DLPX-84995 NFSD: Never call nfsd_file_gc() in foreground paths #24

Background

Recent escalations uncovered a bug in the NFS server file cache where lots of NFSv4 file opens causes the NFSD threads to consume a majority of CPU resources. This excessive kernel CPU consumption can cause the system to be non-responsive.

Problem

Per the upstream commit:

The checks in nfsd_file_acquire() and nfsd_file_put() that directly
invoke filecache garbage collection are intended to keep cache
occupancy between a low- and high-watermark. The reason to limit the
capacity of the filecache is to keep filecache lookups reasonably
fast.

However, invoking garbage collection at those points has some
undesirable negative impacts. Files that are held open by NFSv4
clients often push the occupancy of the filecache over these
watermarks. At that point:

- Every call to nfsd_file_acquire() and nfsd_file_put() results in
  an LRU walk. This has the same effect on lookup latency as long
  chains in the hash table.
- Garbage collection will then run on every nfsd thread, causing a
  lot of unnecessary lock contention.
- Limiting cache capacity pushes out files used only by NFSv3
  clients, which are the type of files the filecache is supposed to
  help.

To address those negative impacts, remove the direct calls to the
garbage collector.

Solution

Pull in the upstream commit that stops calling nfsd_file_gc() inline for nfsd threads.

Testing Done

ab-pre-push: http://selfservice.jenkins.delphix.com/job/appliance-build-orchestrator-pre-push/4832/

Tested before/after with 17,000 opened files on a NFSv4 mount and ran a workload that cause lots of churn. For the before case, a 30 second kernel profile has NFSD using 36% CPU, whereas for the fixed kernel it is only using 6% CPU

Before:
bad

With the fix:
fixed

Future Work

There are additional upstream fixes in this problem space that would require refactoring to bring in since they are based off of a 6.1 kernel and we currently are running 5.4 kernels.

The checks in nfsd_file_acquire() and nfsd_file_put() that directly
invoke filecache garbage collection are intended to keep cache
occupancy between a low- and high-watermark. The reason to limit the
capacity of the filecache is to keep filecache lookups reasonably
fast.

However, invoking garbage collection at those points has some
undesirable negative impacts. Files that are held open by NFSv4
clients often push the occupancy of the filecache over these
watermarks. At that point:

- Every call to nfsd_file_acquire() and nfsd_file_put() results in
  an LRU walk. This has the same effect on lookup latency as long
  chains in the hash table.
- Garbage collection will then run on every nfsd thread, causing a
  lot of unnecessary lock contention.
- Limiting cache capacity pushes out files used only by NFSv3
  clients, which are the type of files the filecache is supposed to
  help.

The following processes run into a deadlock. CPU 41 was waiting for CPU 29

The lock is used to synchronize different sysfs operations, it doesn't
protect any resource that will be touched by an interrupt. Consequently
it's not required to disable IRQs. Replace the spinlock with a mutex to fix
the deadlock.

- Limiting cache capacity pushes out files used only by NFSv3
  clients, which are the type of files the filecache is supposed to
  help.

To address those negative impacts, remove the direct calls to the
garbage collector.

The checks in nfsd_file_acquire() and nfsd_file_put() that directly
invoke filecache garbage collection are intended to keep cache
occupancy between a low- and high-watermark. The reason to limit the
capacity of the filecache is to keep filecache lookups reasonably
fast.

However, invoking garbage collection at those points has some
undesirable negative impacts. Files that are held open by NFSv4
clients often push the occupancy of the filecache over these
watermarks. At that point:

- Every call to nfsd_file_acquire() and nfsd_file_put() results in
  an LRU walk. This has the same effect on lookup latency as long
  chains in the hash table.
- Garbage collection will then run on every nfsd thread, causing a
  lot of unnecessary lock contention.
- Limiting cache capacity pushes out files used only by NFSv3
  clients, which are the type of files the filecache is supposed to
  help.

To address those negative impacts, remove the direct calls to the
garbage collector.

[ Upstream commit 3dd384108d53834002be5630132ad5c3f32166ad ]

profile->parent->dents[AAFS_PROF_DIR] could be NULL only if its parent is made
from __create_missing_ancestors(..) and 'ent->old' is NULL in
aa_replace_profiles(..).
In that case, it must return an error code and the code, -ENOENT represents
its state that the path of its parent is not existed yet.
