Postgres与OS内核相关的几个参数设置

Postgres与OS内核相关的几个参数设置
 
Postgres在postgresql.conf里面的配置参数有几个是和OS的内核参数紧密相关的,通常默认值是偏小的,但设置过大也会造成Postgres的启动失败,官方文档(Part 17.3)有较详细的说明,但没有例子,这里给出实际示例。 
 
测试环境: 
DB: postgres 9.1.3 
OS: CentOS 6.2 / Redhat
--内核参数文件位置:
/proc/sys/kernel
/etc/sysctl.conf
[root@localhost ~]# sysctl -a|more
kernel.shmmax = 68719476736
kernel.shmall = 4294967296
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.msgmax = 65536
kernel.msgmni = 2005
kernel.msgmnb = 65536
[postgres@localhost ~]$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/sem
250     32000   32      128
(semmsl  semmns  semopm  semmni)
 
1.shared_buffers VS shmget 
shared_buffers是共享内存的意思,如果该值超过系统的内存值(包括swap),会造成启动失败 
shmget是get share memory,它是创建一个共享内存的函数
[root@localhost ~]# free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          1006        872        134          0        100        629
-/+ buffers/cache:        142        863
Swap:         2015         13       2002
[root@localhost ~]# su - postgres
[postgres@localhost ~]$ vi /database/pgdata/postgresql.conf 
shared_buffers = 5GB
[postgres@localhost ~]$ pg_start
server starting
[postgres@localhost ~]$ FATAL:  could not create shared memory segment: Cannot allocate memory
DETAIL:  Failed system call was shmget(key=1949001, size=5609447424, 03600).
HINT:  This error usually means that PostgreSQL's request for a shared memory segment exceeded available memory or swap space, or exceeded your kernel's SHMALL parameter.  You can either reduce the request size or reconfigure the kernel with larger SHMALL.  To reduce the request size (currently 5609447424 bytes), reduce PostgreSQL's shared memory usage, perhaps by reducing shared_buffers or max_connections.
        The PostgreSQL documentation contains more information about shared memory configuration.
解决办法是减小shared_buffers、max_connections值,也或者加大shmall值、加大内存和swap,如果设置超大,大过内核值,则直接报错Invalid argument,如
 
[postgres@localhost ~]$ vi /database/pgdata/postgresql.conf
shared_buffers = 222222GB
max_connections = 100
[postgres@localhost ~]$ pg_start
server starting
[postgres@localhost ~]$ FATAL:  invalid value for parameter "shared_buffers": "222222GB"
HINT:  Value exceeds integer range. 
2.max_connections VS semget 
max_connections是最大连接数,即允许客户端连接的最大连接数,增大连接可以允许接入更多的客户端,但设置过大同样会造成DB启动失败 
semget是获取信号的一个函数,即get semaphore
[postgres@localhost ~]$ vi /database/pgdata/postgresql.conf 
max_connections = 5000
[postgres@localhost ~]$ pg_start
server starting
[postgres@localhost ~]$ FATAL:  could not create semaphores: No space left on device
DETAIL:  Failed system call was semget(1949125, 17, 03600).
HINT:  This error does *not* mean that you have run out of disk space.  It occurs when either the system limit for the maximum number of semaphore sets (SEMMNI), or the system wide maximum number of semaphores (SEMMNS), would be exceeded.  You need to raise the respective kernel parameter.  Alternatively, reduce PostgreSQL's consumption of semaphores by reducing its max_connections parameter.
        The PostgreSQL documentation contains more information about configuring your system for PostgreSQL.
 
上述的空间不够不是指的是磁盘空间不够,而是创建semaphores时空间参数不够,系统调用参数semget报错,但是错误信息感觉有些迷惑......解决办法通常是减小max_connections,或者增大内核参数,如semmni,semmns等,在/proc/sys/kernel/sem里面调整,如
[root@localhost ~]# sysctl -w kernel.sem="500 64000 50 150"
kernel.sem = 500 64000 50 150
[root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/sem
500     64000   50      150
附参数说明 
 
 Name  Desc  Reasonable Value
 shmmax  Maximum size of shared memory segment (bytes)  at least several megabytes (see text)
 shmmin  Minimum size of shared memory segment (bytes)  1
 shmall  Total amount of shared memory available (bytes or pages)  if bytes, same as SHMMAX; if pages, ceil(SHMMAX/PAGE_SIZE)
 shmseg  Maximum number of shared memory segments per process only 1 segment is needed, but the default is much higher
 shmmni Maximum number of shared memory segments system-wide like SHMSEG plus room for other applications
 semmni Maximum number of semaphore identifiers (i.e., sets) at least ceil((max_connections + autovacuum_max_workers + 4) / 16)
 semmns  Maximum number of semaphores system-wide ceil((max_connections + autovacuum_max_workers
+ 4) / 16) * 17 plus room for other applications
 semmsl  Maximum number of semaphores per set  at least 17
 semmap  Number of entries in semaphore map  see text
 semvmx  Maximum value of semaphore at least 1000 (The default is often 32767; do not change unless necessary)
 
共享内存的使用:
 
 usage  Approximate shared memory bytes
Connections  (1800 + 270 * max_locks_per_transaction) * max_connections
 Autovacuum workers  (1800 + 270 * max_locks_per_transaction) * autovacuum_max_workers
 Prepared  transactions  (770 + 270 * max_locks_per_transaction) * max_prepared_transactions
 Shared disk buffers  (block_size + 208) * shared_buffers
 Wal buffers  (wal_block_size + 8) * wal_buffers
Fixed space requirements 770KB
