Javaday / ParisJug 2022 - Remèdes aux oomkill, warm-ups, et lenteurs pour des conteneurs JVM

Mes conteneurs JVM sont en prod, oups ils se font _oomkill_, _oups_ le démarrage traîne en longueur, _oups_ ils sont lent en permanence. Nous avons vécu ces situations.

Ces problèmes émergent parce qu’un conteneur est par nature un milieu restreint. Sa configuration a un impact sur le process Java cependant ce process a lui aussi des besoins pour fonctionner.

Il y a un espace entre la heap Java et le RSS : c’est la mémoire off-heap et elle se décompose en plusieurs zones. À quoi servent-elles ? Comment les prendre en compte ? La configuration du CPU impacte la JVM sur divers aspects : Quelles sont les influences entre le GC et le CPU ? Que choisir entre la rapidité ou la consommation CPU au démarrage ?

Au cours de cette université nous verrons comment diagnostiquer, comprendre et remédier à ces problèmes.

  1. Agenda My container gets oomkilled How does the memory actually

    work Some case in hands Container gets respawned Things that slow down startup Break
  2. The containers are restarting. What’s going on ? $ kubectl

    get pods NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE my-pod-5759f56c55-cjv57 3/3 Running 7 3d1h $ kubectl describe pod my-pod-5759f56c55-cjv57 ... State: Running Started: Mon, 06 Jun 2020 13:39:40 +0200 Last State: Terminated Reason: OOMKilled Exit Code: 137 Started: Thu, 06 Jun 2020 09:20:21 +0200 Finished: Mon, 06 Jun 2020 13:39:38 +0200
  3. 🔥 🔥 🔥🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🚨 Crisis mode 🚨

    If containers are oomkilled Just increase the container memory limits and investigate later
  4. Linux Oomkiller • Out Of Memory Killer Linux mechanism employed

    to kill processes when the memory is critically low • For regular processes the oomkiller selects the bad ones. • Within a restrained container, i.e. with memory limits, ◦ If available memory reaches 0 in this container then the oomkiller terminates all processes ◦ There is usually a single process in container
  5. Linux oomkiller and containers Monitor it • kube_pod_container_status_last_terminated_reason, if the

    exit code is 137, the attached reason label will be set to OOMKilled • Trigger an alert by coupling with kube_pod_container_status_restarts_total Synthetic oomkill docker run --memory-swap=100m --memory=100m \ --rm -it azul/zulu-openjdk:11 \ java -Xms100m -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch --version
  6. Monitor the resident memory of a process Eg with micrometer

    you may have those • Heap Max : jvm_memory_max_bytes • Heap Live : jvm_memory_bytes_used • Process RSS : process_memory_rss_bytes And system ones, eg Kubernetes metrics • Container RSS : container_memory_rss • Memory limit : kube_pod_container_resource_limi ts_memory_bytes RSS Heap Max Heap Liveset memory limit
  7. Memory As JVM based developers • Used to think about

    JVM Heap sizing, mostly -Xms, -Xmx, … • Possibly some deployment use container-aware flags: -XX:MinRAMPercentage, -XX:MaxRAMPercentage, … JVM Heap Xmx or MaxRAMPercentage
  8. Why should I be concerned by native? Still have no

    idea what is happening off-heap How can you size properly the heap or the container ? JVM Heap
  9. JVM Memory Breakdown Running A JVM requires memory: • The

    Java Heap • The Meta Space (pre-JDK 8 the Permanent Generation) • Direct byte buffers • Code cache (compiled code) • Garbage Collector (like card table) • Compiler (C1/C2) • Threads • Symbols • etc. JVM subsystems
  10. JVM Memory Breakdown Except a few flags for meta space,

    code cache, or direct memory There’s no control over memory consumption of the other components But It is possible to get their size at runtime.
  11. By monitoring Eg with micrometer Time series • jvm_memory_used_bytes •

    jvm_memory_committed_bytes • jvm_memory_max_bytes Dimensions • area : heap or nonheap • id : memory zone, depends on GC and JVM (e.g. G1 Eden Space, Compressed Class Space…)
  12. Monitoring is only as good as data is there Observability

    metrics rely on MBean to get memory areas Most JVM don’t export metrics for everything that uses memory
  13. jcmd – a swiss knife Get the actual flag values

    $ jcmd $(pidof java) VM.flags | tr ' ' '\n' 6: ... -XX:InitialHeapSize=4563402752 -XX:InitialRAMPercentage=85.000000 -XX:MarkStackSize=4194304 -XX:MaxHeapSize=4563402752 -XX:MaxNewSize=2736783360 -XX:MaxRAMPercentage=85.000000 -XX:MinHeapDeltaBytes=2097152 -XX:NativeMemoryTracking=summary ... PID Xms Xmx
  14. JVM’s Native Memory Tracking 1. Start the JVM with -XX:NativeMemoryTracking=summary

    2. Later run jcmd $(pidof java) VM.native_memory Modes • summary • detail • baseline/ diff

  18. Direct byte buffers Those are the memory segments that are

    allocated outside the Java heap. Unused buffers are only freed upon GC. Netty for example use them. • < JDK 11, they are reported in the Internal section • ≥ JDK 11, they are reported in the Other section Internal (reserved=24460KB, committed=24460KB) Other (reserved=267034KB, committed=267034KB)
  19. Garbage Collection Full blown memory management for the Java Heap

    (and Metaspace) Requires memory for its internal data structures (like G1 regions, remembered sets, etc.) On small containers this might be a thing to consider GC (reserved=230739KB, committed=230739KB) (malloc=32031KB #63631) (mmap: reserved=198708KB, committed=198708KB)
  20. 💡Memory mapped files They are not reported by Native Memory

    Tracking, at this time But are be accounted in the RSS.
  21. Native Memory Tracking 👍 Good insights on the JVM sub-systems,

    but Does NMT show everything ? Nope Is NMT data correct ? Yes, but not for resident memory usage ⚠ Careful about the overhead! Measure if this is important for you !
  22. Huh what virtual, committed, reserved memory? virtual memory : memory

    management technique that provides an "idealized abstraction of the storage resources that are actually available on a given machine" which "creates the illusion to users of a very large memory". reserved memory : Contiguous chunk of memory from the virtual memory that the program requested to the OS. committed memory : writable subset of reserved memory, might be backed by physical storage
  23. Xmx = 4,25 GiB theory reality Touched pages of Java

    heap = 3 GiB Touched off-heap Xmx RSS Memory limit = 5 GiB Total: reserved=7168324KB, committed=5380868KB
  24. RSS is the real footprint Only dirty memory page count

    for the oomkiller $ ps o pid,rss -p $(pidof java) PID RSS 6 4701120
  25. What does it means with JVM flags ? -Xms /

    -Xmx for the Java heap -XX:MaxPermSize, -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize, -Xss, -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize ⇒ indication of how much memory heap memory is/can be reserved ⚠ These flags do have a big impact on JVM subsystems, bad settings may trigger unwanted behaviors : - GC if metaspace is too small - Heap resizing ig Xms ≠ Xmx - … Be careful
  26. Avoid -XX:*RAMPercentage Sets the Java heap size as a function

    of the available physical memory. It works. ⚠ Small containers -XX:InitialRAMPercentage ⟹ -Xms mem < 96MiB -XX:MinRAMPercentage mem > 96MiB -XX:MaxRAMPercentage ⟹ -Xmx
  27. Avoid -XX:*RAMPercentage Different environments ⇒ different load, different subsystem behavior

    E.g. preprod : 100 req/s 👉 40 java threads total 👉 mostly liveness endpoints 👉 low versatility in data 👉 low GC activity requirement prod-us : 1000 req/s 👉 200 java threads total 👉 mostly business endpoints 👉 variance in data 👉 higher GC requirements
  28. Avoid -XX:*RAMPercentage 1 GiB 4 GiB prod-us preprod Java heap

    ≃ 850 MiB Java heap ≃ 3.4 GiB MaxRAMPercentage = 85 ~ 150 MiB for every subsystems Maybe OK for quiet workloads ~ 600 MiB for every subsystems Likely not enough for loaded systems ⟹ leads to oomkill
  29. Avoid -XX:*RAMPercentage Traffic, Load are not linear, and do not

    have linear effects • MaxRAMPercentage is a linear function of the container available RAM • Too low MaxRAMPercentage ⟹ waste of space • Too high MaxRAMPercentage ⟹ risk of oomkills • Requires to find the sweet spot for all deployments • Requires to adjust if load changes • Need to convert back a percentage to raw value
  30. How to configure memory requirement Off heap memory consumption is

    hard to estimate with prod load • Require to understand the each JVM subsystem and make predictions. • Fixing some of these values may have side effect, and it needs to be maintained. We propose instead an empiric approach
  31. How to configure memory requirement In our experience it’s best

    to actually retrofit. What does it mean ? Give a larger memory limit to the container, much higher than the max heap size. Heap Container memory limit at 5 GiB
  32. How to configure memory requirement In our experience it’s best

    to actually retrofit. What does it mean ? Give a larger memory limit to the container, much higher than the max heap size. 1. Observe the RSS evolution Heap RSS Container memory limit at 5 GiB
  33. How to configure memory requirement In our experience it’s best

    to actually retrofit. What does it mean ? Give a larger memory limit to the container, much higher than the max heap size. 1. Observe the RSS evolution 2. If RSS stabilizes after some time Heap RSS RSS stabilizing Container memory limit at 5 GiB
  34. How to configure memory requirement In our experience it’s best

    to actually retrofit. What does it mean ? Give a larger memory limit to the container, much higher than the max heap size. 1. Observe the RSS evolution 2. If RSS stabilizes after some time 3. Set the new memory limit with enough leeway (eg 200 MiB) Heap RSS New memory limit With some leeway for RSS increase Container memory limit at 5 GiB
  35. How to configure memory requirement If RSS less than Heap

    size at start, it’s the trap of virtual memory. If actual heap usage grows up to Xmx (i.e touched pages), this will lead to oomkill RSS Touched pages of Java heap = 3 GiB Touched off-heap Theoric Java heap memory available Actual available memory
  36. How to configure memory requirement To avoid the virtual memory

    pitfall use -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch All Java heap pages touched RSS
  37. Other things to consider • Growing number of Direct byte

    buffers (e.g. with Netty, and used in other libraries like gRPC) • Native allocator, glibc’s malloc can be fragmenting the native memory. Slow but steady increase of memory Can represent Gigabytes on long running containers • Memory mapped files In theory reclaimable memory, but still account in RSS
  38. Quick Fix Increase Probe liveness timeout (either initial delay or

    interval) livenessProbe: httpGet: path: / port: 8080 initialDelaySeconds: 60 periodSeconds: 10
  39. Troubleshooting Compile Time Use jstat -compiler <pid> to see cumulated

    compilation time (in s) $ jstat -compiler 1 Compiled Failed Invalid Time FailedType FailedMethod 6002 0 0 101.16 0
  40. Troubleshooting using JFR Use java -XX:StartFlightRecording jcmd 1 JFR.dump name=1

    filename=petclinic.jfr jfr print --events jdk.CompilerStatistics petclinic.jfr
  41. Measuring startup time docker run --cpus=<n> -ti spring-petclinic CPUs JVM

    Startup time (s) Compile time (s) 4 8.402 17.36 2 8.458 10.17 1 15.797 20.22 0.8 20.731 21.71 0.4 41.55 46.51 0.2 86.279 92.93
  42. C1 vs C2 C1 + C2 C1 only # compiled

    methods 6,117 5,084 # C1 compiled methods 5,254 5,084 # C2 compiled methods 863 0 Total Time (ms) 21,678 1,234 Total Time in C1 (ms) 2,071 1,234 Total Time in C2 (ms) 19,607 0
  43. Compiler Settings To only use C1 JIT compiler: -XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1 To

    adjust C2 compiler threads: -XX:CICompilerCount=<n>
  44. Measuring startup time docker run --cpus=<n> -ti spring-petclinic CPUs JVM

    Startup time (s) Compile time (s) JVM Startup time (s) XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1 Compile time (s) 4 8.402 17.36 6.908 (-18%) 1.47 2 8.458 10.17 6.877 (-19%) 1.41 1 15.797 20.22 8.821 (-44%) 1.74 0.8 20.731 21.71 10.857 (-48%) 2.08 0.4 41.55 46.51 22.225 (-47%) 3.67 0.2 86.279 92.93 45.706 (-47%) 6.95
  45. GC

  46. Settings properly GC: Metadata Threshold To avoid Full GC for

    loading more class anre Metaspace resize: Set initial Metaspace size high enough to load all your required classes -XX:MetaspaceSize=512M
  47. Settings properly GC Use a fixed heap size : -Xms

    = -Xmx -XX:InitialHeapSize = -XX:MaxHeapSize Heap resize done during Full GC for SerialGC & Parallel GC. G1 is able to resize without FullGC (regions, not the metaspace)
  48. GC ergonomics: GC selection To verify in log GC (-Xlog:gc):

    CPU Memory GC < 2 < 2GB Serial ≥ 2 < 2GB Serial < 2 ≥ 2GB Serial ≥ 2 ≥ 2 GB Parallel(<JDK9) / G1(≥JDK9) [0.004s][info][gc] Using G1
  49. GC ergonomics: # threads selection -XX:ParallelGCThreads=<n> Used for Parallelizing work

    during STW phases -XX:ConcGCThreads=<n> Used for concurrent work while application is running
  50. CPU shares Sharing cpu among containers of a node Correspond

    to Requests for Kubernetes Allow to use all the CPUs if needed sharing with all others containers $ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu.weight 20 $ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu.weight 10 resources: requests: cpu: 500m resources: requests: cpu: 250m
  51. CPU quotas Fixing limits of CPU used by a container

    Correspond to Limits to kubernetes resources: limits: cpu: 500m resources: limits: cpu: 250m $ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu.max 50000 100000 $ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu.max 25000 100000
  52. Shares / Quotas Shares and quota have nothing to do

    with a hardware socket resources: limits: cpu: 1 limits: cpu: 1
  53. availableProcessors ergonomics Setting CPU shares/quotas have a direct impact on

    Runtime.availableProcessors() API Runtime.availableProcessors() API is used to : • size some concurrent structures • ForkJoinPool, used for Parallel Streams, CompletableFuture, …
  54. Tuning CPU Trade-off cpu needs for startup time VS request

    time • Adjust CPU shares / CPU quotas • Adjust liveness timeout • Use readiness / startup probes
  55. Memory • JVM memory is not only Java heap •

    Native parts are less known, and difficult to monitor and estimate • Yet they are important moving part to account to avoid OOMKills • Bonus revise virtual memory 💡 Careful with the units, KB ≠ KiB
  56. Startup • Containers with <2 cpus are an constraint environment

    for JVM • Need to keep in mind that JVM subsystems like JIT or GC need to be adjusted for requirements • To be aware of these subsystems helps to find the balance between resources and requirements of your application
