Description Raghavendra G 2017-01-27 02:55:55 UTC
Description of problem: With performance.parallel-readdir enabled, a readdir-ahead is loaded in each subvolume of DHT. Though individual readdir-ahead has a limit on the amount of memory used for caching, there is no limit on the number of subvolumes to DHT and hence the number of readdir-ahead in graph can be large. The cumulative cache size of all readdir-ahead xlators can be huge in such a scenario. So, there should be a way to limit the amount of total cache consumed by all readdir-ahead xlators in a large volume

    glusterd, rda: If parallel readdir is enabled, split the cache limit
    
    With patch http://review.gluster.org/#/c/16072/ readdir-ahead can be
    loaded as a child of dht. i.e. there can be more than one instance
    of readdir-ahead in client process. In this case the rda-cache-size
    should be split among all the readdir-ahead instances. Also the
    value of rda-request-size is considered as the minimum cache size
    of any readdir-ahead instance.
