Analysis of Linux memory exhaustion

The use of Linux memory needs to be maintained within a certain ratio. If the memory usage is too high, the system can also run, but it will affect the speed. This article will introduce how to analyze the memory exhaustion in Linux?

testing NAS performance for a long time to write fstest, analyze the causes of poor performance, find the host server memory usage is high.

1. First look at memory # top -M

top - 14:43:12 up 14 days, 6 min, 1 user, load average: 8.36, 8.38, 8.41

Tasks: 419 total, 1 Running, 418 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie

Cpu(s): 0.0%us, 0.2%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.0%id, 0.7%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0 %st

Mem: 63.050G total, 62.639G used, 420.973M free, 33.973M buffers

Swap: 4095.996M total, 0.000k used, 4095.996M free, 48.889G cached

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND

111 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 2.0 0.0 0:25.52 ksoftirqd/11

5968 root 20 0 15352 1372 828 R 2.0 0.0 0:00.01 top

13273 root 20 0 0 0 0 D 2.0 0.0 25:54.02 nfsd

17765 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 2.0 0.0 0:11.89 Kworker/5:1H

1 root 20 0 19416 1436 1136 S 0.0 0.0 0:01.88 init

. . . . .

Found that the memory is basically used up, what is the process occupied? The top command finds that the first-ranked %MEM is only a fraction of a second.

2. Use the vmstat -m command to view the memory usage of the kernel space. # vmstat -m
