PowerFlex: Linux SDC Kernel Panic (Memory Allocation): kernel: net_sched: page allocation failure

De SDC is geïnstalleerd op Linux VM, maar het probleem kan zich voordoen op fysieke Linux of een ander besturingssysteem waarop SDC is geïnstalleerd.

SDC plotseling losgekoppeld.

Mogelijk is er paniek in de Linux SDC-kernel.

SDC IO-fouten.

IO-fouten van het bestandssysteem.

Impact

SDC is niet functioneel.

SDC-verbinding verbroken.

Geen toegang meer tot een of meer volumes.

Er was niet genoeg aaneengesloten geheugen voor de SDC.

Geheugenfragmentatie en onvoldoende geheugen beschikbaar op host.

Omdat de Linux-machine weinig geheugen beschikbaar had en vanwege geheugenfragmentatie, was er niet genoeg geheugen voor de SDC.

De SDC is ontworpen met grote klauwplaten voor de toewijzing van geheugen. In dit specifieke geval heeft de SDC 36k (36288) geheugen aangevraagd dat niet kan worden toegewezen:
 

Dec 3 10:40:50 backup7 kernel: ScaleIO R2_5 mapClass_AllocAndInitObj:1212 :Error: Failed to allocate memory 36288.Cannot process MDM response
 

Uit het berichtenbestand: er was ongeveer 132 MB geheugen beschikbaar, maar er waren niet genoeg grote brokken (32k, 64k, enz.) beschikbaar voor geheugentoewijzing, wat resulteerde in kernelpaniek:

Er waren 29631*4kb chunks beschikbaar plus 1755*8k chunks beschikbaar = 132MB (132564kb).
 

Dec 3 10:40:50 backup7 kernel: Node 0 Normal: 29631*4kB (UEM) 1755*8kB (U) 0*16kB 0*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 0*256kB 0*512kB 0*1024kB 0*2048kB 0*4096kB = 132564kB

Opmerking: Het is onwaarschijnlijk dat dit gebeurt met een machine met weinig GB beschikbaar geheugen.

Opmerking: Een herstart van de host zal de geheugenfragmentatie tijdelijk wissen tot de volgende keer dat het probleem zich voordoet.

Aan de kant van de SDC is er geen tijdelijke oplossing omdat het gedrag inherent is aan het ontwerp.

Van de kant van de host:

1) Meer geheugen toevoegen en ervoor zorgen dat het beschikbare geheugen hoog genoeg blijft.

2) In dit specifieke geval zijn de SDC Linux-machines VM's. Het verplaatsen van de SDC naar de ESXi zou het probleem oplossen omdat de ESXi-hosts weinig GB geheugen beschikbaar hebben.

3) Controleer of de applicatie/services die worden uitgevoerd, mogelijk de geheugenfragmentatie hebben veroorzaakt of eraan hebben bijgedragen.

Versies waarop dit van toepassing is
