Hello, we are on Debian Jessie and Hammer 0.94.9 and recently we decided to upgrade our kernel from 3.16 to 4.9 (jessie-backports). We experience the same regression but with some shiny points -- ceph tell osd average across the cluster -- 3.16.39-1: 204MB/s 4.9.0-0 : 158MB/s
-- 1 rados bench client 4K 2048 threads avg IOPS -- 3.16.39-1: 1604 4.9.0-0 : 451 -- 1 rados bench client 64K 512 threads avg BW MB/s-- 3.16.39-1: 78 4.9.0-0 : 31 The shiny points are on the following tests: 1 rados bench client 4K 512 threads avg IOPS 1 rados bench client 64K 2048 threads avg BW MB/s where machines with kernel 4.9 seem to perform slightly better. The overall impression though is that there is a serious regression or something that should be tuned to get the same performance out of the cluster. Our demo cluster is 4 nodes X 12 OSDs, separate journal on SSD, firefly tunables and everything else default considering our Ceph installation and Debian OS. Each rados bench run 5 times to get an average and caches were dropped before each test. I wonder if anyone has discovered the culprit so far? Any hints from others to focus our investigation on?
