ora-600 [17182]错误一例

这是一套古老的系统，SUNOS 5.8，Oracle 8.1.7.4。最近老革命途遇新问题，告警日志烽烟掠起：

Errors in file /u01/app/oracle/admin/CULPRODB/udump/culprodb_ora_7913.trc:

/*8.1.7中stack trace还附带着寄存器信息，但我们可读不懂:)  */

opicca->kkscls->kghfrf->kgherror(heap层报错)->kgesic1。问题主要发生在调用kghfrf函数的时候，《famous summary stack trace from Oracle Version 8.1.7.4.0 Bug Note》 一文罗列了Oracle的一些stack summary,其中kghfrx函数的作用是"Free extent. This is called when a heap is unpinned to request that it"；可以猜测kghfrf函数是用来释放某种内存结构的。在MOS上输入"kghfrf 8.1.7.4"关键词，可以找到Note 291936.1:

ORA-00600 [17182] on Oracle 8.1.7.4.0 After a CTRL-C or Client Termination Applies to: Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 8.1.7.4 This problem can occur on any platform. Checked for relevance on 06-Mar-2007

Oracle RDBMS Server Versions prior to 9i Symptoms 1. Intermittent heap corruptions errors like ORA-00600 [17182] are reported in the alert.log file. 2. There is no impact to the database other than the process which encounters the errors getting killed. 3. From the trace file generated for this ORA-00600 error, check if the top few functions are : kgherror kghfrf kkscls opicca Cause If the trace file shows that kkscls calls kghfrf, then it is related to: Bug 2281320 -- ORA-600[17182] POSSIBLE AFTER CTRL-C OR CLIENT DEATH Solution The problem is when we call kghfrf to free a chunk of memory, we expect that this chunk to have been allocated from the Heap Memory and hence have a valid header, although internally we have used Frame Memory managed chunk. As a result, kghfrf errors out with the "Bagic Magic Number" in the Memory Chunk header error message. If you are running Oracle 8174, encounter this ORA-00600 [17182], and the call stack indicates the following functions { kgherror kghfrf kkscls }, then download and apply Patch 2281320 from MetaLink. This issue has been fixed in Oracle Server 8.1.7.5 and later versions. Note 2281320.8 is not limited to dblinks and can occur during normal database operation as well.

该文档叙述描述在9i以前版本中可能因堆损坏而出现该ORA-00600 [17182]错误，该错误不会导致致命问题或数据库损坏，最坏的情况是遭遇该错误的服务进程被杀死。与该问题匹配的主要依据是stack trace为kgherror kghfrf kkscls opicca，同我们的实际情况一致。可以通过打上one-off patch 2281320或者升级到8.1.7.5来避免该内部错误的发生，当然也可以置之不理，显然它不会造成太大的麻烦。 此外kghfrf函数用以释放内存chunk，Oracle development起初以为所有这些可能被释放的chunk都是从堆内存中分配而来，因此都该有一个有效的header;而实际上它们可能是以帧式内存管理的chunk。kghfrf因读取到这种chunk header中的错误幻数(Bagic Magic Number)而误入歧途了。
