Hi Peter,
I'm not quite sure if you're cluster is fully backed by NVMe drives
based on your description, but you might be interested in the CPU
scaling article we posted last fall. It's available here:
https://ceph.io/en/news/blog/2022/ceph-osd-cpu-scaling/
That gives a good overview of what kind of performance you can get out
of Ceph in a good environment with all NVMe drives. We also have a
tuning article for using QEMU KVM which shows how big of a difference
various tuning options in the whole IO pipeline can make:
https://ceph.io/en/news/blog/2022/qemu-kvm-tuning/
The gist of it is that there are a lot of things that can negatively
affect performance, but if you can isolate and fix them it's possible to
get reasonably high performance in the end.
If you have HDD based OSDs with NVMe only for DB/WAL, you will
ultimately be limited by the random IO performance of the HDDs. The WAL
can help a little but not like a full tiering solution. We have some
ideas regarding how to improve this in the future. If you have a test
cluster or are simply experimenting, you could try deploying on top of
Intel's OpenCAS or bcache. There have been reports of improvements for
HDD backed clusters using these solutions, though they are not currently
supported officially by the project afaik.

I have my ceph IOPS very low with over 48 SSD backed on NVMs for DB/WAL on four
physical servers. The whole cluster has only about 20K IO total. Looks the IOs
are suppressed over bottleneck somewhere. Dstat shows a lots csw and interrupts
over 150K, while I am using FIO bench 4K 128QD test.
I check SSD throughput only about 40M at 250 ios each. Network are total 20G
and not full of traffic. CPU are around 50% idle on 2*E5 2950v2 each node.
Is it normal to get that high and how to reduce it? where else could be the
bottleneck?
