** Description changed:
[Impact]
For a certain type of workload, the bluefs might never compact the log
file, which would cause the bluefs log file slowly grows to a huge size
(some bigger than 1TB for a 1.5T device).
There are more details in the bluefs perf counters when this issue happened:
e.g.
"bluefs": {
"gift_bytes": 811748818944,
"reclaim_bytes": 0,
"db_total_bytes": 888564350976,
"db_used_bytes": 867311747072,
"wal_total_bytes": 0,
"wal_used_bytes": 0,
"slow_total_bytes": 0,
"slow_used_bytes": 0,
"num_files": 11,
"log_bytes": 866545131520,
"log_compactions": 0,
"logged_bytes": 866542977024,
"files_written_wal": 2,
"files_written_sst": 3,
"bytes_written_wal": 32424281934,
"bytes_written_sst": 25382201
}
This bug could eventually cause osd crash and failed to restart as it
couldn't get through the bluefs replay phase during boot time.
We might see below log when trying to restart the osd:
bluefs mount failed to replay log: (5) Input/output error
As we can see the log_compactions is 0, which means it's never compacted
and the log file size(log_bytes) is already 800+G. After the compaction,
the log file size would need to be reduced to around 1G.
[Test Case]
Deploy a test ceph cluster (Luminous 12.2.13 which has the bug) and
drive I/O. The compaction doesn't get triggered often when most I/O are
reads. So fill up the cluster initially with lots of writes and then
start reading heavy reads (no writes). Then the problem should occur.
Smaller sized OSDs are OK as we'are only interested filling up the OSD
and grow the bluefs log.
[Where problems could occur]
This fix has been part of all upstream releases since Mimic, so there's been
quite good "runtime".
The changes ensure that compaction happens more often. But that's not going
to cause any problem.
I can't see any real problems.

- - It's only needed for Luminous (Bionic). All new releases since have this
already.
