Description Pranith Kumar K 2013-07-17 11:23:58 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #976800 +++

Description of problem:
Running dbench on a distributed replicate volume causes leaked fds on the server thereby causing the OOM killer to kill the brick process.

Output of dmesg on server:
========================================================================
<snip>
VFS: file-max limit 188568 reached
.
.
.
Out of memory: Kill process 12235 (glusterfsd) score 215 or sacrifice child
Killed process 12235, UID 0, (glusterfsd) total-vm:3138856kB, anon-rss:466728kB, file-rss:1028kB
glusterfsd invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x201da, order=0, oom_adj=0, oom_score_adj=0
glusterfsd cpuset=/ mems_allowed=0
Pid: 12333, comm: glusterfsd Not tainted 2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64 #1

</snip>
========================================================================


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a 2x2 distributed replicate volume and FUSE mount it
2. On the mount point,run "dbench -s -F -S -x  --one-byte-write-fix --stat-check 10"
3.Kill dbench after running for about 3 minutes.
4. On the server, do
 ls -l /proc/pid_of_brick(s)/fd|grep deleted


Actual results:
We can still see open/unlinked fds even though dbench was killed. Also if dbench is run till completion, we can observe some of the bricks getting killed by the oom killer (ps aux |grep glusterfsd)

Expected results:
Once dbench is killed, the brick processes must not have open/unlinked fds.

Additional info:
Bisected the leak to the following commit ID on upstream:
* 8909c28 - cluster/afr: fsync() guarantees POST-OP completion

Sac,
     There seems to be still one leaked fd bug if open-behind is not disabled(Is there a bug for it?). So for verifying this bug please disable open-behind.

Pranith.

Verified this bug on the build:-
================================
root@king [Jul-31-2013-15:49:42] >rpm -qa | grep glusterfs-server
glusterfs-server-3.4.0.13rhs-1.el6rhs.x86_64

root@king [Jul-31-2013-15:49:49] >gluster --version
glusterfs 3.4.0.13rhs built on Jul 28 2013 15:22:56

Steps to verify:
================

Case 1:
~~~~~~~~~~~
1. create a 1 x 2 replicate volume

2. Create 2 Fuse mount

3. On both the mount points ,run "dbench -s -F -S -x  --one-byte-write-fix --stat-check 10"

4. Kill dbench after running for about 3 minutes.

5. On both the storage_nodes, do
 ls -l /proc/pid_of_brick(s)/fd|grep deleted 

Actual Result:
================
No fd leaks observed. 

Case 2:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. create a 1 x 2 replicate volume. Set the volume option "open-behind" to "off"

2. Create 2 Fuse mount

3. On both the mount points ,run "dbench -s -F -S -x  --one-byte-write-fix --stat-check 10"

4. Kill dbench after running for about 3 minutes.

5. On both the storage_nodes, do
 ls -l /proc/pid_of_brick(s)/fd|grep deleted 

Actual Result:
================
No fd leaks observed.

Bug is fixed. Moving it to verified state. 

But there are fd leaks while running the same case with "open-behind" volume option set to "on" . Please refer to the bug 990510
