[Bug 1917494] [NEW] ceph-mgr hangs in large clusters

[Ponnuvel Palaniyappan]

Public bug reported:

This is to track and SRU the upstream bug [0]. In large clusers, there's
a GIL deadlock that happens (or observable) when ceph-mgr receive high
number of requests from Prometheus module.

This bug likely exists at least since the initial release of Nautilus.

Upstream fixed this recently [2]. Targetted for Octopus 15.2.9 (which is
not released yet - the next point release). So this tracker is to assess
the impact and potentially backport in Ubuntu/UCA packages before 15.2.9
gets released.


N.B: We have previously backported a similar bug [1]. But this is
unrelated.
