Description

I'm using the new S3 driver on 2xpu4. This is keepstore 2.1.1:

keep0.2xpu4:~# keepstore -version
keepstore 2.1.1 (go1.13.4)

The keepstore daemon on keep0.2xpu4 seems to use more memory than expected.

The machine it runs on is modest, with just 3.7G of ram:

# free
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:        3827036     3219100      317440        1000      290496     3255540
Swap:             0           0           0

I used our little formula to calculate a suitable value for MaxKeepBlobBuffers:

$  perl -e 'print 3827036/88/1024'
42.4697709517045

That was too many; keepstore kept getting killed by the OOM killer. I reduced it to 40, same problem. I reduced it to 20 and that made it happy, stable at an RSS use of 2999284 bytes, and suitably making clients wait when its 20 buffers are in use (writing roughly 600 MiB/sec into S3).

After an hour of being mostly idle, the keepstore RSS memory use is unchanged:

root      3366 31.2 78.3 4218032 2999284 ?     Ssl  16:22  25:05 /usr/bin/keepstore

Two surprising things/questions here:

a) why is it using ~2.86GiB of ram with only 20 buffers? I was expecting memory use to be 1.28GiB of ram (20 * 64 MiB) plus a bit of overhead.

b) why is the memory use not going down after a long period of idle?

Here is a snapshot of the metrics for the keepstore (also available in prometheus/grafana as a time series):

Running some experiments in a controlled environment. I've attached before-profile-arv-put.bb.gz which is a pprof snapshot taken after running an upload experiment a couple times. This is the corresponding graph that shows cumulative memory allocations, which points at the problem:

Clearly, an (unnecessary) copy of uploaded blocks is being made inside the S3 sdk.

This is also visible in the "top10" output:

Tom helped looking at the code, and found that the issue is that we are passing in an io.Reader, not a `readerAtSeeker`, which causes nextReader() in `/service/s3/s3manager/upload.go` to make an extra memory allocation.

The cause of this is our use of `putWithPipe` in the `Put` method in `services/keepstore/s3aws_volume.go`, which is fundamentally incompatible with seeking. We use `putWithPipe` to be able to release the allocated memory as soon as possible when a client hangs up. We can outsource that problem to the S3 sdk since we pass in a context.

After 464c1562415ac7b5b5503f41b20c3183610dc899, the extra memory allocation on the write path is gone. This is a Profile (after-profile-arv-put.bb.gz) taken after writing roughly 15GB of data with arv-put:

On the read path, a similar thing happens, though this time the extra memory allocation happens in the Keep driver, not in the S3 sdk.

Functionally LGTM, just some code suggestions:

In count.go:

NewCountingReaderAtSeeker(r interface{}, f func(uint64)) should be NewCountingReaderAtSeeker(r readerAtSeeker, f func(uint64)) ... then sending the wrong type will be a compile error instead of a runtime panic.

No need to write Seek() explicitly -- countingReaderAtSeeker embeds readerAtSeeker so Seek will pass through implicitly.

In translateError() I think it would be better form to check for the concrete type *aws.RequestCanceledError before checking the interface type awserr.Error so we still do the same thing in case the type starts implementing the interface. Also, mixing switch and if-else here is a bit awkward, could just pick one.

if _, ok := err.(*awsRequestCanceledError); ok {
} else if err, ok := err.(aws.Error); ok {
}

Looks like Get() is an unnecessary wrapper -- could we just rename ReadBlock() to Get()?

Might be better to call v.bucket.stats.TickInBytes(uint64(count)) from readWorker() instead, so ReadBlock() doesn't need to call it twice.

In readWorker, the line buf = awsBuf.Bytes() doesn't do anything (buf is already the buffer where the block has been downloaded, and if it wasn't, this wouldn't help anyway since we don't do anything with buf after this). (With that, the last 5 lines can reduce to "return count, v.translateError(err)")

WriteBlock() is a bit misleading since it takes an io.Reader but only works the way we want if the io.Reader also happens to be a readAtSeeker. The reason it existed in the first place was to use the "pipe adapter" stuff, which we now know it can't use, so we could just put "rdr := bytes.NewReader(block)" at the top and then WriteBlock would be the whole Put func.

Yes! Fixed.

Done, thanks.

Done thanks.

WriteBlock() is a bit misleading since it takes an io.Reader but only works the way we want if the io.Reader also happens to be a readAtSeeker. The reason it existed in the first place was to use the "pipe adapter" stuff, which we now know it can't use, so we could just put "rdr := bytes.NewReader(block)" at the top and then WriteBlock would be the whole Put func.

Done.
