注意:此问题最初被问到here,但即使找不到可接受的答案,赏金时间也已过期。我正在重新询问这个问题,包括原始问题中提供的所有细节。
python脚本使用sched模块每60秒运行一组类函数:
# sc is a sched.scheduler instance
sc.enter(60, 1, self.doChecks, (sc, False))
脚本使用代码here作为守护进程运行。
作为doChecks的一部分调用的许多类方法使用subprocess模块来调用系统函数以获取系统统计信息:
ps = subprocess.Popen(['ps', 'aux'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0]
在整个脚本崩溃之前一段时间运行正常,出现以下错误:
File "/home/admin/sd-agent/checks.py", line 436, in getProcesses
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/subprocess.py", line 533, in __init__
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/subprocess.py", line 835, in _get_handles
OSError: [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory
脚本崩溃后,服务器上的free -m输出为:
$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 894 345 549 0 0 0
-/+ buffers/cache: 345 549
Swap: 0 0 0
服务器正在运行CentOS 5.3。我无法在我自己的CentOS盒子上复制,也无法在报告相同问题的任何其他用户上复制。
我已按照原始问题中的建议尝试了许多调试方法:
在Popen调用之前和之后记录free -m的输出。内存使用情况没有重大变化,因为脚本运行时内存不会逐渐耗尽。
我在Popen调用中添加了close_fds = True,但没有区别 - 脚本仍然因同样的错误而崩溃。建议here和here。
我按照建议的here检查了RLIMIT_DATA和RLIMIT_AS上显示(-1,-1)的rlimits。
An article建议没有交换空间可能是原因,但交换实际上是按需提供的(根据网络主机),这也被认为是一个虚假的原因here。
正在关闭进程,因为这是使用.communicate()作为Python源代码和评论here备份的行为。
整个检查可以在GitHub here上找到,其中getProcesses函数是从442行定义的。这是由doChecks()从第520行开始调用的。
在崩溃之前,脚本使用strace运行以下输出:

作为一般规则(即在香草内核中),fork
/ clone
失败ENOMEM
occur specifically因为对上帝诚实-memory condition (dup_mm
,dup_task_struct
,alloc_pid
,mpol_dup
,mm_init
等等。或者因为security_vm_enough_memory_mm
失败你<{>} enforcing overcommit policy。
首先检查在fork尝试时未能fork的进程的vmsize,然后将其与过度使用策略相关的可用内存量(物理和交换)进行比较(插入数字) 。)
在您的特定情况下,请注意Virtuozzo在additional checks中有overcommit enforcement。此外,我不确定您真正拥有多少控制权,从 您的容器中,超过swap and overcommit configuration(以便影响执行结果。)
现在,为了实际向前推进,我会说你留下了两个选项:
注意如果事实证明它不是你,那么编码工作可能一无所获,但是其他人在与运行amock的同一服务器上的不同实例中并置。
记忆方面,我们已经知道 subprocess.Popen
使用fork
/ clone
under the hood,这意味着每次你打电话给你'重新再次请求与Python已经耗尽的内存,即数百个额外的MB,以便exec
一个微不足道的10kB可执行文件,例如free
或ps
。如果出现不利的过度使用政策,您很快就会看到ENOMEM
。
fork
的替代品没有此父网页表等副本问题,vfork
和posix_spawn
。但是,如果您不想在subprocess.Popen
/ vfork
方面重写posix_spawn
的块,请考虑在脚本开头只使用suprocess.Popen
一次(当Python的内存时)足迹是最小的),以生成一个shell脚本,然后运行free
/ ps
/ sleep
以及与您的脚本平行的循环中的任何其他内容;轮询脚本的输出或同步读取它,可能来自一个单独的线程,如果你有其他东西需要异步处理 - 在Python中进行数据处理,但将分支留给下级进程。
HOWEVER ,在您的特定情况下,您可以完全跳过调用ps
和free
;您可以直接从procfs
以Python方式随时获取信息,无论您是选择自己访问还是通过existing libraries and/or packages访问它。如果ps
和free
是您运行的唯一实用程序,那么您可以完全取消subprocess.Popen
。
最后,无论你对subprocess.Popen
所做的事情如何,如果你的脚本泄漏内存,你最终仍然会遇到困难。请密切关注它,check for memory leaks。
答案 1 :(得分:16)
查看free -m
的输出,在我看来,你实际上没有可用的交换内存。我不确定在Linux中是否总是可以按需自动提供交换,但我遇到了同样的问题,这里没有任何答案对我有帮助。然而,添加一些交换内存,解决了我的问题所以,因为这可能有助于其他人面临同样的问题,我发布我的答案如何添加1GB交换(在Ubuntu 12.04上,但它应该适用于其他发行版。)< / p>
您可以先检查是否启用了交换内存。
$sudo swapon -s
如果它为空,则表示您没有启用任何交换。添加1GB交换:
$sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=1024k
$sudo mkswap /swapfile
$sudo swapon /swapfile
将以下行添加到fstab
以使交换永久化。
$sudo vim /etc/fstab
/swapfile none swap sw 0 0

ENOMEM
之前有问题的python进程有多大?
在内核2.6下,/proc/sys/vm/swappiness
控制内核转换为交换的积极程度,overcommit*
文件控制内核可以通过眨眼和点头分配内存的程度和精确度。与您的Facebook关系状态一样,it's complicated。
...但是交换实际上是按需提供的(根据网络主机而言)......
但不是根据free(1)
命令的输出,该命令显示服务器实例未识别交换空间。现在,您的Web主机当然可能比我更了解这个主题,但我使用的虚拟RHEL / CentOS系统已经报告了可用于客户操作系统的交换。
红帽企业Linux 5系统 没有交换空间会运行得很好 在所有只要匿名的总和 内存和系统V共享内存是 小于RAM量的3/4。 ....系统有4GB或更少的RAM [建议有] 至少 2GB的交换空间。
将您的/proc/sys/vm
设置与普通的CentOS 5.3安装进行比较。添加交换文件。缩小swappiness
,看看你是否再活下去了。
答案 3 :(得分:5)
我仍然怀疑您的客户/用户已经加载了一些内核模块或驱动程序
正在干扰clone()
系统调用(可能是一些模糊的安全增强,
像LIDS这样的东西,但更晦涩?)或以某种方式填补一些内核数据
fork()
/ clone()
运行所必需的结构(流程表,页面
表,文件描述符表等。)
以下是fork(2)
手册页的相关部分:
ERRORS EAGAIN fork() cannot allocate sufficient memory to copy the parent's page tables and allocate a task structure for the child. EAGAIN It was not possible to create a new process because the caller's RLIMIT_NPROC resource limit was encountered. To exceed this limit, the process must have either the CAP_SYS_ADMIN or the CAP_SYS_RESOURCE capability. ENOMEM fork() failed to allocate the necessary kernel structures because memory is tight.
我建议让用户在启动到一个库存,通用内核之后尝试这个,并且只加载一组最小的模块和驱动程序(运行应用程序/脚本所必需的最少)。从那里开始,假设它在该配置中工作,他们可以在该配置和显示该问题的配置之间执行二进制搜索。这是标准的系统管理员疑难解答101。
strace
中的相关行是:
clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0xb7f12708) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)
...我知道其他人已经讨论过交换和内存可用性(我建议你至少设置一个小的交换分区,具有讽刺意味的是,即使它在RAM磁盘上......通过Linux内核的代码路径当它甚至有一小部分可用交换时,已经比那些交换零交换的那些(异常处理路径)运行得更广泛。
但是我怀疑这仍然是一个红鲱鱼。
free
报告缓存和缓冲区正在使用的0(ZERO)内存这一事实非常令人不安。我怀疑free
输出......以及可能是你的应用程序问题,是由某些专有内核模块引起的,它会以某种方式干扰内存分配。
根据fork()/ clone()的手册页,如果你的调用会导致资源限制违规(RLIMIT_NPROC),fork()系统调用应该返回EAGAIN ...但是,它没有说EAGAIN是否是被其他RLIMIT *违规归还。在任何情况下,如果您的目标/主机有某种奇怪的Vormetric或其他安全设置(或者即使您的进程在一些奇怪的SELinux策略下运行),那么它可能会导致此-ENOMEM失败。
这不太可能是普通的普通Linux / UNIX问题。你有一些非标准的东西。

您是否尝试过使用:
(status,output) = commands.getstatusoutput("ps aux")
我认为这对我来说已经解决了同样的问题。 但后来我的过程最终被杀死而不是没有产生,这更糟糕..
经过一些测试后,我发现这只发生在旧版本的python上:它发生在2.6.5而不是2.7.2
我的搜索引导我python-close_fds-issue,但未设置的closed_fds并没有解决问题。它仍然值得一读。
我发现python只是密切关注文件描述符:
watch "ls /proc/$PYTHONPID/fd | wc -l"
和你一样,我确实希望捕获命令的输出,我确实想避免OOM错误......但看起来人们使用较少错误的Python版本是唯一的方法。不理想......
答案 5 :(得分:0)
munmap(0xb7d28000,4096)= 0
write(2,“OSError”,7)= 7
我看过看起来像这样的草率代码:
serrno = errno;
some_Syscall(...)
if (serrno != errno)
/* sound alarm: CATROSTOPHIC ERROR !!! */
你应该检查一下这是不是发生了什么 python代码。 Errno仅在进行系统调用时有效 失败。

你没有说这个过程有多长。可能的记忆消费者
