One the file systems that have BlueGene/Q clients, I am seeing these log messages:

There were over 3000 messages printed to the logs that day, not counting the suppressed messages:

These messages only show up with NIDs related to BlueGene/Q clients, and I don't see them on file systems that do not have BlueGene/Q clients. I don't see anything in the console or syslog logs on the clients.
On the BG/Q clients we are running:
vulcanio14-ib0@root: cat /proc/fs/lustre/version

We saw spurious messages years ago, but after doing a splunk query of our logs it looks like it has been ramping up since late 2014:

And just to add if it helps, the IO node has been up for 6 days:
[root@vulcansn1:~]# mrsh vulcanio17 uptime
15:20:58 up 6 days, 6:02, 1 user, load average: 3.39, 5.00, 5.64
[root@vulcansn1:~]# mrsh vulcanio17 cat /proc/sys/lnet/debug
ioctl neterror warning error emerg config console
[root@vulcansn1:~]#
I not sure if the logs have cycled around, but here is the log from vulcanio17, which I just dumped. I'm not sure which field is the timestamp, but it seems like there are no messages since it last mounted.
I'm not seeing any errors on the IB fabric that would account for this. Could there be some swabbing issues in the IB LND code? We only see these errors on the file systems connected to PPC clients (the BlueGene BG/Q I/O nodes and login nodes). 172.20.17.17@o2ib500 is vulcanio17 (an I/O node on BG/Q).
There looks like there's a lot of IB errors in the debug logs that are attached (these messages appear in both debug logs that are attached).

Could these be the source of the errors?
The error that is printed on the client is coming up from the network stack.
Nathaniel, could you please take a step back for a moment and explain the meaning of the error message? I'll start the conversation by giving my best guess at the situation:
Some server (OST) needs to satisfy a request to lookup the a file's size, but a client currently holds a range lock on the file that means the server doesn't know the size (because there may be outstanding dirty data on the client). The server issues a glimpse AST to the client to get that information. The client returns EIO.
So if I'm in the ballpark, the first step would be to look at the client code and figure out under which situations the response will be "EIO". I mean, heck, maybe the glimpse AST code just hasn't been correctly swabbed and the client can't make sense of the RPC.
I could be completely off base. If so, please enlighten us.
I'm trying to figure out if these errors are appearing because MDT layouts are referencing missing OST objects,
I am not sure that I understand that rationale. Why would an OST ask a client about an object for which it itself had no knowledge? That would be a bug right there, would it not? The fact that the OST looked up the locks on the object and decided that a client had a lock on the end of the object pretty much tells us that the object existed on the OST at the time it issue the glimpse AST to the client, does it not?
Here are the logs from vesta29, and also from the MDS at the time this log messages appeared:

I can probably trigger some dumps on the OSTs and MDS node. Let me tweak some scripts and wait for it to happen.
Hello Marc,
Are you able to provide the information that Nathaniel has requested?
Any other action you would like us to take on this one?
Thanks,
~ jfc.
Can you provide debug logs from the clients, OSS and MDS when this occurs?
Just for kicks I picked a couple of other messages on that OST, and found that the files DO exist:

So, out of the four messages on that OST this morning, three of the files exist, but the one at 10:53:33 does not exist.
I was looking at the debug log files. You need to pay attention the timestamps. We do system maintenance on Thursday on Vulcan (the BG/Q cluster), so you should expect network errors on Dec 03, and Dec 10 due to the I/O nodes being rebooted. The logs are getting dumped when syslog sees the error message come by, so these dumps may have days or weeks of information in them. The messages are happening quite frequently, and I don't believe we are tearing down network connections on each of these instances.
