We currently moved a Lustre file system to 2.12 LTS using a ZFS 0.8.1 back end. All servers are running with RHEL7.6 kernel 3.10.0-957.5.1.el7.x86_64. After the move we are seeing the same failure about once a day on our file system. We have filed a ticket at https://jira.whamcloud.com/browse/LU-12510 as well. The back trace is as follows:

@jasimmons1973 thanks for the heads up. I took at look at the Lustre issue and agree with Alex, I'm happy to take a look at the full set of stack traces when you have them.

Would this stack trace be holding a lock that would block a transaction group?

As James mentioned in #8433, we are still seeing dnode_hold_impl hanging threads for extended periods of time. Most commonly we see this on OSSs, but this might be common for our MDS hangups as well.

@jasimmons1973 @mattaezell Have you considered using eBPF to generate a chain graph from the scheduler? It would show who is yielding to whom and why. Might help find the ultimate blocker.

@jasimmons1973

Author

We are running a prehistoric RHEL7 kernel so eBPF is not of much use. Now if we could reproduce this problem on a system using a newer kernel in the test bed we could collect eBPF data.

@degremont

@cbrumgard do you have a eBPF script ready to do that?

@cbrumgard
Copy link

@degremont Take a look at this http://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2016-02-05/ebpf-chaingraph-prototype.html and http://www.brendangregg.com/FlameGraphs/offcpuflamegraphs.html#Chain. I'm currently writing a similar ebpf script for profiling zfs.

So @jasimmons1973 and I are going to try replicate the problem and test with ebpf.

Would this stack trace be holding a lock that would block a transaction group?

Yes, it definitely would. From the stack traces it appears that for some reason it's unable to find a free dnode which can be allocated. If you could post the contents of /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/dnodestats from a node which has hit this issue that should give us some insight. It'd also be useful to see these stats from a comparable node which hasn't hit the issue.

As James mentioned in #8433, we are still seeing dnode_hold_impl hanging threads for extended periods of time. Most commonly we see this on OSSs, but this might be common for our MDS hangups as well.

It may be that's it not blocked in dnode_hold_impl(), but is instead repeatedly calling dmu_object_alloc_impl()->dmu_object_next()->dnode_hold_impl() to find an available free dnode. We should be able to see this the dnode stats to some degree, and it should also show up in a flame graph or the perf profiling data.

While we investigate, you may be able to prevent the issue by setting the zfs dnodesize=legacy property on the dataset. This could result in increased filesystem fragmentation, but it should reduce lock contention when allocating new dnodes. It can always be restored to the increased 1k value after this issue has been resolved.

I suspect what happened here was thread 1 gets read zrl on 1297, and then rele on 1313, then tries to get write zrl on 1314, while thread 2 won the race, gets write zrl and creates the dnode. unlock write zrl and returns, thread 3 comes in, gets read zrl on 1297, and then dnh_dnode is 0xffff88103a8289c0 now, so it continues to 1333 tries to take dn_mtx with read zrl at hand.

now if dn_mtx is contented, or not released(like the stack trace showing threads waiting in dmu_tx_wait), thread 1 will spin in the while loop, because the read zrl hold by thread 3 is preventing it from getting the write zrl.

It seems like a cascading error of the dn_mtx contention, but in dnode_hold_impl(),
we might need to change the logic to make it similar to the DNODE_MUST_BE_FREE case,
where we get the read zrl, does sanity check for DN_SLOT_INTERIOR and DN_SLOT_ALLOCATED, then release read zrl, gets write zrl before checking dnh_dnode, create dnode if necessary and get dn_mtx. This will make other threads to block in dnode_slots_hold, rather than spin in the loop.

I also started to wonder the point of zrl, no other users are there except the dnode stuff,
and the fact that write zrl is not blocking so we need to loop is not great, shouldn't we just use rwlock here?

@lidongyang that scenario definitely looks like it would be possible. But it depends on there being a process which is holding the dn_mtx while being blocked on something else. Looking through the stack traces I don't see any suspect stacks. You mentioned the dmu_tx_wait() stacks, but they shouldn't be holding the dn_mtx while waiting. Did I miss it?

we might need to change the logic to make it similar to the DNODE_MUST_BE_FREE case,

One of the original concerns here is that we expect the common case to be taking a hold on an allocated dnode with a valid DN_SLOT_IS_PTR. For performance reasons we'd like to do this without needing to take a write lock. Though, since we're already serializing on the dn_mtx this might not really be an issue in practice.

I also started to wonder the point of zrl,

This is mostly historical as I understand it. It believe it should be possible to convert this to a rwlock, or an rrwlock, which I agree would be much simpler and avoid this potential spinning.

@lidongyang

@behlendorf I mean dmu_tx_wait from the stack trace is probably also waiting on dn_mtx.

I think rwlock is better in this case, acquiring rrwlock itself need to get hold of rrl->rr_lock in rrw_enter_write/read()

We have since set the dnodesize=legacy on the MDSs where we have been seeing this issue the most often. For reference, it has looked promising so far as a mitigation but I will report back if we continue to see the issue.

Based on the above, it seems that we are stuck in this while loop:

   1477                 while (!dnode_slots_tryenter(dnc, idx, slots)) {
   1478                         DNODE_STAT_BUMP(dnode_hold_free_lock_retry);
   1479                         cond_resched();
   1480                 }

It looks like we hit it again on one of our MDS hosts where I had set the dnodesize=legacy. The dnode stats looked like what I posted above.

One thought I had, is that dnodesize something that can be set on the fly or is it something that I would need to reimport to take effect? I did not do that last night when I set it.

@behlendorf

Thanks for the dnode stats. @curtispb the change should have taken effect immediately, since it didn't help I'd suggest returned to the defaults. That jibe's with @lidongyang's stack an analysis from above #8994 (comment) , my hope was that it might reduce the frequency.

I mean dmu_tx_wait from the stack trace is probably also waiting on dn_mtx.

Oh, I see.

@lidongyang thanks for the clue. I believe I see why this is the case, I've posted an analysis to the Lustre issue.
