不是所有的OutofMemory exception都是内存问题。。。前几天有个客户的site报了以下错误:
[ERROR][thread ] Could not start thread Timer-72025. Resource temporarily unavailable
Exception in thread "Timer-72024" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Resource temporarily unavailable in tsStartJavaThread
(lifecycle.c:1097).
Attempting to allocate 2G bytes
There is insufficient native memory for the Java
Runtime Environment to continue.
Possible reasons:
The system is out of physical RAM or swap space
In 32 bit mode, the process size limit was hit
Possible solutions:
Reduce memory load on the system
Increase physical memory or swap space
Check if swap backing store is full
Use 64 bit Java on a 64 bit OS
Decrease Java heap size (-Xmx/-Xms)
Decrease number of Java threads
Decrease Java thread stack sizes (-Xss)
Disable compressed references (-XXcompressedRefs=false)

第一反应以为是内存不足,于是dump了heap回来看,发现系统只占用了80M的内存,远远系统内存绰绰有余,那么为啥会出现这种情况呢?查看了出错的代码,发现代码启动了很多的线程,遂想起以前遇到过类似的问题,weblogic里面启动的线程太多,超出了linux的最大限制,也是会出这个看起来内存泄漏的日志。查看系统的限制:
sc-1@vECE-222 limits.d # ulimit -a
core file size (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited
scheduling priority (-e) 0
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals (-i) 38610
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 64
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files (-n) 8192
pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8
POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200
real-time priority (-r) 0
stack size (kbytes, -s) 10240
cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) 1024
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited
file locks (-x) unlimited
发现最大的进程数是1024,注意:linux里面计算线程和进程是用一样计算的,这里说的max user processes是包括线程的。
使用以下代码重现问题:
public class ThreadExample {
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName());
for(int i=0; i< 2048; i++){
new Thread("" + i){
public void run(){
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " running");
try {
Thread.sleep(60000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " ending");
}
}.start();
}
}
}
执行和输出:

linux系统资源有各种限制:内存限制,栈限制,文件数目限制,线程限制,要小心陷进这些问题。
