linus' tree, using the same CentOS 7.6 user space ie. I just slid the newer kernel onto the same system, and the problem was gone.

Thus this really looks like it is specifically a CentOS kernel issue.

[Ghada Khalil (gkhalil)]

Changing priority to Low based on Cindy's update that this should not be release gating. I've asked Cindy to add justification for tracking purposes as well.

[Cindy Xie (xxie1)]

we reviewed in non-openstack-dist project meeting and agreed this is not gating stx.2.0. Due to the reason that Jim found it's CentOS 7.6 upstream issue, WR provided and upstream bug opened.

[Frank Miller (sensfan22)]

To add to Cindy's comment, the main reason this issue is no longer gating stx.2.0 is the original issue reported in StarlingX has been avoided by using a different implementation for size of PVs used by StarlingX (see: https://review.opendev.org/#/c/642170/).

Since StarlingX software is no longer using 256Mi sized PVs, the software is no longer hitting this jbd2 issue. As such this CentOS7.6 upstream issue is no longer impacting StarlingX and this LP is not gating stx.2.0.

[Ghada Khalil (gkhalil)]

Closing; old LP with no recent updates
