问题处理一例:GC overhead limit exceeded

Tomcat Log 中有以下异常

May 31, 2012 11:54:25 AM org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler process
SEVERE: Error reading request, ignored
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded

问题产生原因:

根据sun的说法: "if too much time is being spent in garbage collection: if more than 98% of the total time is spent in garbage collection and less than 2% of the heap is recovered, an OutOfMemoryError will be thrown."

jvm gc行为中超过98%以上的时间去释放小于2%的堆空间时会报这个错误。

 

处理方法:

1. 在jvm启动参数中添加 "-XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit",该参数在JDK6中默认启用("-XX:+UseGCOverheadLimit")。

  调整后的生产环境中使用的参数为:   

JAVA_OPTS='-Xms512m -Xmx4096m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC'

2. 检查是否有使用了大量内存的代码或死循环

3. 使用jstat命令监控gc行为是否正常

  jstat监控gc的命令格式为: 

  jstat -gcutil [-t] [-h<lines>] <vmid> [<interval> [<count>]] 

  vmid为JVM进程id,可以用ps -ef 或 jps -lv命令查找。

  以下命令为每1秒钟输出一次gc状态,共输入5次

[root@localhost bin]# jstat -gcutil 7675 1000 5
  S0     S1     E      O      P     YGC     YGCT    FGC    FGCT     GCT

  经过一段时间的观察,没有再出现该异常
