That is rsync going through millions of files checking which ones need
updating. Right now there are not actually any create operations, since
I restarted the copy job.
Your parallel rsync job is only getting 150 creates per second? What
was the previous throughput?
I wouldn't
expect such extreme latency issues. Please share:
ceph config dump
ceph daemon mds.X cache status
Config dump:

Cache status:
{
"pool": {
"items": 127688932,
"bytes": 20401092561

}
and the two perf dumps one second apart again
please.

The cache size looks correct here.
Also, you said
you removed the aggressive recall changes. I assume you
didn't reset them to the defaults, right? Just the first suggested
change (10k/1.0)?
Either seems to work.
I added two more MDSs to split the workload and got a steady 150 reqs/s
after that. Then I noticed that I still had a max segments settings from
one of my earlier attempts at fixing the cache runaway issue and after
removing that, I got 250-500 reqs/s, sometimes up to 1.5k (per MDS).
Okay, so you're getting a more normal throughput for parallel creates
on a single MDS.
However, to generate the dumps for you, I changed my
max_mds setting
back to 1 and reqs/s went down to 80. After re-adding the two active
MDSs again, I am back at higher numbers, although not quite as much as
before. But I think to remember that it took several minutes if not more
until all MDSs received approximately equal load the last time.
Try pinning if possible in each parallel rsync job.
