Description Ruben Kerkhof 2015-07-03 08:01:16 UTC
Description of problem:

I'm running the upstream Ceph packages which link against tcmalloc.
On my cluster, perf top shows a high amount of cpu spent in tcmalloc.

This can be alleviated by exporting TCMALLOC_MAX_TOTAL_THREAD_CACHE_BYTES, but this only works with newer versions of gperftools.

The upstream bug is at https://code.google.com/p/gperftools/issues/detail?id=585

More info about this in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/google-perftools/+bug/1439277 and http://t55978.file-systems-ceph-development.file-systemstalk.info/tcmalloc-issue-t55978.html

Can you please upgrade gperftools in epel7 to at least 2.1.90?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
