[zfs-discuss] arc_no_grow is set to 1 and never set back to 0
Hello.
I have a Solaris 11/11 x86 box (which I migrated from SolEx 11/10 a couple of
weeks ago).
Without no obvious reason (at least for me), after an uptime of 1 to 2 days
(observed 3 times now) Solaris sets arc_no_grow to 1 and then never sets it back
to 0. ARC is being shrunk to less than 1 GB -- needless to say that performance
is terrible. There is not much load on this system.
Memory seems to be not an issue (see below).
I looked at the old Nevada code base of onnv_147 and can''t find a
reason for this happening.
How can I find out what''s causing this?
BTW: I was not seeing this on SolEx 11/10.
Thanks,
Peter

Well it looks like the only place this get''s changed is in the
arc_reclaim_thread for opensolaris.? I suppose you could dtrace it to see what
is going on and investigate what is happening to the return code of the
arc_reclaim_needed is.

Thanks. The guys from Oracle are currently looking at some new code that was
introduced in arc_reclaim_thread() between b151a and b175.

[zfs-discuss] arc_no_grow is set to 1 and never set back to 0
The interesting bit is what happens inside arc_reclaim_needed(),
that is, how it arrives at the conclusion that there is memory pressure.
Maybe we could trace arg0, which gives the location where
we have left the function. This would finger which return path
arc_reclaim_needed() took.

----- Original Message -----
Well it looks like the only place this get''s changed is in the
arc_reclaim_thread for opensolaris. I suppose you could dtrace it to see what is
going on and investigate what is happening to the return code of the
arc_reclaim_needed is.
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/common/fs/zfs/arc.c#2089
maybe
dtrace -n ''fbt:zfs:arc_reclaim_needed:return { trace(arg1) }''
