In this talk Mauricio and Dan will discuss the steps for root cause analysis of transient checksum errors seen with Ceph on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (probably issue #22464 [1]), covering components such as Ceph, TCMalloc, and the Linux kernel. They will describe the problem symptoms, approaches used for analysis, instrumentation, and synthetic reproducers. Drilling down to the root cause, and covering the proposed fix. There will be some (light) code walkthrough, changes for instrumentation, and usage of tracing tools in the Linux kernel (eg, ftrace, perf) thus experience with development, instrumentation, tracing, is helpful, but not strictly required. [1] Issue #22464 – https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/22464#note-50
