Huge pages (标准大页)和 Transparent Huge pages(透明大页)
Huge pages ( 标准大页 ) 和 Transparent Huge pages( 透明大页 )
在 Linux 中大页分为两种: Huge pages ( 标准大页 ) 和 Transparent Huge pages( 透明大页 ) 。
内存是以块即页的方式进行管理的,当前大部分系统默认的页大小为 4096 bytes 即 4K 。 1MB 内存等于 256 页; 1GB 内存等于 256000 页。
CPU 拥有内置的内存管理单元,包含这些页面的列表,每个页面通过页表条目引用。当内存越来越大的时候, CPU 需要管理这些内存页的成本也就越高,这样会对操作系统的性能产生影响。
Huge Pages
Huge pages 是从 Linux Kernel 2.6 后被引入的,目的是通过使用大页内存来取代传统的 4kb 内存页面, 以适应越来越大的系统内存,让操作系统可以支持现代硬件架构的大页面容量功能。
Huge pages 有两种格式大小: 2MB 和 1GB , 2MB 页块大小适合用于 GB 大小的内存, 1GB 页块大小适合用于 TB 级别的内存; 2MB 是默认的页大小。
Transparent Huge Pages
Transparent Huge Pages 缩写 THP ,这个是 RHEL 6 开始引入的一个功能,在 Linux6 上透明大页是默认启用的。
由于 Huge pages 很难手动管理,而且通常需要对代码进行重大的更改才能有效的使用,因此 RHEL 6 开始引入了 Transparent Huge Pages ( THP ), THP 是一个抽象层,能够自动创建、管理和使用传统大页。
THP 为系统管理员和开发人员减少了很多使用传统大页的复杂性 , 因为 THP 的目标是改进性能 , 因此其它开发人员 ( 来自社区和红帽 ) 已在各种系统、配置、应用程序和负载中对 THP 进行了测试和优化。这样可让 THP 的默认设置改进大多数系统配置性能。但是 , 不建议对数据库工作负载使用 THP 。
这两者最大的区别在于 : 标准大页管理是预分配的方式,而透明大页管理则是动态分配的方式。
标准大页的页面大小
[oracle@we2db1 ~]$ grep Hugepagesize /proc/meminfo
Hugepagesize: 2048 kB
注: THP 目前只能映射异步内存区域,比如堆和栈空间
Oracle 官方是推荐我们使用 Huge pages 的,它拥有以下的好处:
-
Larger Page Size and Less # ofPages: Default page size is 4K whereas the HugeTLB size is 2048K. That meansthe system would need to handle 512 times less pages.
-
Reduced Page Table Walking:Since a HugePage covers greater contiguous virtual address range than a regularsized page, a probability of getting a TLB hit per TLB entry with HugePages arehigher than with regular pages. This reduces the number of times page tablesare walked to obtain physical address from a virtual address.
-
Less Overhead for MemoryOperations: On virtual memory systems (any modern OS) each memory operation isactually two abstract memory operations. With HugePages, since there are lessnumber of pages to work on, the possible bottleneck on page table access isclearly avoided.
-
Less Memory Usage: From theOracle Database perspective, with HugePages, the Linux kernel will use lessmemory to create pagetables to maintain virtual to physical mappings for SGAaddress range, in comparison to regular size pages. This makes more memory tobe available for process-private computations or PGA usage.
-
No Swapping: We must avoidswapping to happen on Linux OS at all Document 1295478.1. HugePages are notswappable (whereas regular pages are). Therefore there is no page replacementmechanism overhead. HugePages are universally regarded as pinned.
-
No 'kswapd' Operations: kswapdwill get very busy if there is a very large area to be paged (i.e. 13 millionpage table entries for 50GB memory) and will use an incredible amount of CPUresource. When HugePages are used, kswapd is not involved in managing them. Seealso Document 361670.1
当然使用 Huge pages 也会存在某些缺点:
首先开启该功能需要进行额外设置,
第二, Huge pages 和 Oracle 11g新 特性 AMM ( Automatic Memory Management )是相互冲突的,但是 ASMM ( Automatic Shared Memory Management )仍然可以继续使用。
Oracle 官方虽然推荐我们使用 Huge pages ,但是却建议我们关闭 Transparent Huge pages ,因为透明大页存在一些问题:
1. 在 RAC 环境下 透明大页( TransparentHugePages )会导致异常节点重启,和性能问题;
2. 在单机环境中,透明大页( TransparentHugePages ) 也会导致一些异常的性能问题;
注:Transparent Huge Pages在32位的RHEL 6中是不支持的。
禁用trasnparent hugepage
查看透明大页是否已经启用
[root@we2db2 ~]# cat /etc/issue
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.9(Santiago)
Kernel \r on an \m
[root@we2db2 ~]# cat/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
always madvise [never]
使用命令查看时,如果输出结果为 [always] 表示透明大页启用了。
[never] 表示透明大页禁用、 [madvise] 表示(只在 MADV_HUGEPAGE 标志的 VMA 中使用 THP 。
这里已经禁用了,若未禁用可以使用以下方式禁用
[root@we2db2 ~]# more /etc/grub.conf

initrd /initramfs-2.6.32-696.20.1.el6.x86_64.img
配置huge page
1. 在 /etc/security/limits.conf 加入以下参数
* soft memlock 8193024
* hard memlock 8193024
这里的试验环境是 8G 的内存, memlock 参数的值只需略小于内存的值即可,即使超过了 SGA 的需求,也没有任何影响。
[root@we2db1 ~]# cat /etc/security/limits.conf
* soft memlock 8193024
* hard memlock 8193024
2. 重新登录服务器验证设置
[root@we2db1 ~]# ulimit -l
8193024
3. 在 Oracle 11g 中禁用 AutomaticMemory Management (AMM) 特性,即 MEMORY_TARGET and MEMORY_MAX_TARGET 值为 。
SQL> show parameter MEMORY_TARGET
NAME TYPE VALUE
----------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
memory_target big integer 0
SQL> show parameter MEMORY_MAX_TARGET
NAME TYPE VALUE
----------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
memory_max_target big integer 0
这里试验环境并没有启用 AMM 特性,如果启用了该特性使用一下语句关闭。
alter system setMEMORY_TARGET=0 scope=spfile;
alter system setMEMORY_MAX_TARGET=0 scope=spfile;
重启实例后生效。
4. 确认所有需要使用 Hugepage 的实例都是开启的 ( 包括 ASM 实例 ) ,然后运行 hugepages_settings.sh( 具体脚本参考文档 ID 401749.1 )
[root@we2db1 ~]# chmod +xhugepages_settings.sh
[root@we2db1 ~]# ./hugepages_settings.sh
This script is provided by Doc ID 401749.1from My Oracle Support
(http://support.oracle.com) where it isintended to compute values for
the recommended HugePages/HugeTLBconfiguration for the current shared
memory segments on Oracle Linux. Beforeproceeding with the execution please note following:
*For ASM instance, it needs to configure ASMM instead of AMM.
*The 'pga_aggregate_target' is outside the SGA and
you should accommodate this while calculating SGA size.
* Incase you changes the DB SGA size,
asthe new SGA will not fit in the previous HugePages configuration,
ithad better disable the whole HugePages,
start the DB with new SGA size and run the script again.
And make sure that:
*Oracle Database instance(s) are up and running
*Oracle Database 11g Automatic Memory Management (AMM) is not setup
(See Doc ID 749851.1)
*The shared memory segments can be listed by command:
# ipcs -m
Press Enter to proceed...
Recommended setting:vm.nr_hugepages = 1204
5. 在 /etc/sysctl.conf 文件中添加 vm.nr_hugepages 参数
[root@we2db1 ~]# cat /etc/sysctl.conf |grep nr_hugepages
vm.nr_hugepages = 1204
[root@we2db2 ~]# cat /etc/sysctl.conf |grep nr_hugepages
vm.nr_hugepages = 1204
6. 关闭所有数据库实例并重启服务器
7. 验证配置是否正确,如下所示:
[root@we2db2 ~]# grep HugePages /proc/meminfo
AnonHugePages: 0 kB
HugePages_Total: 1204
HugePages_Free: 739
HugePages_Rsvd: 736
HugePages_Surp: 0
为了确保 HugePages 配置的有效性, HugePages_Free 值应该小于 HugePages_Total 的值,并且有一定的 HugePages_Rsvd 的值。
Also there should be some HugePages_Rsvd ifPRE_PAGE_SGA is 'false' for all the Oracle database instances..
HugePages_Rsvd counts free pages that arereserved for use (requested for an SGA, but not touched/mapped yet).
PRE_PAGE_SGA determines if the all SGApages are read-in when the instance starts up.
If parameter is set to 'true' then the OSpage table entries are prebuilt for each page of the SGA, leading to HugePagesreservation of those pages.
For Oracle database versions before 12.1the default value for PRE_PAGE_SGA is 'false'. So the HugePages_Rsvd would behigher than 0. But since 12c the PRE_PAGE_SGA defaults to 'true' which wouldcause the HugePages_Rsvd to be 0.
The sum of Hugepages_Free andHugePages_Rsvd may be smaller than your total combined SGA as instancesallocate pages dynamically and proactively as needed.
至此 HugePages 已经配置完成。
虽然 Oracle 官方推荐使用 Huge Pages 但是具体是否使用还得考虑实际情况。 如果您的系统经常碰到因为 swap 引发的性能问题的系统可以考虑启用 HugePage 。另外, OS 内存非常大的系统也可以启用 HugePage 。但是具体多大就一定需要使用 HugePage ?这并没有定论。

透明大页介绍
Transparent Huge Pages的一些官方介绍资料:
Transparent Huge Pages (THP) are enabled by default in RHEL 6 for all applications. The kernel attempts to allocate hugepages whenever possible and any Linux process will receive 2MB pages if the mmap region is 2MB naturally aligned. The main kernel address space itself is mapped with hugepages, reducing TLB pressure from kernel code. For general information on Hugepages, see: What are Huge Pages and what are the advantages of using them?
The kernel will always attempt to satisfy a memory allocation using hugepages. If no hugepages are available (due to non availability of physically continuous memory for example) the kernel will fall back to the regular 4KB pages. THP are also swappable (unlike hugetlbfs). This is achieved by breaking the huge page to smaller 4KB pages, which are then swapped out normally.
But to use hugepages effectively, the kernel must find physically continuous areas of memory big enough to satisfy the request, and also properly aligned. For this, a khugepaged kernel thread has been added. This thread will occasionally attempt to substitute smaller pages being used currently with a hugepage allocation, thus maximizing THP usage.
In userland, no modifications to the applications are necessary (hence transparent). But there are ways to optimize its use. For applications that want to use hugepages, use of posix_memalign() can also help ensure that large allocations are aligned to huge page (2MB) boundaries.
Also, THP is only enabled for anonymous memory regions. There are plans to add support for tmpfs and page cache. THP tunables are found in the /sys tree under /sys/kernel/mm/redhat_transparent_hugepage.
查看是否启用透明大页
1:命令cat /sys/kernel/mm/redhat_transparent_hugepage/enabled 该命令适用于Red Hat Enterprise Linux系统
[root@getlnx06 ~]# more /etc/issue
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.6 (Santiago)
Kernel \r on an \m
[root@getlnx06 ~]# cat /sys/kernel/mm/redhat_transparent_hugepage/enabled
[always] madvise never
2:命令cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled 该命令适用于其它Linux系统
[root@getlnx06 ~]# cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
always madvise [never]
[root@getlnx06 ~]#
使用命令查看时,如果输出结果为[always]表示透明大页启用了。[never]表示透明大页禁用、[madvise]表示 (只在MADV_HUGEPAGE标志的VMA中使用THP
3:如何HugePages_Total返回0,也意味着标准大页禁用了(注意传统/标准大页和透明大页的区别)
透明大页(THP)管理和标准/传统大页(HP)管理都是操作系统为了减少页表转换消耗的资源而发布的新特性,虽然ORACLE建议利用大页机制来提高数据库的性能,但是ORACLE却同时建议关闭透明大页管理。这二者的区别在于大页的分配机制,标准大页管理是预分配的方式,而透明大页管理则是动态分配的方式。
[root@getlnx06 ~]# grep -i HugePages_Total /proc/meminfo
HugePages_Total: 0
4:cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages返回0也意味着传统大页禁用了(传统大页和透明大页)。
[root@getlnx06 ~]# cat /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
禁用、启用透明大页功能

使用上面的配置后必须重启操作系统才能生效,你也可以运行下面命令不用重启操作系统。
You must reboot your system for the setting to take effect, or run the following two echo lines to proceed with the install without rebooting:
[root@getlnx06 ~]# echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/redhat_transparent_hugepage/enabled

always madvise [never]
[root@getlnx06 ~]#
小知识点:
1:从RedHat 6, OEL 6, SLES 11 and UEK2 kernels 开始,系统缺省会启用 Transparent HugePages :用来提高内存管理的性能透明大页(Transparent HugePages )和之前版本中的大页功能上类似。主要的区别是:Transparent HugePages 可以实时配置,不需要重启才能生效配置;
2:Transparent Huge Pages在32位的RHEL 6中是不支持的。
Transparent Huge Pages are not available on the 32-bit version of RHEL 6.
3: ORACLE官方不建议我们使用RedHat 6, OEL 6, SLES 11 and UEK2 kernels 时的开启透明大页(Transparent HugePages ), 因为透明大页(Transparent HugePages ) 存在一些问题:
1.在RAC环境下 透明大页(Transparent HugePages )会导致异常节点重启,和性能问题;
2.在单机环境中,透明大页(Transparent HugePages ) 也会导致一些异常的性能问题;
Transparent HugePages memory is enabled by default with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11, and Oracle Linux 6 with earlier releases of Oracle Linux Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 2 (UEK2) kernels. Transparent HugePages memory is disabled in later releases of Oracle Linux UEK2 kernels.Transparent HugePages can cause memory allocation delays during runtime. To avoid performance issues, Oracle recommends that you disable Transparent HugePages on all Oracle Database servers. Oracle recommends that you instead use standard HugePages for enhanced performance.Transparent HugePages memory differs from standard HugePages memory because the kernel khugepaged thread allocates memory dynamically during runtime. Standard HugePages memory is pre-allocated at startup, and does not change during runtime.
Starting with RedHat 6, OEL 6, SLES 11 and UEK2 kernels, Transparent HugePages are implemented and enabled (default) in an attempt to improve the memory management. Transparent HugePages are similar to the HugePages that have been available in previous Linux releases. The main difference is that the Transparent HugePages are set up dynamically at run time by the khugepaged thread in kernel while the regular HugePages had to be preallocated at the boot up time. Because Transparent HugePages are known to cause unexpected node reboots and performance problems with RAC, Oracle strongly advises to disable the use of Transparent HugePages. In addition, Transparent Hugepages may cause problems even in a single-instance database environment with unexpected performance problems or delays. As such, Oracle recommends disabling Transparent HugePages on all Database servers running Oracle.
4:安装Vertica Analytic Database时也必须关闭透明大页功能。

Linux7.4 关闭透明大页
在Linux6.x之后的平台,在安装Oracle数据库的时候都建议关闭透明大页
Linux下的大页分为两种类型:标准大页(Huge Pages)和透明大页(Transparent Huge Pages)。
1). 标准大页(Huge Pages)是从Linux Kernel 2.6后被引入的。目的是使用更大的内存页面(memory page size) 以适应越来越大的系统内存,让操作系统可以支持现代硬件架构的大页面容量功能。 2). 透明大页(Transparent Huge Pages)缩写为THP,这个是RHEL 6开始引入的一个功能。
这两者的区别在于大页的分配机制,标准大页管理是预分配的方式,而透明大页管理则是动态分配的方式。目前透明大页与传统大页混合使用会出现一些问题,导致性能问题和系统重启。ORACLE官方不建议在使用RedHat 6, OEL 6, SLES 11 and UEK2 kernels 时开启透明大页(THP), 因为透明大页存在一些问题:
1.在RAC环境下 透明大页(Transparent HugePages )会导致异常节点重启和性能问题;
2.在单机环境中,透明大页(Transparent HugePages ) 也会导致一些异常的性能问题;
2 关闭THP
Linux7 默认情况下 是开启透明大页功能的。
