In tracker you mentioned "Though the tick thread will do this but some times the tick could be stuck.", is it due to the thread entering sleep here?:

ceph/src/client/Client.cc

Lines 7119 to 7121 in 2fa0e43

ldout(cct, 20) << "upkeep thread waiting interval " << interval << dendl;
if (!tick_thread_stopped)
upkeep_cond.wait_for(cl, interval);

So maybe when the thread is sleeping, we're at a situation where the cap flush is needed but can't until the thread wakes up, but this should just be a slight delay i guess, shouldn't be that critical. What are other scenarios?

Not sure, before I hit several times the tick thread was blocked for a long time, maybe over load or something else.

Here for this we just want to explicitly expose one method to flush the cap release manually to get rid of the cap revoke stuck bugs as we hit in https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/57244 many times before.

We have figured out there has a race between caps revoke and the cap release in kclient. Just want to expose one way to flush the cap releases manually to get rid of the bug.

So this is a temporary fix?

No, the caps releases also the metadata should be flushed when syncing the whole filesystem.

LGTM, we need a mechanism to flush cap releases manually and till now we had none. Other thing is Client::sync_fs does flush the metadata logs at Client::flush_mdlog_sync but never did we flush the cap releases. This is adding the missing bit to the function.

jenkins retest this please

We have hit a race between cap releases and cap revoke request
that will cause the check_caps() to miss sending a cap revoke ack
to MDS. And the client will depend on the cap release to release
that revoking caps, which could be delayed for some unknown reasons.

In Kclient we have figured out the RCA about race and we need
a way to explictly trigger this manually could help to get rid
of the caps revoke stuck issue.
