In our server, we found a suspected memory leak problem. The kmalloc-32
consumes more than 6GB of memory. Other kmem_caches consume less than
2GB memory.
After our in-depth analysis, the memory consumption of kmalloc-32 slab
cache is the cause of list_lru_one allocation.
crash> p memcg_nr_cache_ids
memcg_nr_cache_ids = $2 = 24574
memcg_nr_cache_ids is very large and memory consumption of each list_lru
can be calculated with the following formula.
num_numa_node * memcg_nr_cache_ids * 32 (kmalloc-32)
There are 4 numa nodes in our system, so each list_lru consumes ~3MB.
crash> list super_blocks | wc -l
952
Every mount will register 2 list lrus, one is for inode, another is for
dentry. There are 952 super_blocks. So the total memory is 952 * 2 * 3
MB (~5.6GB). But the number of memory cgroup is less than 500. So I
guess more than 12286 containers have been deployed on this machine (I
do not know why there are so many containers, it may be a user's bug or
the user really want to do that). And memcg_nr_cache_ids has not been
reduced to a suitable value. This can waste a lot of memory.
Now the infrastructure for dynamic list_lru_one allocation is ready, so
remove statically allocated memory code to save memory.
