Linux关闭透明大页配置

 

 

一、为何要关闭透明大页

   

 A--MOS获取 .

#翻译
 由于透明超大页面已知会导致意外的节点重新启动并导致RAC出现性能问题，因此Oracle强烈建议禁用透明超大页面。
另外，即使在单实例数据库环境中，透明超大页面也可能会导致问题，并出现意外的性能问题或延迟。
因此，Oracle建议在运行Oracle的所有数据库服务器上禁用透明超大页面

Because Transparent HugePages are known to cause unexpected node reboots 
and performance problems with RAC, Oracle strongly advises to disable
 the use of Transparent HugePages. In addition, Transparent Hugepages
 may cause problems even in a single-instance database environment with
 unexpected performance problems or delays. As such, Oracle recommends
 disabling Transparent HugePages on all Database servers running Oracle

透明大页块：可以动态将系统默认内存叶块4kb，交换为Huge pages，在这个过程中，对于操作系统的内存的各种分配活动，都需要各种内存锁，直接影响程序的内存访问性能，这个过程对应用是透明的，在应用层面不可控制，对于专门优化4K page优化的程序来说，造成随机的性能下降问题。


Transparent Huge Pages (THP) are enabled by default in RHEL 6 for all applications. The kernel attempts to allocate hugepages whenever possible and any Linux process will receive 2MB pages if the mmap region is 2MB naturally aligned. The main kernel address space itself is mapped with hugepages, reducing TLB pressure from kernel code. For general information on Hugepages, see: What are Huge Pages and what are the advantages of using them?


 The kernel will always attempt to satisfy a memory allocation using hugepages. If no hugepages are available (due to non availability of physically continuous memory for example) the kernel will fall back to the regular 4KB pages. THP are also swappable (unlike hugetlbfs). This is achieved by breaking the huge page to smaller 4KB pages, which are then swapped out normally. 


But to use hugepages effectively, the kernel must find physically continuous areas of memory big enough to satisfy the request, and also properly aligned. For this, a khugepaged kernel thread has been added. This thread will occasionally attempt to substitute smaller pages being used currently with a hugepage allocation, thus maximizing THP usage. 


In userland, no modifications to the applications are necessary (hence transparent). But there are ways to optimize its use. For applications that want to use hugepages, use of posix_memalign() can also help ensure that large allocations are aligned to huge page (2MB) boundaries.


 Also, THP is only enabled for anonymous memory regions. There are plans to add support for tmpfs and page cache. THP tunables are found in the /sys tree under /sys/kernel/mm/redhat_transparent_hugepage.

 

二、禁用透明大页区在哪？
从RedHat6，OL6，SLES11和UEK2内核开始，实现并启用透明超大页面（默认）以尝试改进内存管理。
透明HugePages类似于以前Linux版本中可用的HugePages。主要区别在于透明HugePages是在运行时由内核中的khugepaged线程动态设置的，
而常规的HugePages必须在启动时预先分配
#禁用后，内存大页将在系统启动后初始化分配，内存大页不会动态调整


三、关闭透明大页步骤：
可以参考MOS文档：

ALERT: Disable Transparent HugePages on SLES11, RHEL6, RHEL7, OL6, OL7, and UEK2 and above (Doc ID 1557478.1) Oracle Linux 7 - How to disable Transparent HugePages for RHCK kernel? (Doc ID 2066217.1)

四、验证查询是否关闭：配置重启系统后

#A，认为最简单方便的：查询大页配置

oracle@bdp04 ~]$ grep Huge /proc/meminfo

AnonHugePages:         0 kB  与透明大页有关，透明大页关闭，则显示0

HugePages_Total:   65560      大页总数量

HugePages_Free:    65560

HugePages_Rsvd:        0

HugePages_Surp:        0

Hugepagesize:       2048 kB

 

#B  【never】

[root@testhost ~]# cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
always madvise [never]
