After debugging with David, we found that the issue is already fixed for 3.7.7 by the patch http://review.gluster.org/12312

gfsib01bkp and gfs02bkp are connected via infiniband. We are using tcp transport as I never was able to get RDMA to work.

Volume Name: gfsbackup
Type: Distribute
Volume ID: e78d5123-d9bc-4d88-9c73-61d28abf0b41

Before upgrading these servers from gluster 3.6.6 to 3.7.6, I did a 'yum update' which did upgrade the kernel.
Current kernel is 2.6.32-573.12.1.el6.x86_64

There are a series of core files in / around the same time that this happens.

> 4. is this a fuse mount process, or a brick process? (check by PID?)
I have rebooted the machine as it was in a bad state and I could no longer write to the gluster volume.
When it does it again, I will check the PID.

This machine has both brick processses and fuse mounts. The storage servers mount the volume through a fuse mount and then I use rsync to backup my primary storage system.

 Hello,

 We've recently upgraded from gluster 3.6.6 to 3.7.6 and have started
 encountering dmesg page allocation errors (stack trace is appended).

It appears that glusterfsd now sometimes fills up the cache completely and crashes with a page allocation failure. I *believe* it mainly happens when copying lots of new data to the system, running a 'find', or similar. Hosts are all Scientific Linux 6.6 and these errors occur consistently on two
 separate gluster pools.

Has anyone else seen this issue and are there any known fixes for it via
 sysctl kernel parameters or other means?

Please let me know of any other diagnostic information that would help.

Could you explain a little more about this? The below is a message from
the kernel telling you that the mlx4_ib (Mellanox Infiniband?) driver is
requesting more continuous memory than is immediately available.

So, the questions I have regarding this:

1. how is infiniband involved/configured in this environment?
2. was there a change/update of the driver (kernel update maybe?)
3. do you get a coredump of the glusterfsd process when this happens?
4. is this a fuse mount process, or a brick process? (check by PID?)

Thanks,
Niels



 Thanks,
 Patrick
