Hi Matthias,

This may be https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1704106.

In our deployment it was necessary to disable the the gathering of
the provisioning stats and we simply commented it out:

#self._get_usage_info()

in def _update_volume_stats(self) from cinder/volume/drivers/rbd.py


HTH,
 Arne

In Cinder 11.0.0 we could successfully apply the fix mentioned in https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/110709/ocata-cinder-volume-causes-high-cpu-load-ceph-backend/. In Cinder 11.0.1 /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cinder/volume/drivers/rbd.py changed, but the high CPU load problem reappeared. I tried changing "report_dynamic_total_capacity" (mentioned in the changelog), but it didn't make a difference. Has anyone seen/fixed this?
