.MDS cache limits can be configured in bytes New configuration options are now supported that enable configuring Metadata Server (MDS) cache limits to be configured in bytes, not only in inodes count. For details, see the https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_ceph_storage/3/html-single/ceph_file_system_guide/#understanding-mds-cache-size-limits[Understanding MDS Cache Size Limits] section in the Ceph File System Guide for Red Hat Ceph Storage 3. Note that limiting the MDS cache by the inodes count is now deprecated.

Description John Spray 2017-06-26 10:37:08 UTC 
Use mempools for allocation so that we can track usage in MB and apply cache limits based on that.

Comment 5 Brett Niver 2017-08-18 16:41:25 UTC 
This isn't going to make it into Luminous - so we need a new target.  Currently 3.0 is the latest I see.
Comment 6 Brett Niver 2017-08-18 20:41:54 UTC 
Looks like we'll actually have this in roughly a week.  Not necessarily bug free by feature freeze, but we should have code.  I'm setting this back to target 3.0, dev-ack+ ceph-3.0/? flags.

I'd really like to get this in - since it's one of the features we identified in our planning last fall as just needing to be done.

If I'm setting something wrong, please just send me a note and make me fix it so I can develop my muscle memory.

Moving this bug to Verified state.

Tested this part of cephfs test case execution by limiting the cache.
