Dear Cephers,

We've upgraded the back end of our cluster from Jewel (10.2.10) to Luminous (12.2.2).  The upgrade went smoothly for the most part, except we seem to be hitting an issue with cephfs.  After about a day or two of use, the MDS start complaining about clients failing to respond to cache pressure:
   [root@cephmon00 ~]# *ceph -s*
      cluster:
        id:     d7b33135-0940-4e48-8aa6-1d2026597c2f
        health: HEALTH_WARN
   *            1 MDSs have many clients failing to respond to cache
   pressure*
                noout flag(s) set
                1 osds down

      services:
        mon: 3 daemons, quorum cephmon00,cephmon01,cephmon02
        mgr: cephmon00(active), standbys: cephmon01, cephmon02
        mds: cephfs-1/1/1 up  {0=cephmon00=up:active}, 2 up:standby
        osd: 2208 osds: 2207 up, 2208 in
             flags noout

   [root@cephmon00 ~]# *ceph health detail*

   *MDS_CLIENT_RECALL_MANY 1 MDSs have many clients failing to respond

   **    mdscephmon00(mds.0): Many clients (103) failing to respond to
   cache pressureclient_count: 103*
   OSDMAP_FLAGS noout flag(s) set
   OSD_DOWN 1 osds down
        osd.1296 (root=root-disk,pod=pod0-disk,host=cephosd008-disk) is
   down


We are using exclusively the 12.2.2 fuse client on about 350 nodes or so (out of which it seems 100 are not responding to cache pressure in this log).  When this happens, clients appear pretty sluggish also (listing directories, etc.).  After bouncing the MDS, everything returns on normal after the failover for a while.  Ignore the message about 1 OSD down, that corresponds to a failed drive and all data has been re-replicated since.
We were also using the 12.2.2 fuse client with the Jewel back end before 
the upgrade, and have not seen this issue.
We are running with a larger MDS cache than usual, we have 
mds_cache_size set to 4 million.  All other MDS configs are the defaults.
Is this a known issue?  If not, any hints on how to further diagnose the 
problem?
Andras
