TNS-12518 & Linux Error：32：Broken pipe-阿里云开发者社区

最近一周，有一台ORACLE数据库服务器的监听服务在凌晨2点过几分的时间点突然崩溃，以前从没有出现过此类情况，但是最近一周出现了两次这种情况,检查时发现了如下一些信息：

$ lsnrctl services

检查监听服务的日志信息（/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/network/log/listener.log)，发现如下信息

第二次错误信息截图

在metalink上查到ID 550859.1，出现Linux Error: 32: Broken pipe这个错误的原因大概有下面一些因素导致：

Cause:

The error 32 indicates the communication has been broken while the listener is trying to hand off the client connection to the server process or dispatcher process.

Action:

1. One of reason would be processes parameter being low, and can be verified by the v$resource_limit view.

2. In Shared Server mode, check the 'lsnrctl services' output and see if the dispatcher has refused any connections, if so, then consider increasing the number of dispatchers.

3. Check the alert log for any possible errors.

4. Memory resource is also another cause for this issue. Check the swap, memory usage of the OS.

1：错误原因之一：processes参数的值偏低

关于v$resource_limit，如下所示

Column	Datatype	Description
RESOURCE_NAME	VARCHAR2(30)	资源名	Name of the resource
CURRENT_UTILIZATION	NUMBER	资源的当前使用量	Number of (resources, locks, or processes) currently being used
MAX_UTILIZATION	NUMBER	实例启动以来，资源使用达到的最大值	Maximum consumption of this resource since the last instance start-up
INITIAL_ALLOCATION	VARCHAR2(10)	初始化值，一般等于limit_value	Initial allocation. This will be equal to the value specified for the resource in the initialization parameter file (UNLIMITED for infinite allocation).
LIMIT_VALUE	VARCHAR2(10)	系统设置的资源值	Unlimited for resources and locks. This can be greater than the initial allocation value (UNLIMITED for infinite limit).

如下所示，我们可以发现自从实例启动以来，processes的最大值为152，而LIMIT_VALUE的值为170，所以可以排除这个原因导致上述错误。

2：如下所示，shared_servers的值大于1,服务器是共享模式

客户端连接数据库都是专用服务器模式dedicated server connection，如下所示

lsnrctl services 查看时并没有发现dispatcher has refused any connections，所以也可以排除dispatchers数量偏少的原因。这个如下截图所示

3: 关于内存资源不足会导致该错误，如下所示，服务器RAM 16G，物理内存基本使用完，但是Swap基本上没有使用多少，有点嫌疑，但是还是没有明显的证据。

查看系统日志messages，如下所示，第一次在02:07有一条错误记录，查看了一些资料后，判定应该是由内存访问越界造成的。这个倒是一个支持内存不足导致监听服务错误的有力证据。

The core indicates that the program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault .

SIGSEGV is reported for improper memory handling .The default action for a program upon receiving

SIGSEGV is abnormal termination. This action will end the process.

The virtual memory stats (vmstat) output may show huge paging/swapping activity .

For Example:

-------------

$vmstat 5 7 The si and so column under the swap section suggests the amount of memory swapped in from disk (/s)and amount of memory swapped to disk (/s) respectively.

Note: You may also use the top command to check the system memory usage.

CAUSE

Extensive paging/swapping activity is a clear indication that the system is running out of the physical memory.

SOLUTION

Solution :

1. Increase the physical memory of the system.

2. Apply the Patch 6139856 for unpublished Bug 6139856 if available for your platform.

3. Configure Hugepages on the OS. Ref : Note 361323.1

A Note on HugePages:

Hugepages is a mechanism that allows the Linux kernel to utilise the multiple page size capabilities of modern hardware architectures. Its important to know that utilising a huge amount of physical memory with the default page size consumes the TLB and adds processing overhead. The Linux kernel is able to set aside a portion of physical memory to be able be addressed using a larger page size. Since the page size is higher, there will be less overhead managing the pages with the TLB. In the Linux 2.6 series of kernels, hugepages is enabled using the CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE feature when the kernel is built. Systems with large amount of memory can be configured to utilise the memory more efficiently by setting aside a portion dedicated for hugepages. The actual size of the page is dependent on the system architecture. A typical x86 system will have a Huge Page Size of 2048 kBytes. The huge page size may be found by looking at the /proc/meminfo :

# cat /proc/meminfo |grep Hugepagesize Hugepagesize: 2048 kB

For more on configuring Hugepages please refer Note 361323.1

BUG:6752308 - LISTENER DIED BY SEGFAULT AFTER TNS ERROR

NOTE:361323.1 - HugePages on Linux: What It Is... and What It Is Not...

如上官方文档所示，有三个解决方案：

1：增加系统物理内存

2：打补丁Patch 6139856

3：启用HugePage设置

鉴于当时操作系统有100多天没有重启过了，于是在2014-12-12 23：00重启了一下Linux服务器，到目前为止已经运行了3天，暂时没有出现这个错误。因为有可能一些内存泄露也会导致内存资源不足情况，例如，TNSListener Leaking Memory Using Dedicated Server (文档 ID 785742.1)。所以暂时没有实施上面方案2、3、想运行一段时间，验证一下自己的想法，如果还是出现这个错误，则尝试方案2、3、

[root@ceglnx01 ~]# who -b

system boot 2014-12-12 23:11

从另外一方面分析，在凌晨2点过几分出现这个错误，是因为，有两个比较大的作业在此时运行。消耗的服务器资源比较大，所以也从侧面验证了内存资源不足。

另外，在网上看到listener.log日志文件大于2G时，也可能出现这个问题。所以有时候也需要排查“监听日志文件过大可能也是导致监听器自己服务宕掉”。
