1. 现象
某日下午下班后低峰期,现网MySQL一个库突然报出大量慢sql,状态是 statistics
,但是过后拿这些sql去执行的时候,实际很快。处于 statistics 状态的线程有个特征:查询的都是视图,但看监控那个时间段并没有明显的update/detele/insert。通过我们的快照程序,去分析当时的 innodb status,发现如下信息:

2. 分析
从上面的信息知道 Thread 139964610234112 是主线程,在源码 srv0srv.cc:2132 行的地方等待信号14s,这个信号是在 dict0dict.cc:900 地方创建的 RW-latch 排它锁。那么奇怪了,主线程自己在等待自己的互斥锁。
由于环境是阿里云的RDS(基于MySQL 5.6.16-log 版本),拿不到他们的代码,找来 5.6.35 的来看,行号对不上。但好在上段信息的最后面有一个 Main thread state: enforcing dict cache limit
,发现在 srv0srv.cc 函数 srv_master_do_active_tasks() 约2137行的位置:
if (cur_time % SRV_MASTER_DICT_LRU_INTERVAL == 0) {
srv_main_thread_op_info = "enforcing dict cache limit";
srv_master_evict_from_table_cache(50);
MONITOR_INC_TIME_IN_MICRO_SECS(
MONITOR_SRV_DICT_LRU_MICROSECOND, counter_time);
}
应该是在调用 srv_master_evict_from_table_cache() 从innodb table cache里面清理缓存的地方waiting(这里不是一定会清理,而是先判断空间够不够用,参数50表示只扫描 unused_table list的50%)。
srv_master_evict_from_table_cache()
:
srv_master_evict_from_table_cache(
/*==============================*/
ulint pct_check) /*!< in: max percent to check */
{
ulint n_tables_evicted = 0;
rw_lock_x_lock(&dict_operation_lock);
dict_mutex_enter_for_mysql();
n_tables_evicted = dict_make_room_in_cache( /** 在dict0dict.cc里面 **/
innobase_get_table_cache_size(), pct_check);
dict_mutex_exit_for_mysql();
rw_lock_x_unlock(&dict_operation_lock);
return(n_tables_evicted);
}
就是在 rw_lock_x_lock(&dict_operation_lock) 这个地方获取Latch的时候等待了14s,这个锁就是在数据字典模块 dict0dict.cc:dict_init() 约1065行的地方创建的,与innodb status输出基本一致。
关于 dict_operation_lock
直接看注释吧:
/** @brief the data dictionary rw-latch protecting dict_sys
table create, drop, etc. reserve this in X-mode; implicit or
backround operations purge, rollback, foreign key checks reserve this
in S-mode; we cannot trust that MySQL protects implicit or background
operations a table drop since MySQL does not know of them; therefore
we need this; NOTE: a transaction which reserves this must keep book
on the mode in trx_t::dict_operation_lock_mode */
在尝试把表定义逐出缓存时获取的是 dict_operation_lock X-mode lock,可是从已有的信息里看不到另一个数据字典锁是什么。 之前是怀疑是不是 table_definition_cache, table_open_cache, innodb_open_files 设置小了,视图一般是多表join,更容易消耗打开表的数量,导致不断的逐出cache而导致锁征用。但是检查一番并没发现什么问题,更何况是14s的等待。关于它们的设置和关系,可以参考我的文章 table_open_cache 与 table_definition_cache 对MySQL的影响 。
那么得换个思路了,processlist里面有13个长时间处于 statistics 状态的线程,表示正在计算统计数据,以制定一个查询执行计划。 如果一个线程处于这种状态很长一段时间,可能是磁盘IO性能很差,或者磁盘在执行其他工作。
此时注意到最上面的信息里有 Pending normal aio reads: 18 [0, 12, 0, 6] ,有18个读IO被挂起(实际从监控图 innodb_data_pending_reads看来,有达到过50),四个read thread有三个处于忙碌状态。再有 innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed 在出异常前10s没有任何变化,也就是没有成功的将脏数据刷盘动作。另外这是一个从库,出异常前10s有出现过瞬间20多秒延迟:
(这一切关注的都是 18:59:05 之前的数据,之后的时间,一般恢复了都会有瞬间的读行数上涨,这个时候别把它们反当做起因)
3. 结论
结合上面的 enforcing dict cache limit 和 statistics IO pending,找到两个有关的bug report:
第一个是使用 pt-online-schema-change 去更改分区表的结构,可能会出现,但目前bug状态是Undecided,我们的环境没有分区表,没外键,也没有改表动作。 第二个其实 Not a bug:
Thank you for your bug report. This is, however, not a bug, but a very well known issue.
You have to do several things in order to alleviate the problem:
* increase the additional memory pool
(注:这里我认为不应该是additional memory pool,而是 buffer_pool,因为现在innodb内存管理基本是调用系统malloc,即innodb_use_sys_malloc=ON,参考https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/innodb-performance-use_sys_malloc.html)
* increase total number of file handles available to MySQL
* increase number of file handles for InnoDB
* improve performance of the I/O on your operating system
说到底就是数据库服务器IO遇到问题了,可以通过增加 buffer_pool 来缓存更多的数据,或者提高服务器IO能力,这个范围就广了: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/optimizing-innodb-diskio.html 。 然而生产服务器都运行了1年之久,高峰期都没出现过IO问题,现在何况低峰期,也没有人为操作。那这个锅只能交给阿里RDS了:怀疑是实例所在物理机磁盘有抖动。
分析这么久得出这个结论,却不能做什么,因为我们没办法看到服务器级别的IO stats。其实想到去年也有实例出现过几例类似 statistics 问题,向阿里云提工单确认物理机状态,得到的结论都是:“是的,物理机有抖动。需要申请迁移实例吗”,但是从来拿不到依据。如果自己能看到OS级别的监控,其实都不需要本文这么冗长的分析。
