golang gc 优化思路以及实例分析
一个即将上线的go 写的高频服务，压测的时候发现 gc 特别高，高到10%-15% 左右了，本文记录下优化 gc 的过程和和思路。线上环境1.10.

首先，查看gc 是否有异常，我们可以使用 gctrace 跟踪实时的gc 。执行下面命令可以看到gc 的实时信息。
GODEBUG=gctrace=1 go run cmd/agent_bin.go输出结果如下:
gc 45 @37.801s 11%: 0.19+627+0.29 ms clock, 0.38+424/621/0+0.59 ms cpu, 356->415->225 MB, 453 MB goal, 4 P

gc 48 @42.771s 12%: 0.26+841+0.12 ms clock, 0.52+377/830/0+0.24 ms cpu, 486->561->271 MB, 638 MB goal, 4 P

gc 52 @50.942s 13%: 0.27+806+0.51 ms clock, 0.55+403/805/200+1.0 ms cpu, 549->657->340 MB, 687 MB goal, 4 P
gc 53 @53.014s 13%: 0.10+857+0.36 ms clock, 0.21+467/851/94+0.73 ms cpu, 546->666->351 MB, 681 MB goal, 4 Pgc 45：表示第45次GC，共有4个P (线程)参与GC。
11%: 表示gc 占时间比。
0.19+627+0.29 us：STW（stop-the-world）0.19ms, 并发标记和扫描的时间627ms, STW标记的时间0.29ms。
0.38+424/621/0+0.59 ms cpu, 表示垃圾回收占用cpu时间
356->415->225 MB, 453 MB goal,表示堆的大小，gc后堆的大小，存活堆的大小
453 MB goal 表示整体堆的大小为435M。
根据官方描述，golang1.0 的gc 可以降到100ms 以内，但是这里gc 都超过1s了，这明显是不可以接受的，说明gc 是有很大异常的。
检查思路，首先利用pprof 打出整个调用过程累计的堆分配图，查出到底是哪些模块堆分配异常。通过代码内嵌pprof 暴露端口的方式，终端输出svg。
import _ "net/http/pprof"
go func() {
http.ListenAndServe("0.0.0.0:8080", nil)
}()然后终端输入：
go tool pprof -alloc_space -cum -svg http://127.0.0.1:8080/debug/pprof/heap > heap.svg然后浏览器打开svg，找到消耗最大的调用栈：
使用-cum，是累计函数调用栈的堆分配大小，因为图形会将调用栈很大的路线着重标识出来，这里可以明显看出是自己实现的Fetch 函数的io copyBuffer 函数gc 压力最大。这里大致知道来源了，那到底是我们函数哪个对象有问题？
接下来我们对这个文件使用逃逸分析：直接用go build --gcflags=-m 接文件即可：
我们的源码是这样的：
package httpclient
import (
"io"
"io/ioutil"
"net/http"
"net/url"
"os"
"sync"
"time"
"refresh_agent/utils"
)
var client *http.Client
var buffPool sync.Pool
func init() {
client = &http.Client{}
http.DefaultTransport.(*http.Transport).MaxIdleConnsPerHost = 2000
http.DefaultTransport.(*http.Transport).MaxIdleConns = 20000
}
type HttpClient struct{}
func NewHttpClient() *HttpClient {
httpClient := HttpClient{}
return &httpClient
}
func (this *HttpClient) replaceUrl(srcUrl string, ip string) string {
httpPrefix := "http://"
parsedUrl, err := url.Parse(srcUrl)
if err != nil {
return ""
}
return httpPrefix + ip + parsedUrl.Path
}
func (this *HttpClient) downLoadFile(resp *http.Response) error {
out, err := os.OpenFile("/dev/null", os.O_RDWR|os.O_CREATE|os.O_APPEND, 0666)
defer out.Close()
_, err = io.Copy(out, resp.Body)
return err
}
func (this *HttpClient) Fetch(dstUrl string, method string, proxyHost string, header map[string]string, preload bool, timeout int64) (*http.Response, error) {
// proxyHost 换掉 url 中请求
newUrl := this.replaceUrl(dstUrl, proxyHost)
req, _ := http.NewRequest(method, newUrl, nil)
for k, v := range header {
req.Header.Add(k, v)
}
req.Host = utils.GetUrlHost(dstUrl)
client.Timeout = time.Duration(timeout) * time.Second
resp, err := client.Do(req)
if resp == nil || err != nil {
return resp, err
}
if preload {
err := this.downLoadFile(resp)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
}
io.Copy(ioutil.Discard, resp.Body)
resp.Body.Close()
return resp, nil
}逃逸分析的结果如下：

继续追io.CopyBuffer,查看io.Copy 的源码：
func Copy(dst Writer, src Reader) (written int64, err error) {
return copyBuffer(dst, src, nil)
}
// CopyBuffer is identical to Copy except that it stages through the
// provided buffer (if one is required) rather than allocating a
// temporary one. If buf is nil, one is allocated; otherwise if it has
// zero length, CopyBuffer panics.
func CopyBuffer(dst Writer, src Reader, buf []byte) (written int64, err error) {
if buf != nil && len(buf) == 0 {
panic("empty buffer in io.CopyBuffer")
}
return copyBuffer(dst, src, buf)
}
func copyBuffer(dst Writer, src Reader, buf []byte) (written int64, err error) {
// If the reader has a WriteTo method, use it to do the copy.
// Avoids an allocation and a copy.
if wt, ok := src.(WriterTo); ok {
return wt.WriteTo(dst)
}
// Similarly, if the writer has a ReadFrom method, use it to do the copy.
if rt, ok := dst.(ReaderFrom); ok {
return rt.ReadFrom(src)
}
size := 32 * 1024
if l, ok := src.(*LimitedReader); ok && int64(size) > l.N {
if l.N < 1 {
size = 1
} else {
size = int(l.N)
}
}
if buf == nil {
buf = make([]byte, size) #这里反复创建 大小为32k的slice
}看到调用栈提示的函数，发现，我们调用copy 的时候，如果不传入buffer， 内部会反复创建这个buf。基本就定位到问题了。
那么我们知道某个对象会一直被gc 回收，怎么处理呢，通用做法是，使用对象池。
经过改造，我们copy 的时候传一个buffer 进去，这个buffer 从sync.Pool 中去取：
var buffPool sync.Pool
func (this *HttpClient) downLoadFile(resp *http.Response) error {
//err write /dev/null: bad file descriptor#
out, err := os.OpenFile("/dev/null", os.O_RDWR|os.O_CREATE|os.O_APPEND, 0666)
defer out.Close()
buf := buffPool.Get()
if buf == nil {
buf = make([]byte, 32*1024)
}
io.CopyBuffer(out, resp.Body, buf.([]byte))
buffPool.Put(buf)
return err使用这种方式后，这里的堆占用大小立马降下来了：
通过这样的思路，将堆累计分配比较频繁的一些点全部找出来后，gc降到了100ms 以下。
记录几个gc 优化的点, 高频请求一定要注意：
1，函数尽量不要返回map， slice对象, 这种频繁调用的函数会给gc 带来压力。
2，小对象要合并。
3，函数频繁创建的简单的对象，直接返回对象，效果比返回指针效果要好。
4，避不开，能用sync.Pool 就用，虽然有人说1.10 后不推荐使用sync.Pool，但是压测来看，确实还是用效果，堆累计分配大小能减少一半以上。
5，类型转换要注意，官方用法消耗特别大，推荐使用雨痕的方式。
6，避免反复创建slice。
