[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1518457] Re: kswapd0 100% CPU usage
I've tried this on t1.micro (PV) and t2.micro (HVM) instances in eu-west-1. To reproduce, I used the following two commands: sudo apt install docker.io sudo docker run -p 80:8080 cptactionhank/atlassian-jira The startup should work, but navigate to http://instanceaddress/ and choose "I'll set it up myself" and "Built In" database. 10-20 seconds after you click "Next", you should see the memory being exhausted and kswapd0 use half of the CPU time. Test results: ubuntu/images/ebs-ssd/ubuntu-xenial-16.04-amd64-server-20160721 (PV): kswapd0 OK ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-xenial-16.04-amd64-server-20160721 (HVM): kswapd0 high CPU usage It's worth noting that the memory blocks varies between distro and PV/HVM: Amazon Linux HVM: /sys/devices/system/memory/memory[0-7] RHEL 7.2 HVM: /sys/devices/system/memory/memory[0-7] Ubuntu 16.04 HVM: /sys/devices/system/memory/memory[0-8] Ubuntu 16.04 PV: /sys/devices/system/memory/memory[0-4] Why Ubuntu on HVM has an extra memory block is a mystery. It seems to be offline by default, but enabled by the udev hotadd rule. And EC2 doesn't support hotadd. As Joern Heissler suggested, why not remove the hotadd rule from the official images as a workaround?

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1518457] Re: kswapd0 100% CPU usage
I've bisected systemd and found the commit that triggers the bug.
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~thopiekar/systemd/systemd-packaging-ubuntu-
wily/revision/1706 seems to be the one. The commit is a bugfix that
effectively enables hotadd for Xen. That can explain why more or less
only Ubuntu 15.10 is affected, but the underlying mechanism is in the
kernel.
A working workaround on the latest 15.10 is to comment out line 2
(ATTR{[dmi/id]sys_vendor}=="Xen", GOTO="vm_hotadd_apply") in
/lib/udev/rules.d/40-vm-hotadd.rules

The issue first occured on a production workload (JIRA running on Tomcat) on an EC2 t2.small instance after upgrading to 15.10. The issue happens when running out of memory, typicall during busy hours or when nightly Python backup script runs. To reproduce the issue, I use t2.micro (1GiB RAM) because the problem then arises just by starting the JIRA application. I do not see the problem on 14.04 or 15.05 on the same server. Symptoms: kswapd0 falls into a busy loop and spins on 100% CPU usage and swap not being used/barely being used. The system can be recovered with `echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches`, but with high traffic/little free memory, the problem returns immediately. Swappiness has not been changed (vm.swappiness = 60). I can reproduce this consitently on Ubuntu AMIs (https://cloud- images.ubuntu.com/locator/ec2/). I've used AMI ami-c4140aa8 (eu- central-1). I can provide SSH access to a machine on request and have public Puppet scripts to configure a new server. I've attached scripts and logs from an up to date 15.10 and 15.04 instance to compare results with and without the bug. Note that the CPU numbers in the vmstat output doesn't specify which process, but top has showed that the majority of user time is the java process and the majority of system time is the kswapd0 process.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1518457] Re: kswapd0 100% CPU usage
I've tested 15.10 with different versions, including mainline versions, and I can reproduce the bug on the following version: 4.4.0-040400-generic, 4.2.0-23-generic, 4.0.1-040001-generic, 3.19.8-031908-generic, 3.19.0-43-generic. As the latest 15.04 also gives the symptoms, I suspect it's not caused by a specific kernel versions. After downgrading and upgrading different packages between 15.04 and 15.10, I've narrowed it down to udev. Could you all please try downgrading udev (and libudev1) to version 219-7ubuntu6, and see if the symptoms disappear.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1518457] Re: kswapd0 100% CPU usage
Could you share the exact commands to reproduce? I tried dd'ing to run out of memory on r2.micro (1GB memory). Please see the attached command logs. Is this comparable with your results? What I find interesting is that on 15.04, it runs out of free memory and starts waiting for I/O (no noteworthy use of kswapd0), while on 15.10 it starts using kswapd0 up to 100%, even a while after the dd comand has completed. Could you compare this with your own results? Sergii/Sean: do you see the bug on any older kernel versions other than those who come with 15.10? ** Attachment added: "15.04-kswapd0.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1518457/+attachment/4547184/+files/15.04-kswapd0.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1518457 Title: kswapd0 100% CPU usage Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: As per bug 721896 and various others: I'm on an AWS t2.micro instance (Xeon E5-2670, 991MiB of memory).

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1532513] [NEW] kswapd 100% CPU usage and running out of memory without swap being used
Public bug reported: This bug closely resembles bug 1518457 and others, but is reported separately as the affected kernel versions do not match, see comments #45, #43 and #8 on 1518457. The issue first occured on a production workload (JIRA running on Tomcat) on an EC2 t2.small instance after upgrading to 15.10. The issue happens when running out of memory, typicall during busy hours or when nightly Python backup script runs. To reproduce the issue, I use t2.micro (1GiB RAM) because the problem then arises just by starting the JIRA application. I do not see the problem on 14.04 or 15.05 on the same server. Symptoms: kswapd0 falls into a busy loop and spins on 100% CPU usage and swap not being used/barely being used. The system can be recovered with `echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches`, but with high traffic/little free memory, the problem returns immediately. Swappiness has not been changed (vm.swappiness = 60). I can reproduce this consitently on Ubuntu AMIs (https://cloud- images.ubuntu.com/locator/ec2/). I've used AMI ami-c4140aa8 (eu- central-1). I can provide SSH access to a machine on request and have public Puppet scripts to configure a new server. I've attached scripts and logs from an up to date 15.10 and 15.04 instance to compare results with and without the bug. Note that the CPU numbers in the vmstat output doesn't specify which process, but top has showed that the majority of user time is the java process and the majority of system time is the kswapd0 process.

I've attached scripts and logs from an up to date 15.10 and 15.04 instance to compare results with and without the bug. Note that the CPU numbers in the vmstat output doesn't specify which process, but top has showed that the majority of user time is the java process and the majority of system time is the kswapd0 process.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1518457] Re: kswapd0 100% CPU usage
Interesting. I think for now, I should assume that the problem I see is not the same bug. Although the symptoms are very similar with kswapd0 spinning at 100%, swap space not being used, echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches resolving the problem temporarily and the issue first discovered on 15.10 on EC2. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1518457 Title: kswapd0 100% CPU usage Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: As per bug 721896 and various others: I'm on an AWS t2.micro instance (Xeon E5-2670, 991MiB of memory).

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1518457] Re: kswapd0 100% CPU usage
Sorry for commenting in the middle of your ongoing work, but I struggle matching your findings to my own. Just like Sam and Sean reported, I see the bug on EC2 t2.micro running 15.10. I can reproduce it on t2.small as well, but it takes a little longer as I have to exaust the free memory. I've installed several instances with different Ubuntu versions keeping everything the same. I only observe this bug on Ubuntu 15.10 All versions running the latest security updates: 14.04 (3.13.0-74): OK 15:04 (3.19.0-43): OK 15:10 (4.2.0-22): Not OK If I understand the comments correctly, the hypothesis is that the bug was introduced between 3.12 final and 3.13-rc1. To me it seems to have been introduced between 3.19.0-43 and 4.2.0-22. Is that worth double checking? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1518457 Title: kswapd0 100% CPU usage Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: As per bug 721896 and various others: I'm on an AWS t2.micro instance (Xeon E5-2670, 991MiB of memory).
