Hi everyone,

So if the kernel is able to reclaim those pages, is there still a point in running the heap release on a regular basis?

Regards,
Frédéric.

Good point, thanks !

By making memory pressure (by playing with vm.min_free_kbytes), memory
is freed by the kernel.

So I think I essentially need to update monitoring rules, to avoid
false positive.

Thanks, I continue to read your resources.

My understanding is that basically the kernel is either unable or
uninterested (maybe due to lack of memory pressure?) in reclaiming
the
memory .  It's possible you might have better behavior if you set
/sys/kernel/mm/khugepaged/max_ptes_none to a low value (maybe 0) or
maybe disable transparent huge pages entirely.

Well, Dan seems to be right :

_tune_cache_size
          target: 4294967296
            heap: 6514409472
        unmapped: 2267537408
          mapped: 4246872064
old cache_size: 2845396873
new cache size: 2845397085


So we have 6GB in heap, but "only" 4GB mapped.

But "ceph tell osd.* heap release" should had release that ?


Thanks,

Olivier

One of the difficulties with the osd_memory_target work is that
we
can't
tune based on the RSS memory usage of the process. Ultimately
it's up
to
the kernel to decide to reclaim memory and especially with
transparent
huge pages it's tough to judge what the kernel is going to do
even
if
memory has been unmapped by the process.  Instead the autotuner
looks
at
how much memory has been mapped and tries to balance the caches
based
on
that.


In addition to Dan's advice, you might also want to enable debug
bluestore at level 5 and look for lines containing "target:" and
"cache_size:".  These will tell you the current target, the
mapped
memory, unmapped memory, heap size, previous aggregate cache
size,
and
new aggregate cache size.  The other line will give you a break
down
of
how much memory was assigned to each of the bluestore caches and
how
much each case is using.  If there is a memory leak, the
autotuner
can
only do so much.  At some point it will reduce the caches to fit
within
cache_min and leave it there.

Which OS are you using?
With CentOS we find that the heap is not always automatically
released. (You can check the heap freelist with `ceph tell
osd.0
heap
stats`).
As a workaround we run this hourly:

ceph tell mon.* heap release
ceph tell osd.* heap release
ceph tell mds.* heap release

And there is no recovery / backfilling, the cluster is fine :

      On an other host, in the same pool, I see also high

      But ! On a similar host, in a different pool, the
problem is
less visible :

      Is there some memory leak ? Or should I expect that
osd_memory_target
      (the default 4GB here) is not really followed, and so
reduce
it ?

      Thanks,
