我在生产环境中遇到应用程序警报.关键的cpu饥饿进程正在缺乏资源并导致处理积压.问题出现在最近部署的集群中的所有第12代戴尔服务器(r620)上.据我所知,这种情况的实例与cpu峰值的使用率相匹配,并伴随着dmesg中的大量“功率限制通知”垃圾邮件.其中一个事件的摘录：

一个小小的谷福显示,这通常与cpu运行热,或电压调节有关.我不认为这是发生了什么.群集中所有服务器的温度传感器运行正常,iDRAC中禁用了功率上限策略,并且我的系统配置文件在所有这些服务器上都设置为“性能”：

# omreport chassis biossetup | grep -A10 'System Profile'

> A Dell mailing list post几乎完美地描述了症状.戴尔建议作者尝试使用性能配置文件,但这没有帮助.他最终在Dell’s guide for configuring a server for low latency environments中应用了一些设置,其中一个设置(或其组合)似乎解决了问题.
> Kernel.org bug #36182注意到默认情况下启用了功率限制中断调试,这会导致cpu电压调节进入的情况下性能下降.
> A RHN KB article(需要RHN登录)提到影响PE r620和r720服务器未运行性能配置文件的问题,并建议更新两周前发布的内核. …除了我们正在运行性能配置文件…

我在网上找到的所有东西都在这里让我圈起来.到底发生了什么事？
