If /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled=always, the shim process
will use huge pages, which will consume a lot of memory.
Just like this:
ps -efo pid,rss,comm | grep shim
PID RSS COMMAND
2614 7464 containerd-shim
I don't think shim needs to use huge pages, and if we turn off the huge
pages option, we can save a lot of memory resources.
After we set THP_DISABLE=true:
ps -efo pid,comm,rss
PID COMMAND RSS
1629841 containerd-shim 5648
containerd
|
|--shim1 --start
|
|--shim2 (this shim will on host)
|
|--runc create (when containerd send create request by ttrpc)
|
|--runc init (this is the pid 1 in container)
we should set thp_disabled=1 in shim1 --start, because if we set this
in shim 2, the huge page has been setted while func main() running,
we set thp_disabled cannot change the setted huge pages.
So We need to set thp_disabled=1 in shim1 so that shim2 inherits the
settings of the parent process shim1, and shim2 has closed the
hugepage when it starts.
For runc processes, we need to set thp_disabled='before' in shim2 after
fork() and before execve(). So we use cmd.pre_exec to do this.
