Hi Mark, Sorry for the late reply... I have been away on vacation/openstack summit etc for over a month now and looking at this again.
Yeah the snippet was a bit misleading. The fio file contains small block jobs as well as big block jobs: [write-rbd1-4m-depth1] rbdname=rbd-tester-fio bs=4m iodepth=1 rw=write stonewall [write-rbd2-4m-depth16] rbdname=rbd-tester-fio-2 bs=4m iodepth=16 rw=write stonewall [read-rbd1-4m-depth1] rbdname=rbd-tester-fio bs=4m iodepth=1 rw=read stonewall [read-rbd2-4m-depth16] rbdname=rbd-tester-fio-2 bs=4m iodepth=16 rw=read stonewall The performance hit is more noticeable on bigblock, I think up to 10x slower on some runs but as a percentage it seems to affect a small block workload too. I understand that runs will vary... I wish I had more runs from before upgrading to luminous but I only have that single set of results. Regardless, I cannot come close to that single set of results since upgrading to luminous. I understand the caching stuff you mentioned, however we have not changed any of that config since the upgrade and the fio job is exactly the same. So if I do many runs on luminous throughout the course of a day, including when we think the cluster is least busy, we should be able to come pretty close to the jewel result on at least one of the runs or is my thinking flawed? Sage mentioned at openstack that there was a perf regression with librbd which will be fixed in 12.2.2.... are you aware of this? If so can you send me the link to the bug?
