Upgrade 2.2.27 to 2.3.9.2: master(imap): net_connect_unix(imap) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
Hi,
After upgrading Dovecot from version 2.2.27 to 2.3.9.2, we are
sporadically seeing lots of these errors in the error log on many of our
servers:
imap-login: Error: master(imap): net_connect_unix(imap) failed:
Resource temporarily unavailable -
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SocketUnavailable
The issue is causing significant delays and/or timeouts on login.
From what I can tell, this happens because the imap-login service is
unable to connect to the imap service socket, however I am unable to
identify the root cause of the issue.
We have increased the client_limit for the stats service, as described
in the upgrade document at (https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.3). It
is set to the same value as the process_limit for imap service.
System CPU usage does not appear to be saturated. The CPU usage sits at
around 50% when these errors appear.
We have doubled the number of file descriptors after upgrading from
2.2.27. It was previously set to 16392 (which worked fine):
~# cat /proc/`pidof dovecot`/limits | grep "open files"
Max open files 30000 30000 files
We have tried increasing default_process_limit and default_client_limit
from the default 1000 to 3000, but this has no effect.
Current configuration (with irrelevant parts removed):
~# doveconf -n
default_client_limit = 3000 # these were raised after upgrading in
attempt to remedy
default_process_limit = 3000
default_vsz_limit = 512 M
[...]
service imap-login {
client_limit = 1250
inet_listener imap {
port = 143
}
inet_listener imaps {
port = 993
ssl = yes
}
process_limit = 16
process_min_avail = 16
service_count = 0
vsz_limit = 512 M
}
service imap {
client_limit = 1
process_limit = 20000
}
service stats {
client_limit = 20000
}
[...]
We appear to be nowhere near the 20000 process_limit set for the imap
service. We are also not seeing any warnings being logged with regards
to the process_limit.

Upgrade 2.2.27 to 2.3.9.2: master(imap): net_connect_unix(imap) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
While I not certain that this is related to the problem we are
experiencing, we are also (more rarely) seeing these:
dovecot: master: Warning: service(imap-login): process_limit (16)
reached, client connections are being dropped
imap-login was set to process_limit=16, client_limit=1250 (for a total
of 20000 concurrent clients) on 2.2.27. We never had any issues with
this then.
I tried raising it to client_limit=2500, for a total of 40000 concurrent
connections, but we are still seeing the errors logged every now and then.
Almost every single available imap-login socket is reported as being
used! Is something eating up the sockets processes and not freeing them?

I am counting 37?675 used imap-login sockets (according to dovecot), on
a machine with only ~7500 active TCP connections and a similar number of
logged in users:
~# ss -t | wc -l
7430
~# doveadm process status | grep "^imap " | wc -l
7224
Here is `doveconf -n` for service imap-login again (setup in
"high-performance mode" as described in wiki):
service imap-login {
client_limit = 2500
inet_listener imap {
port = 143
}
inet_listener imaps {
port = 993
ssl = yes
}
process_limit = 16
process_min_avail = 16
service_count = 0
vsz_limit = 512 M
}
I would greatly appreciate some pointers, because this is mindboggling
confusing.

Most client connections are idle, so I doubt if the occasional drop is noticed at all. Also, why a limit of 16?

We are unfortunately still seeing a lot of these errors once the machine
reaches a high number of concurrent users/logins (just below 20k
simultaneous IMAP connections on a powerful 24 core machine with 128GB RAM):

The machine is at insignificant load numbers, and the dovecot process is
somewhere near 25% CPU usage when the problem occurs. It is not close to
saturating its core from what I can tell.
To make sure the issues are not task/fd-limit related, I have set this
in /etc/systemd/system/dovecot.service.d/service.conf:
[Service]
LimitNOFILE=infinity
TasksMax=infinity
~# egrep "processes|files" /proc/`pidof dovecot`/limits
Max processes 514051 514051
Max open files 1048576 1048576
~# cat /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn
65536
~# cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
278528
Dovecot is configured with NFS backed storage, and locally stored
passwdfile userdb/passdb are used for authentication.
Backends are (now) behind directors. The directors/proxies are having no
issues dealing with the traffic whatsoever.
At the time of failure, the process list looks like this:
~# ps -f --ppid `pidof dovecot` | egrep -v "dovecot/(imap|pop3) "

Are there any other tunables either in Dovecot or in the kernel that may

Upgrade 2.2.27 to 2.3.9.2: master(imap): net_connect_unix(imap) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
Embarrassingly, the issue does appear to have been /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn setting all along. It was increased from 128, to 512, to 1024 with full restarts of Dovecot inbetween. However, this was apparently not enough to handle our login bursts. The latest increase, from 1024 to 65536, only had a `doveadm reload` issued, which seemingly does not cause the socket to rebind and therefore still used the old settings. After fully restarting dovecot, the issue -appears- to be gone. At least we survived through the morning spikes today without errors. Apologies for the list spam.
