一次内核 crash 的排查记录
一次内核 crash 的排查记录
使用的发行版本是 CentOS，内核版本是 3.10.0，在正常运行的情况下内核发生了崩溃，还好有 vmcore 生成。
准备排查环境
- crash
- 内核调试信息rpm，下载的两个 rpm 版本必须和内核版本一致
- kernel-debuginfo-common-x86_64-3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64.rpm
- kernel-debuginfo-3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64.rpm
包从这个地址中获取的，速度尚可 https://mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/centos-debuginfo/7/x86_64/
排查
准备好生成的 vmcore
- 进入 crash
[zzz@localhost kernel-debug]# crash ../vmcore /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64/vmlinux - 可以看到直接原因是访问了空指针 (0000000000000008)

down_read_trylock函数内，后面发生了page fault，先反汇编看一下 RIP 内地址（ffffffff810aa989）的内容：crash> dis -l ffffffff810aa989 /usr/src/debug/kernel-3.10.0-327.el7/linux-3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64/arch/x86/include/asm/rwsem.h: 83 0xffffffff810aa989 <down_read_trylock+9>: mov (%rdi),%rax打开这个内核版本的
arch/x86/include/asm/rwsem.h，可以使用网址https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v3.10/source/arch/x86/include/asm/rwsem.h打开，代码如下/* * trylock for reading -- returns 1 if successful, 0 if contention */ static inline int __down_read_trylock(struct rw_semaphore *sem) { long result, tmp; asm volatile("# beginning __down_read_trylock\n\t" " mov %0,%1\n\t" "1:\n\t" " mov %1,%2\n\t" " add %3,%2\n\t" " jle 2f\n\t" LOCK_PREFIX " cmpxchg %2,%0\n\t" " jnz 1b\n\t" "2:\n\t" "# ending __down_read_trylock\n\t" : "+m" (sem->count), "=&a" (result), "=&r" (tmp) : "i" (RWSEM_ACTIVE_READ_BIAS) : "memory", "cc"); return result >= 0 ? 1 : 0; }指针
sem也就是寄存器RAX的值为0000000000000008，地址解引用失败，访问空指针，引发异常。观察堆栈调用情况，都是内存管理相关操作，其中还有一个 kswapd 调用，到此，推测是内存爆了导致的 - 查看当时内存使用情况，观察内存使用到了 98%，而交换空间也被大量使用，符合上面函数调用的推导

到此，问题可以锁定为是在大量内存页交换导致的问题，但是具体的代码逻辑并不能确定是为何处。而当时crash的时间也是在急需内存的操作下发生了，需要避免的地方也只有关闭一些服务释放出内存，在该操作完成后再启动服务。
