内存碎片化

判断是否内存碎片化严重

内存页分配失败，内核日志报类似下面的错：

  1. mysqld: page allocation failure. order:4, mode:0x10c0d0
  • mysqld 是被分配的内存的程序
  • order 表示需要分配连续页的数量(2^order)，这里 4 表示 2^4=16 个连续的页
  • mode 是内存分配模式的标识，定义在内核源码文件 include/linux/gfp.h 中，通常是多个标识相与运算的结果，不同版本内核可能不一样，比如在新版内核中 GFP_KERNEL 是 __GFP_RECLAIM | __GFP_IO | __GFP_FS 的运算结果，而 __GFP_RECLAIM 又是 ___GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM|___GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM 的运算结果

当 order 为 0 时，说明系统以及完全没有可用内存了，order 值比较大时，才说明内存碎片化了，无法分配连续的大页内存。

内存碎片化造成的问题

容器启动失败

K8S 会为每个 pod 创建 netns 来隔离 network namespace，内核初始化 netns 时会为其创建 nf_conntrack 表的 cache，需要申请大页内存，如果此时系统内存已经碎片化，无法分配到足够的大页内存内核就会报错(v2.6.33 - v4.6):

  1. runc:[1:CHILD]: page allocation failure: order:6, mode:0x10c0d0

Pod 状态将会一直在 ContainerCreating，dockerd 启动容器失败，日志报错:

系统 OOM

内存碎片化会导致即使当前系统总内存比较多，但由于无法分配足够的大页内存导致给进程分配内存失败，就认为系统内存不够用，需要杀掉一些进程来释放内存，从而导致系统 OOM

解决方法

  • 周期性地或者在发现大块内存不足时，先进行drop_cache操作:
  1. echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
  • 必要时候进行内存整理，开销会比较大，会造成业务卡住一段时间(慎用):
  1. echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory
