Public bug reported:
Same as #1655842 - Started seeing oom-killer on multiple servers
upgraded to 4.4.0-59.
Unlike #1655842, also seeing the same oom-killer on multiple servers
updated to 4.8.0-34.
First upgraded them all 4.8 servers 4.8.0-36, then downgraded a few to
4.4.0-63. I am seeing no change in the memory usage, so I can only
assume that 4.4.0-63 is also bugged with the same problem as 4.4.0-59
and 4.8.0-34. Either because #1655842 is not fixed, or it is only fixed
for certain kinds of workloads.
However, on closer inspection, there is definitely a notable difference
between 4.4.0-59 and 4.4.0-63/4.8.0-34.
The symptoms I'm seeing are:
Upgrading 4.4.0-57 -> 4.4.0-59:
- /proc/meminfo:Buffers: Up from 9GB to 15GB
- /proc/meminfo:Cached: Up from 5GB to 10GB
- /proc/meminfo:SReclaimable: Down from 15GB to 5GB.
- /proc/meminfo:SUnreclaim: No notable change
Upgrading 4.4.0-57 -> 4.8.0-34:
- /proc/meminfo:Buffers: Up from 9GB to 14GB
- /proc/meminfo:Cached: Down from 5GB to 2GB
- /proc/meminfo:SReclaimable: Down from 15GB to 14GB.
- /proc/meminfo:SUnreclaim: No notable change
Downgrading 4.8.0-34 -> 4.4.0-63: (however uptime is only 1 hour)
- /proc/meminfo:Buffers: No notable change
- /proc/meminfo:Cached: No notable change
- /proc/meminfo:SReclaimable: No notable change
- /proc/meminfo:SUnreclaim: No notable change
Setting vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 300 seems to have a positive effect of
not causing OOMs.
Downgrading to 4.4.0-57 also works.
