Problem description: | |
This problem was observed running 12.10.FC13 on linux x86_64. I did not see the problem nearly as bad on 11.70.FC8W1. The test case involves an esql/c client that reads a file that contains ~17000 inserts into a buffer and then runs an execute immediate on that buffer. These inserts are all against the same table that contains an insert trigger. Looking at an onstat -g ses you will see the ralloc pool grow large rapidly. I've seen the test use every bit of memory in an instance with SHMTOTAL set to 12GB . From an onstat -g afr, these are examples of the memory blocks that are rapidly being allocated. Seems like it's related to the number of cbs that are used for the insert statements in the buffer 22ae70000 2038904 ralloc 3234 squtil.c:15082 22b066000 2039000 ralloc 3234 squtil.c:15082 22b259000 2039096 ralloc 3234 squtil.c:15082 22b44b000 2039192 ralloc 3234 squtil.c:15082 22b642000 2039288 ralloc 3234 squtil.c:15082 22b834000 2039384 ralloc 3234 squtil.c:15082 22ba2b000 2039480 ralloc 3234 squtil.c:15082 22bc1d000 2039576 ralloc 3234 squtil.c:15082 22be10000 2039672 ralloc 3234 squtil.c:15082 22c006000 2039808 ralloc 3234 squtil.c:15082 This is the biggest growth, there may be other allocations causing growth as well. | |
