RADOS client protocol
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
This is very incomplete, but one must start somewhere.
|
|
|
|
Basics
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Requests are MOSDOp messages. Replies are MOSDOpReply messages.
|
|
|
|
An object request is targeted at an hobject_t, which includes a pool,
|
|
hash value, object name, placement key (usually empty), and snapid.
|
|
|
|
The hash value is a 32-bit hash value, normally generated by hashing
|
|
the object name. The hobject_t can be arbitrarily constructed,
|
|
though, with any hash value and name. Note that in the MOSDOp these
|
|
components are spread across several fields and not logically
|
|
assembled in an actual hobject_t member (mainly historical reasons).
|
|
|
|
A request can also target a PG. In this case, the *ps* value matches
|
|
a specific PG, the object name is empty, and (hopefully) the ops in
|
|
the request are PG ops.
|
|
|
|
Either way, the request ultimately targets a PG, either by using the
|
|
explicit pgid or by folding the hash value onto the current number of
|
|
pgs in the pool. The client sends the request to the primary for the
|
|
associated PG.
|
|
|
|
Each request is assigned a unique tid.
|
|
|
|
Resends
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
If there is a connection drop, the client will resend any outstanding
|
|
requests.
|
|
|
|
Any time there is a PG mapping change such that the primary changes,
|
|
the client is responsible for resending the request. Note that
|
|
although there may be an interval change from the OSD's perspective
|
|
(triggering PG peering), if the primary doesn't change then the client
|
|
need not resend.
|
|
|
|
There are a few exceptions to this rule:
|
|
|
|
* There is a last_force_op_resend field in the pg_pool_t in the
|
|
OSDMap. If this changes, then the clients are forced to resend any
|
|
outstanding requests. (This happens when tiering is adjusted, for
|
|
example.)
|
|
* Some requests are such that they are resent on *any* PG interval
|
|
change, as defined by pg_interval_t's is_new_interval() (the same
|
|
criteria used by peering in the OSD).
|
|
* If the PAUSE OSDMap flag is set and unset.
|
|
|
|
Each time a request is sent to the OSD the *attempt* field is incremented. The
|
|
first time it is 0, the next 1, etc.
|
|
|
|
Backoff
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Ordinarily the OSD will simply queue any requests it can't immediately
|
|
process in memory until such time as it can. This can become
|
|
problematic because the OSD limits the total amount of RAM consumed by
|
|
incoming messages: if either of the thresholds for the number of
|
|
messages or the number of bytes is reached, new messages will not be
|
|
read off the network socket, causing backpressure through the network.
|
|
|
|
In some cases, though, the OSD knows or expects that a PG or object
|
|
will be unavailable for some time and does not want to consume memory
|
|
by queuing requests. In these cases it can send a MOSDBackoff message
|
|
to the client.
|
|
|
|
A backoff request has four properties:
|
|
|
|
#. the op code (block, unblock, or ack-block)
|
|
#. *id*, a unique id assigned within this session
|
|
#. hobject_t begin
|
|
#. hobject_t end
|
|
|
|
There are two types of backoff: a *PG* backoff will plug all requests
|
|
targeting an entire PG at the client, as described by a range of the
|
|
hash/hobject_t space [begin,end), while an *object* backoff will plug
|
|
all requests targeting a single object (begin == end).
|
|
|
|
When the client receives a *block* backoff message, it is now
|
|
responsible for *not* sending any requests for hobject_ts described by
|
|
the backoff. The backoff remains in effect until the backoff is
|
|
cleared (via an 'unblock' message) or the OSD session is closed. A
|
|
*ack_block* message is sent back to the OSD immediately to acknowledge
|
|
receipt of the backoff.
|
|
|
|
When an unblock is
|
|
received, it will reference a specific id that the client previous had
|
|
blocked. However, the range described by the unblock may be smaller
|
|
than the original range, as the PG may have split on the OSD. The unblock
|
|
should *only* unblock the range specified in the unblock message. Any requests
|
|
that fall within the unblock request range are reexamined and, if no other
|
|
installed backoff applies, resent.
|
|
|
|
On the OSD, Backoffs are also tracked across ranges of the hash space, and
|
|
exist in three states:
|
|
|
|
#. new
|
|
#. acked
|
|
#. deleting
|
|
|
|
A newly installed backoff is set to *new* and a message is sent to the
|
|
client. When the *ack-block* message is received it is changed to the
|
|
*acked* state. The OSD may process other messages from the client that
|
|
are covered by the backoff in the *new* state, but once the backoff is
|
|
*acked* it should never see a blocked request unless there is a bug.
|
|
|
|
If the OSD wants to a remove a backoff in the *acked* state it can
|
|
simply remove it and notify the client. If the backoff is in the
|
|
*new* state it must move it to the *deleting* state and continue to
|
|
use it to discard client requests until the *ack-block* message is
|
|
received, at which point it can finally be removed. This is necessary to
|
|
preserve the order of operations processed by the OSD.
