Metrics are passed to the balancer -policies via the Lua stack and a list of loads is returned back to MDBalancer. -It sits alongside the current balancer implementation and it's enabled with a -Ceph CLI command ("ceph fs set cephfs balancer mybalancer.lua"). If the Lua policy -fails (for whatever reason), we fall back to the original metadata load -balancer. The balancer is stored in the RADOS metadata pool and a string in the -MDSMap tells the MDSs which balancer to use. - -Exposing Metrics to Lua -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Metrics are exposed directly to the Lua code as global variables instead of -using a well-defined function signature. There is a global "mds" table, where -each index is an MDS number (e.g., 0) and each value is a dictionary of metrics -and values. The Lua code can grab metrics using something like this: - -:: - - mds[0]["queue_len"] - - -This is in contrast to cls-lua in the OSDs, which has well-defined arguments -(e.g., input/output bufferlists). Exposing the metrics directly makes it easier -to add new metrics without having to change the API on the Lua side; we want -the API to grow and shrink as we explore which metrics matter. The downside of -this approach is that the person programming Lua balancer policies has to look -at the Ceph source code to see which metrics are exposed. We figure that the -Mantle developer will be in touch with MDS internals anyways. - -The metrics exposed to the Lua policy are the same ones that are already stored -in mds_load_t: auth.meta_load(), all.meta_load(), req_rate, queue_length, -cpu_load_avg. - -Compile/Execute the Balancer -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -Here we use `lua_pcall` instead of `lua_call` because we want to handle errors -in the MDBalancer. We do not want the error propagating up the call chain. The -cls_lua class wants to handle the error itself because it must fail gracefully. -For Mantle, we don't care if a Lua error crashes our balancer -- in that case, -we will fall back to the original balancer. - -The performance improvement of using `lua_call` over `lua_pcall` would not be -leveraged here because the balancer is invoked every 10 seconds by default. - -Returning Policy Decision to C++ -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -We force the Lua policy engine to return a table of values, corresponding to -the amount of load to send to each MDS. These loads are inserted directly into -the MDBalancer "my_targets" vector. We do not allow the MDS to return a table -of MDSs and metrics because we want the decision to be completely made on the -Lua side. - -Iterating through tables returned by Lua is done through the stack. In Lua -jargon: a dummy value is pushed onto the stack and the next iterator replaces -the top of the stack with a (k, v) pair. After reading each value, pop that -value but keep the key for the next call to `lua_next`. - -Reading from RADOS -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -All MDSs will read balancing code from RADOS when the balancer version changes -in the MDS Map. The balancer pulls the Lua code from RADOS synchronously. We do -this with a timeout: if the asynchronous read does not come back within half -the balancing tick interval the operation is cancelled and a Connection Timeout -error is returned. By default, the balancing tick interval is 10 seconds, so -Mantle will use a 5 second second timeout. This design allows Mantle to -immediately return an error if anything RADOS-related goes wrong. - -We use this implementation because we do not want to do a blocking OSD read -from inside the global MDS lock. Doing so would bring down the MDS cluster if -any of the OSDs are not responsive -- this is tested in the ceph-qa-suite by -setting all OSDs to down/out and making sure the MDS cluster stays active. - -One approach would be to asynchronously fire the read when handling the MDS Map -and fill in the Lua code in the background. We cannot do this because the MDS -does not support daemon-local fallbacks and the balancer assumes that all MDSs -come to the same decision at the same time (e.g., importers, exporters, etc.). - -Debugging -~~~~~~~~~ - -Logging in a Lua policy will appear in the MDS log. The syntax is the same as -the cls logging interface: - -:: - - BAL_LOG(0, "this is a log message") - - -It is implemented by passing a function that wraps the `dout` logging framework -(`dout_wrapper`) to Lua with the `lua_register()` primitive. The Lua code is -actually calling the `dout` function in C++. - -Warning and Info messages are centralized using the clog/Beacon. Successful -messages are only sent on version changes by the first MDS to avoid spamming -the `ceph -w` utility. These messages are used for the integration tests. - -Testing -~~~~~~~ - -Testing is done with the ceph-qa-suite (tasks.cephfs.test_mantle). We do not -test invalid balancer logging and loading the actual Lua VM. diff --git a/src/ceph/doc/cephfs/mds-config-ref.rst b/src/ceph/doc/cephfs/mds-config-ref.rst deleted file mode 100644 index 2fd47ae..0000000 --- a/src/ceph/doc/cephfs/mds-config-ref.rst +++ /dev/null @@ -1,629 +0,0 @@ -====================== - MDS Config Reference -====================== - -``mon force standby active`` - -:Description: If ``true`` monitors force standby-replay to be active.

For -example, in contrast to many other common network file systems like -NFS, CephFS maintains strong cache coherency across clients. The goal -is for processes communicating via the file system to behave the same -when they are on different hosts as when they are on the same host. - -However, there are a few places where CephFS diverges from strict -POSIX semantics for various reasons: - -- If a client is writing to a file and fails, its writes are not - necessarily atomic. That is, the client may call write(2) on a file - opened with O_SYNC with an 8 MB buffer and then crash and the write - may be only partially applied. (Almost all file systems, even local - file systems, have this behavior.) -- In shared simultaneous writer situations, a write that crosses - object boundaries is not necessarily atomic. This means that you - could have writer A write "aa|aa" and writer B write "bb|bb" - simultaneously (where | is the object boundary), and end up with - "aa|bb" rather than the proper "aa|aa" or "bb|bb". -- POSIX includes the telldir(2) and seekdir(2) system calls that allow - you to obtain the current directory offset and seek back to it. - Because CephFS may refragment directories at any time, it is - difficult to return a stable integer offset for a directory. As - such, a seekdir to a non-zero offset may often work but is not - guaranteed to do so. A seekdir to offset 0 will always work (and is - equivalent to rewinddir(2)). -- Sparse files propagate incorrectly to the stat(2) st_blocks field. - Because CephFS does not explicitly track which parts of a file are - allocated/written, the st_blocks field is always populated by the - file size divided by the block size. This will cause tools like - du(1) to overestimate consumed space. (The recursive size field, - maintained by CephFS, also includes file "holes" in its count.) -- When a file is mapped into memory via mmap(2) on multiple hosts, - writes are not coherently propagated to other clients' caches. That - is, if a page is cached on host A, and then updated on host B, host - A's page is not coherently invalidated. (Shared writable mmap - appears to be quite rare--we have yet to here any complaints about this - behavior, and implementing cache coherency properly is complex.) -- CephFS clients present a hidden ``.snap`` directory that is used to - access, create, delete, and rename snapshots.
