WORK AROUND: # qhost | grep <hostname> SUGGESTED FIX: The 'hostname' attribute is not in the 'host' complex but in the 'queue' complex. For this reason an exechost does not have a 'hostname' attribute.To fix this problem the 'hostname' attribute must be moved into the 'host' complex and the host information must be filled into this complex attribute from the exechost. ------- Additional comments from uddeborg Fri Jun 17 01:55:57 -0700 2005 ------- This problem still remains in 6.0u5 beta ------- Additional comments from sgrell Tue Dec 6 08:37:08 -0700 2005 ------- Changed subcomponent.

I couldn't reproduce it until now, but apparently it only happens when there are several free queues, and also several jobs are submitted. Then apparently the scheduler gets into a loop, does not start any of the waiting jobs, and keeps increasing in memory consumption until it gets stopped. See thread starting at http://gridengine.sunsource.net/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=22410 . Our config: 1. SGE 6.1u2 on master and nodes. 2. openSUSE 10.3 64 bit on master and nodes. 3. 80 queues and 79 parallel environments. We have, at least, one queue and parallel environment per node, see http://gridengine.info/articles/2006/02/14/grouping-jobs-to-nodes-via-wildcard-pes ) 4. mem_free resource added to the hosts and requested in many job submissions. 5. qlicserver administering the number of free licenses. 6. many jobs running parallel on one queue/pe/host, using 4 cores. 7. job submission using wildcards ( i.e.: qsub -pe c*_4_* 4 -l mem_free=6GB,lic1=0.25 script.sh ) The problem: The scheduler takes the whole system memory, going up to between 3 or 4 GBs. (the system has 4 GB RAM) A solution seems to be disabling the queues, restarting SGE, and enabling the queues one by one, leting the scheduler submit one job at a time. I will attach example configuration files for the queues/hosts/PE/sched. config. and so on as suggested by Andreas Haas.

I sent Andreas Haas some more info and log files from sge_schedd output. This is still on 6.1u2 with Andreas patched sge_schedd scheduler (see Issue 2187). Just reopening here, because I can't reopen issue 2187. ------- Additional comments from olle Thu Mar 6 06:42:35 -0700 2008 ------- adding myself to cc list since we see the same on our site (but with more memory it doesn't stop at 4GB). ------- Additional comments from rems0 Thu Mar 6 07:11:05 -0700 2008 ------- Olle, after talking with Andreas Haas, I installed libhoard.so (http://www.hoard.org/) and started sge_schedd with it (changing the sge_schedd starting line in sgemaster to "LD_PRELOAD=/opt/hoard-3.7.1/lib64/libhoard.so sge_schedd"). There seems to be some problems with malloc and threads not freeing memory (or something similar, Andreas could explain this the right way) which could be affecting sge_schedd. Since restarting sge_schedd using hoard I didn't have any memory problems anymore, but this just happened one day ago. Memory consumption of sge_schedd seems now to be less than before. Perhaps you could try also to use hoard! Andreas? cheers, Richard ------- Additional comments from andreas Thu Mar 6 07:30:56 -0700 2008 ------- libhoard is worth a try at all events. It is free, it is easy to apply and finally brings sureness with regards to the question whom to blame for virtual memory growth. Let me know, olle, if you need addtl information on the use of libhoard: ---> andreas@sunsource.net ------- Additional comments from olle Thu Mar 6 08:15:19 -0700 2008 ------- You write "virtual memory growth", but do you with that mean a growth in address space allocated by the process or a false memory growth caused by the memory allocation routines or the kernel itself? (I know there is a memory fragmentation problem in the RHEL4 kernel we use.) Nothing stops us from trying libhoard.so and it can't make it much worse. I will get back when I know the outcome. ------- Additional comments from uddeborg Thu Mar 6 08:35:17 -0700 2008 ------- Can't someone remove the requirement for a comment when adding yourself as a CC? ------- Additional comments from andreas Thu Mar 6 08:48:56 -0700 2008 ------- I refer to cases when the memory allocator library heuristics get outsmareted by an application with the result of endless virtual memory growth with the application process. For illustration I attach a small test program that caused endless memory growth on my MacOS 10.4.<something> laptop when I issued it like this # a.out 1073741824 the program spawns two threads "Producer" and "Consumer". Producer allocates memory using malloc(), Consumer releases it using free(). For passing the allocated memory a pthread lock+condition variables are used. When you look at the program you'll see that all memory gets freed, but the virtual memory consumption of this damn program nevertheless grows into the skys. When I ran the program on a Linux AMD64 box (GNU C Library 2.3.4) no memory growth did happen with this simple program, but there are other test programs that can provoke memory growth under Linux even though all memory is actually free()'d. ------- Additional comments from andreas Thu Mar 6 08:50:45 -0700 2008 ------- Created an attachment (id=156) To be compiled with "gcc -pthread showmetheleak.c" under MacOS 10.4.x ------- Additional comments from andreas Thu Mar 6 08:52:18 -0700 2008 ------- Created an attachment (id=157) To be compiled with "gcc -pthread showmetheleak.c" under MacOS 10.4.x ------- Additional comments from andreas Thu Mar 6 11:06:37 -0700 2008 ------- Changed the summary as to separate this phenomenon from "real" memory leaks i.e. viratual memory growth due to bugs in sge_schedd as covered by issue #2187. Btw. somewhat related is http://ventnorsblog.blogspot.com/2008/02/beta-3.html though it focusses on memory allocator performance, yet this is similarly of interest for us. ------- Additional comments from rayson Thu Mar 6 11:36:33 -0700 2008 ------- Related: issue #1794 Would be great if mallinfo() results can be included in the qping output, so that the admin can see how much memory the qmaster (and the scheduler thread in 6.2) has allocated, and compare the number with external tools such as top and vmstat. ------- Additional comments from olle Tue Mar 11 03:33:41 -0700 2008 ------- libhoard.so did not fix our leak in schedd. :-( Again it stayed at a stable size for a few days and then suddenly starts to allocate all available memory and becomes unresponsive. As a side effect I also ran qmaster with libhoard.so preloaded. Our qmaster grows with about 1GB a day and hoard didn't help here either. ------- Additional comments from andreas Tue Mar 11 05:10:20 -0700 2008 ------- Then we need Raysons qping mallinfo patch. I assume it is AMD64 Linux. ------- Additional comments from rems0 Tue Mar 11 05:23:44 -0700 2008 ------- Olle, are you using Andreas modified sge_schedd? Andreas fixed some bugs on 6.1 which are not in 6.1u3. I'm using a sge_schedd binary Andreas sent me, not the 6.1u2 or 6.1u3 ones. See http://gridengine.sunsource.net/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=users&msgNo=22426 . And http://gridengine.sunsource.net/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=23272 . This new binary has apparently corrected one memory leak problem, but not this apparently memory allocator error I'm seeing now. Andreas? ------- Additional comments from rems0 Tue Mar 11 10:32:57 -0700 2008 ------- The memory leak happened today again, with libhoard enabled. So, despite that libhoard seems to lower memory consumption, a memory leak error seems to be still there. The situation today here was: * Many jobs (around 100) were waiting, some on hold, some not * all queues were disabled I reenabled all queues at once, and the the memory leak appeared (again). ------- Additional comments from olle Wed Mar 12 01:11:48 -0700 2008 ------- We are running 6.0u3 courtesy binaries and the qmaster host is RHEL4 x86_64, just in case someone has built a patched schedd already that is compatible with 6.0u3. ------- Additional comments from andreas Thu Mar 13 01:10:51 -0700 2008 ------- @olle: Sorry for asking, but are you really using 6.0u3? I'm curious since most recent binary set is actually 6.1u3. ------- Additional comments from olle Thu Mar 13 01:20:01 -0700 2008 ------- We are running 6.1u3. :-) ------- Additional comments from andreas Thu Mar 13 03:29:00 -0700 2008 ------- I have prepared a lx24-amd64 sge_schedd binary that dumps mallinfo(3) http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/libc/Statistics-of-Malloc.html at the begin of each scheduling interval into scheduler messages file like this: 03/13/2008 11:12:48|schedd|gally2|W|sbrk 6356992 unused 521 mmap chunks 0 mmap size 0 used 1224624 unused 5132368 top-most 133424 03/13/2008 11:12:49|schedd|gally2|W|sbrk 6356992 unused 2 mmap chunks 0 mmap size 0 used 5182576 unused 1174416 top-most 133424 03/13/2008 11:12:51|schedd|gally2|W|sbrk 6356992 unused 2 mmap chunks 0 mmap size 0 used 5359008 unused 997984 top-most 133424 03/13/2008 11:12:52|schedd|gally2|W|sbrk 6696960 unused 8519 mmap chunks 0 mmap size 0 used 1326608 unused 5370352 top-most 133360 03/13/2008 11:12:54|schedd|gally2|W|sbrk 6356992 unused 521 mmap chunks 0 mmap size 0 used 1224624 unused 5132368 top-most 133424 03/13/2008 11:12:55|schedd|gally2|W|sbrk 6356992 unused 2 mmap chunks 0 mmap size 0 used 5161344 unused 1195648 top-most 133424 03/13/2008 11:12:57|schedd|gally2|W|sbrk 7032832 unused 2 mmap chunks 0 mmap size 0 used 5337472 unused 1695360 top-most 809264 03/13/2008 11:12:58|schedd|gally2|W|sbrk 6356992 unused 524 mmap chunks 0 mmap size 0 used 1326048 unused 5030944 top-most 133424 03/13/2008 11:13:00|schedd|gally2|W|sbrk 6356992 unused 2 mmap chunks 0 mmap size 0 used 5124816 unused 1232176 top-most 133424 03/13/2008 11:13:01|schedd|gally2|W|sbrk 6455296 unused 7751 mmap chunks 0 mmap size 0 used 1224624 unused 5230672 top-most 131824 03/13/2008 11:13:03|schedd|gally2|W|sbrk 6455296 unused 7751 mmap chunks 0 mmap size 0 used 1224624 unused 5230672 top-most 131824 03/13/2008 11:13:04|schedd|gally2|W|sbrk 6455296 unused 7751 mmap chunks 0 mmap size 0 used 1224624 unused 5230672 top-most 131824 03/13/2008 11:13:06|schedd|gally2|W|sbrk 6455296 unused 7751 mmap chunks 0 mmap size 0 used 1224624 unused 5230672 top-most 131824 03/13/2008 11:13:07|schedd|gally2|W|sbrk 6455296 unused 540 mmap chunks 0 mmap size 0 used 1224624 unused 5230672 top-most 231728 I built this binary from current V61BRANCH i.e. running it in an environment with 6.1u3 binaries should be no problem. @Richard/Olle: My hope is that mallinfo(3) helps us to finally gain certainty about this phenomenon. It tells us exactly how much the malloc library got from the OS ("sbrk"), how much it passed to the application ("used") and how much is unused ("unused").

For illustration I'll attach the source diff and the scheduler messages file I got from it. ------- Additional comments from andreas Thu Apr 3 02:14:46 -0700 2008 ------- Created an attachment (id=161) mallinfo(3) source patch ------- Additional comments from andreas Thu Apr 3 02:19:44 -0700 2008 ------- Created an attachment (id=162) Scheduler messages file with much more mallinfo(3) loggings ------- Additional comments from olle Tue Apr 8 06:12:28 -0700 2008 ------- Created an attachment (id=163) message file from schedd with more mallinfo ------- Additional comments from andreas Tue Apr 8 07:13:05 -0700 2008 ------- We believe we have found the culprit: static void schedd_mes_find_others(lList *job_list, int ignore_category) { if (tmp_sme && job_list) { lListElem *message_elem = NULL; /* MES_Type */ lRef category = NULL; /* Category pointer (void*) */ lList *jid_cat_list = NULL; /* ULNG */ int create_new_jid_cat_list = 0; lList *message_list = lGetList(tmp_sme, SME_message_list); /* * Here we have a list of message elements where each * MES_job_number_list containes only one id. * We have to find the other jobs (jids) which have the same category. */ for_each(message_elem, message_list) { lList *jid_list = lGetList(message_elem, MES_job_number_list); u_long32 jid; lRef jid_category; jid = lGetUlong(lFirst(jid_list), ULNG); jid_category = schedd_mes_get_category(jid, job_list); /* * Initilize jid_cat_list if not initialized * or if category differs from the last run */ if (category != jid_category || ignore_category) { jid_cat_list = schedd_mes_get_same_category_jids(jid_category, job_list, ignore_category); category = jid_category; create_new_jid_cat_list = 0; } else { create_new_jid_cat_list = 1; } /* * Replace the MES_job_number_list which containes only one jid * with a list of jids (all have same category */ if (create_new_jid_cat_list) { lSetList(message_elem, MES_job_number_list, lCopyList("", jid_cat_list)); } else { lSetList(message_elem, MES_job_number_list, jid_cat_list); } } } } It appears *FORMALLEY* it is no memory leak even though immense memory growth occurs. Anyone suffering from this sympthom please try to set schedd_job_info in sched_conf(5) to 'false'. ------- Additional comments from olle Wed Apr 9 00:04:22 -0700 2008 ------- Andreas, can this really explain the pattern in we see? If so, what triggers the sudden memory explosion that occurs after hours of stable operation? The normal virtual size we see is about 200MB. When it starts to grow it becomes unresponsive and increases above 18GB in no time at all. I guess it would grow even more on a host with more memory. In my last attachment we had schedd restarted by a cronjob when it exceeded 500MB, but I can increase the limit if it helps debugging. ------- Additional comments from andreas Thu Apr 10 00:14:17 -0700 2008 ------- It can, Olle. We ran into this memory growth by incident in a simulated cluster setup with 3000 Hosts x 3 Clusterqueues x 500 Jobs. The jobs were not dispatchable due to an unsatisfiable -l arch request. Outcome was the scheduler generated 9000 single schedd_job_info messages for the first job i.e. one for each queue instance. Then for each subsequent job schedd_mes_find_others() was called as to attach each jobs' job id to each of the 9000 messages in order to actually reuse the message. This activity took ages while schedd memory consumption skyrocketed though the roof. Roland and I tracked it down successfully using dtrace on a S10/AMD64 machine. Btw. the workaround for qstat -j <jobid> is qalter -w v <jobid>. The latter one is by far more good natured since diagnosis messages are created on-demand and only for the job in question. In our opinion repairing schedd_job_info is not doable as it will always consume immense resources in large clusters in sick cases. That means we plan to abolish it in a past 6.2 version and as replacement possibly flesh-up "-w v|w|e|n" option e.g. with a new option argument V whose purpose were to do the dry scheduling run in the cluster with all resource debitations in place. Note, the 'v' does also a dry scheduling run, but it assumes the cluster be empty as to answer the question whether the job could be run at all. --> Feedback appreciated! ------- Additional comments from uddeborg Thu Apr 10 00:28:08 -0700 2008 ------- I've now disabled schedd_job_info. (I and Olle are working with the same installation.) It will be interesting to see if the problems go away. ------- Additional comments from rems0 Thu Apr 10 02:24:04 -0700 2008 ------- Andreas, great that you have found the culprit! Is there a way to trigger this "schedd_job_info" thing, so I can get the "memory leak" before turning "schedd_job_info" to false? Submitting lots of jobs which cannot be dispatched? thanks, Richard ------- Additional comments from andreas Thu Apr 10 06:23:35 -0700 2008 ------- Switched schedd_job_info to false in install time scheduler profile "normal" for 6.2 in MAINTRUNK. @Richard: Submitting lots of jobs which cannot be dispatched will bring you the case only if you do it in a way that SGE must generate a qstat -j message for each queue instance. Otherwise the code behaves relatively well. In our case jobs were requesting a resource string value -l name=<value> which didn't match with anything. In case of wildcard PE requests with one PE for each host this gets you <number of PEs> x <number of hosts> x <number of queues> single messages, if these jobs can't be dispatched e.g. due to wrong -l arch=<val> request. ------- Additional comments from rems0 Fri Apr 11 08:23:50 -0700 2008 ------- Thanks Andreas. Doing what you proposed (+ having enough free queues/slots) I could trigger the "memory leak". And after disabling schedd_job_info everything is running fine. So I can confirm that disabling schedd_job_info works for ME. 8) This is great news! Thank you Andreas and the SUN SGE Team for all your effort and good work !!! Richard ------- Additional comments from andreas Fri Apr 11 08:35:35 -0700 2008 ------- Thank *YOU* Richard for your patience! ------- Additional comments from uddeborg Wed Apr 23 04:53:31 -0700 2008 ------- After having run without schedd_job_info for almost two weeks without schedd blowing up, I feel pretty confident this change did indeed help. Tha lack of scheduler information in qstat output is a problem, though. Now it is much harder to debug why a job doesn't get dispatched. I haven't found "qalter -w v <jobid>" to be very useful in most cases. The common question is something like. Why isn't it running no X@Y for example, which is free?" That isn't answered by "qalter -w v". ------- Additional comments from andreas Wed Apr 23 07:46:13 -0700 2008 ------- @Uddeborg: The problem you raise should be covred by the -w V which I proposed in issue #2548 whose claim is to abolish schedd_job_info entirely. ------- Additional comments from uddeborg Wed Apr 23 23:40:45 -0700 2008 ------- Then it is fine. I wasn't quite sure what information your "-w V" flag would give, so I thought I better describe the typical use case. Just to be clear. |
