请使用RHEL/CentOS 6.4及更新版本内核的MySQL同志们注意,vm.swappiness = 0的默认行为修改了,如果继续设置vm.swappiness = 0,有可能导致系统内存溢出,从而导致MySQL被意外kill掉。
在之前的《LINUX上MYSQL优化三板斧》中,我们建议大家把 vm.swappiness = 0 设置好。来尽量避免MySQL的服务器内存被交换出去。这样Linux在把内存交换出去时更偏向于将cache页交换出去,而不是将inactive页交换出去。详细描述请参考:http://www.woqutech.com/?p=1200。
经常有人会问, vm.swappiness = 0会不会导致Linux在有swap空间的时候也不交换出去,从而导致内存溢出(OOM)。参照《LINUX上MYSQL优化三板斧》介绍,我们知道,这个值只是一个Linux在判断是否交换内存(swap)的一个“倾向”参考值,而并不是说,设置为0以后,Linux就完全不会使用内存交换空间。
但是,在较新的内核中(2.6.32-303.el6及以后),vm.swappiness = 0 的默认行为修改掉了,这个说法不再成立。设置该参数vm.swappiess=0,有可能导致MySQL数据库所在的系统出现内存溢出。一般来说,MySQL数据库占用的内存是整个服务器中最大的,根据Linux的策略,它会会首先把MySQL给Kill掉(调整?/proc/(pidof -s mysqld)/oom_adj可以改变OOM时kill的优先级),从而导致应用故障等。
这个修改是在内核3.5-rc1中提交的,并且合并到了2.6.32-303.el6及之后的各个版本。先让我们来看看这个patch:

Subject: [PATCH] mm: avoid swapping out with swappiness==0
Sometimes we'd like to avoid swapping out anonymous memory. ?In
particular, avoid swapping out pages of important process or process
groups while there is a reasonable amount of pagecache on RAM so that we
can satisfy our customers' requirements.
OTOH, we can control how aggressive the kernel will swap memory pages with
/proc/sys/vm/swappiness for global and
/sys/fs/cgroup/memory/memory.swappiness for each memcg.
But with current reclaim implementation, the kernel may swap out even if
we set swappiness=0 and there is pagecache in RAM.
This patch changes the behavior with swappiness==0. ?If we set
swappiness==0, the kernel does not swap out completely (for global reclaim
until the amount of free pages and filebacked pages in a zone has been
reduced to something very very small (nr_free + nr_filebacked
watermark)).

就像Satoru Moriya所说的那样,在之前的版本中,就算我们设置了swappiness=0并且RAM中还有pagecache,内核也可能会交换出部分匿名内存页。而为了“满足用户的需求”,这个patch修改了swappiness=0的行为,如果你设置swappiness=0,那么只有在(nr_free + nr_filebacked
在2.6.32-303.el6 RHEL/CentOS及更新版本的内核中,该patch就已经被合并进来:

其他分发版本的Linux(比如Debian,Ubuntu)的版本中,请各位自己查阅一下,看看时候已经合并该patch。
RHEL/CentOS 6.3的内核版本是2.6.32-279,而RHEL/CentOS 6.4的内核为2.6.32-358,从这个版本开始,swappiness的行为就已经修改了,使用这个版本及之后版本的同志们需要特别注意一下。
解决的办法其实也很简单,
1、尽量保证Linux操作系统还有足够的内存
2、最新的内核,建议把vm.swappiness设置1
3、考虑设置 /proc/(pidof -s mysqld)/oom_adj为较小的值来尽量避免MySQL由于内存不足而被关闭。
