ORACLE Active dataguard 一个latch: row cache objects BUG

在Active dataguard遇到latch: row cache objects 查询如下语句
select a.SAMPLE_TIME,a.SQL_ID,a.EVENT,a.P1TEXT,a.P1,a.P2TEXT,a.P2,a.P3TEXT,a.P3,
 b.f2
  from v$active_session_history a,  
  (select max(b.SQL_TEXT) f2,sql_id from  v$sql b group by sql_id ) b
 where a.sql_id = b.sql_id
   and a.SAMPLE_TIME < sysdate - 1
   and a.SAMPLE_TIME >
       to_date('2017-07-04 11:04:30', 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss')
   and a.sql_id is not null
   and a.event is not null
 order by a.sample_time
如下很多latch: row cache objects：




通过metalink找到：

• P1 = Latch address
• P2 = Latch number
• P3 = Tries

查询：
地址换算为0X16进制就是下面的

Bug 17608518  "row cache objects" latch contention on dc_rollback_segments

Affects:

Product (Component)	Oracle Server (Rdbms)
Range of versions believed to be affected	Versions BELOW 12.1
Versions confirmed as being affected	11.2.0.4 11.2.0.3 11.2.0.2
Platforms affected	Generic (all / most platforms affected)

Description

High Row Cache contention on dc_rollback_segments in Data Guard Active Standby (ADG)
manifested with wait events "latch: row cache objects" or "Child row cache objects".
 
This fix provides a latchless enhancement for alleviating "row cache objects" latch contention
on dc_rollback_segments. It is primarily intended for read-only environments such as Active 
Data Guard since row cache lookups for other purposes such as writes will cause the 
latchless lookups to fail and fall back to the latching mechanism, increasing overhead. 
 
Therefore, this enhancement needs to be used with care in a read-write environments.
 
After applying patch the fix must be enabled by setting event 17608518 at level 3.
 
If using a pfile add following line:
 
  event='17608518 trace name context forever, level 3'
 
If using spfile, add event like:
 
 SQL> alter system set event = '17608518 trace name context forever, level 3' scope=spfile sid='*';
 
Restart the standby for event to be in effect.
