It was preceded by a ptlrpc debug message

For this system, I cannot extract bulk logs and add them to the ticket. We do we have a crash dump and console logs, I can obtain specific information that would help.

The mds was under severe memory pressure at the time of the lbug.

The MDS was responding very slowly at the time. At 3:05:03 it appears to have dropped 84,316 timed out requests (output from one DEBUG_REQ() call from within ptlrpc_server_handle_request() appears in the console log, followed by Skipped 84315 previous similar messages).

ok thanks

[Olaf Faaland]

Mikhail,

This has not occurred again, so go ahead and close it. If it happens again we can reopen it.

thanks,
Olaf

[Mikhail Pershin]

Were there other occurrences of this issue? There is not enough information to solve it, if it is happening regularly then it is possible to add more debug.

[Olaf Faaland]

Debug logs from the mds crash dump had nothing obviously of interest. The XID in question did not occur in any message other than the one given above. Rest of the log messages are variations on request timed out, request took too long to process, etc.

[Olaf Faaland]

Mikhail, that XID doesn't appear in the client's console log. The client with NID 172.20.15.14@o2ib500 logged nothing but the expected "lost connection" and "connection restored" messages during the hour leading up to the lbug. Unfortunately we have no additional information from the client.

I'm extracting the lustre debug logs from the crash dump and I'll check for that XID and post anything I find.

[Mikhail Pershin]

Olaf, is that possible to find more information about the request with that XID in log? Especially in client log where request was sent from. We have two possibilities here - request flag (RESENT or REPLAY) was dropped somehow or XID was assigned improperly. Client log may help to find out was that resent case or normal request.

[Christopher Morrone (Inactive)]

He meant mostly that those things cannot be shared outside of the lab.

[Oleg Drokin]

So this is another case of "client sent us something that we don't understand, let's panic", I guess.
We need to drop this LBUG a tthe very least as the first step and avoid this crash.
Though I am not sure how the condition might arise at all.

Also what do you mean you cannot extract bulk logs, crash+ the module to extract the logs is not working?

[Peter Jones]

Mike

Could you please advise here?

Thanks

Peter
