Dear Cephers,

We're using the ceph file system with the fuse client, and lately some of our processes are getting stuck seemingly waiting for fuse operations. At the same time, the cluster is healthy, no slow requests, all OSDs up and running, and both the MDS and the fuse client think that there are no pending operations. The situation is semi-reproducible. When I run a various cluster jobs, some get stuck after a few hours of correct operation. The cluster is on ceph 10.2.5 and 10.2.6, the fuse clients are 10.2.6, but I have tried 10.2.5 and 10.2.3, all of which have the same issue. This is on CentOS (7.2 for the clients, 7.3 for the MDS/OSDs).

Here are some details:

The node with the stuck processes:

Presumably the second process is waiting on the first holding some lock ...

   /var/run/ceph/ceph-mds.cephosd000.asok ops
   {
        "ops": [],
        "num_ops": 0
   }


The odd thing is that if in this state I restart the MDS, the client process wakes up and proceeds with its work without any errors. As if a request was lost and somehow retransmitted/restarted when the MDS got restarted and the fuse layer reconnected to it.

When I try to attach a gdb session to either of the client processes, gdb just hangs. However, right after the MDS restart gdb attaches to the process successfully, and shows that the getting stuck happened on closing of a file. In fact, it looks like both processes were trying to write to the same file opened with fopen("filename", "a") and close it:

   (gdb) where
   #0  0x00002aaaadc53abd in write () from /lib64/libc.so.6
   #1  0x00002aaaadbe2383 in _IO_new_file_write () from /lib64/libc.so.6
   #2  0x00002aaaadbe37ec in __GI__IO_do_write () from /lib64/libc.so.6
   #3  0x00002aaaadbe30e0 in __GI__IO_file_close_it () from
   /lib64/libc.so.6
   #4  0x00002aaaadbd7020 in fclose@@GLIBC_2.2.5 () from /lib64/libc.so.6
   ...

It seems like the fuse client wasn't handling this case well, when two processes write to the same file and close it perhaps? This is just a speculation. Any ideas on how to proceed? Is there perhaps a known issue related to this?

Thanks,
