Doc Text:	.The number of PGs per OSD is now limited Previously, it was possible to create pools that included a large number of placement groups (PGs) which could overload the cluster. This update introduces a new configuration option, `mon_max_pg_per_osd`, that limits the number of PGs per OSD to 200. Creating pools or adjusting the `pg_num` parameter now fails if the change would make the number of PGs per OSD exceed the configured limit. You can adjust this option in the Ceph configuration file. In addition, the `mon_pg_warn_max_per_osd` option has been removed.	Story Points:	---

Description Sage Weil 2017-09-06 15:59:30 UTC

Description of problem:

Users can create pools with lots of pgs and overload the cluster.  Prevent that via a config option that limits the pgs per osd.

See upstream PR https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/17427.  This will need to be backported to luminous and (maybe) 2.y.
