oom-killer why ?

oom-killer why ?

[Marco Nietz]

Today, i've meet the oom-killer the first time, but i could not
understand why this happens.

Swap and Highmem is ok, Could this be a Problem of lowmem and the bigmen
 (pae) Kernel ?

It's a Machine with 2x4 Xeon Cores and 16GB of physical Memory running
Debian Etch with Kernel 2.6.18-6-686-bigmem.

Hier the dmesg-Output

If the flags are for a regular allocation then you have had a something that
leaks kernel memory (device driver?). Can you get us the output of
/proc/meminfo and /proc/vmstat?

Re: oom-killer why ?

[Christoph Lameter]

The output seem to have been from another run.

Can you reproduce the oom? Which kernel version is this? The full dmesg output
may help.

Re: oom-killer why ?

[Marco Nietz]

It's should be possible to reproduce the oom, but it's a Production Server.

The oom happens after if've increased the Maximum Connections and 
Shared-Buffers for the Postgres Database Server on that Machine.

It's kernel: 2.6.18-6-686-bigmem a Debian Etch Server.

And here is the Complete dmesg:

Unless CONFIG_HIGHPTE is not set the allocation should be using highmem:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
pgtable_t pte_alloc_one(struct mm_struct *mm, unsigned long address)
{
        struct page *pte;

#ifdef CONFIG_HIGHPTE
        pte = alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGHMEM|__GFP_REPEAT|
__GFP_ZERO, 0);
#else
        pte = alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_REPEAT|__GFP_ZERO, 0);
#endif
        if (pte)
                pgtable_page_ctor(pte);
        return pte;
}

Hmmm... That should be fairly stable. I wonder how prostgres handles the
buffers? If the pages are mlocked and are required to be in lowmem then what
you saw could be related to the postgres configuration.

The problem is that the boot messages are cut off we cannot see the basic
operating system configuration and the hardware that was detected.

Don't know it exactly, but will try to find it out. And yes, the Machine
was fairly stable until i raised up shared buffers.

Haven't got more Information than the ones if've posted, sorry-

Maybe this short Overview helps:

It's a Dell Poweredge 1950, Dual Quad Core with 2.66GHz and 16G Ram. The
Machine has two Raid-Controllers. One used for the OS and the other one
for a Direct Attached Storage (MD-3000). This Storage is controlled with
multipath-tools and used for Database Storage.


Best Regards
Marco

If it is allocating lowmem for ptepages CONFIG_HIGHPTE is not set so it
exhausts the Normal zone with wired pte pages and eventually OOM kills.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
pgtable_t pte_alloc_one(struct mm_struct *mm, unsigned long address)
{
        struct page *pte;

#ifdef CONFIG_HIGHPTE
        pte = alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGHMEM|__GFP_REPEAT|
__GFP_ZERO, 0);
#else
        pte = alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_REPEAT|__GFP_ZERO, 0);
#endif
        if (pte)
                pgtable_page_ctor(pte);
        return pte;
}

Do you have CONFIG_HIGHPTE set? I suspect you don't (I don't really know the
debian etch configuration). I suspect you've run out of zone normal pages to
allocate.

Is'nt this zone irrelevant for a 32bit Kernel ?

Reclaimable means, that the Pages are reusable for other Purposes, or not ?

No, it's not set in the running Debian Kernel.

Doesn't matter, since you have 0 present pages.

It is set by a background routine that tries to reclaim pages (balance_pgdat()),
to indicate that it was unable to reclaim any pages from the zone, even though
it did a certain amount of work to do so.

Looks like CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y would have helped allocate pages since you do have
pages in HighMem available.

Looking closely, may be there is a leak like Christoph suggested (most of the
pages have been consumed by the kernel) - only 280kB+244kB is in use by user
pages. The rest has either leaked or in use by the kernel.

I'd strongly suggest to go to 64 bit for that machine.

There is no leak.  Between the ptepages(pagetables:152485), the
memmap(4456448 pages of RAM * 32bytes = 34816 pages) and the
slabcache(slab:35543) you can account for ~99% of the Normal zone and
its wired.  You simply cant run a large database without hugepages and
without CONFIG_HIGHPTE set and not exhaust Lowmem on a 16GB x86 system.

Thanks for looking at it more closely, Yes, we do need to have CONFIG_HIGHPTE
enabled.

Re: oom-killer why ?

[Marco Nietz]

Thank you all for your Help.

My first guess that the oom where caused by running out of Lowmem was
confirmed and the Solution is to upgrade the Server to a 64bit OS.

All right to that point, but why this was affected by the raised up
Sharded Buffers from postgres ? Is shared buffer preferred to be in lowmem ?

With the smaller Buffersize (256mb) we haven't had any Problems with
that Machine.

Indeed.

No, but the page tables used to map the shared buffer are in lowmem.

Page tables take up 0.5% of the data size, per process.

This means that if you have 200 processes mapping 1GB of data, you
would need 1GB of page tables.  You do not have that much lowmem :)
