Question

(55) No buffer space

Asked by: ahmedfpis

We are having this very strange issue on Squid cache server on FreeBSD, the server after few hours hangs up and give this error
2004/08/25 15:42:48| comm_udp_sendto: FD 6, 217.21.5.35, port 53: (55) No buffer  space available
2004/08/25 15:42:48| idnsSendQuery: FD 6: sendto: (55) No buffer space available
2004/08/25 15:42:48| comm_udp_sendto: FD 6, 217.21.5.35, port 53: (55) No buffer space available
2004/08/25 15:42:48| idnsSendQuery: FD 6: sendto: (55) No buffer space available

The machine has 2G Ram and 4*36 SCSI HDDs, we tried every single solution on the net with no success, here what is the loader.conf looks like

loader.conf
# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- #
userconfig_script_load="YES"
#kern.ipc.maxsockets=32768
kern.ipc.nmbclusters=262144
kern.ipc.nmbufs=131072

kern.vm.kmem.size=268435456
kern.vm.pmap.shpgperproc=2048
net.inet.tcp.tcbhashsize=16384

here netstat -m

Try:
kern.ipc.nmbclusters="4096"     # Set the number of mbuf clusters
kern.ipc.nmbufs="16384"         # Set the number of mbufs = 4 * nmbclusters

see details on
http://list.cineca.it/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0204&L=squid&D=0&P=79396

Hope that helps

 

by: ahmedfpisPosted on 2004-08-30 at 04:19:18ID: 11929877

done that as you can see above still same problem
"
kern.ipc.nmbclusters=262144
kern.ipc.nmbufs=131072
"

 

by: ramazanyichPosted on 2004-08-30 at 05:12:04ID: 11930188

sysctl net.inet.udp.maxdgram=65535

this is not about ipc, this is about inet protocol stack....

 

by: ahmedfpisPosted on 2004-08-30 at 10:21:02ID: 11933375

Are you telling me to add
sysctl net.inet.udp.maxdgram=65535
to loader.conf

 

by: gheistPosted on 2004-08-30 at 12:35:54ID: 11935124

no, I am asking you to type this command as root, logged in to system.
If it tells that parameter is changed at bootloader, then add net.inet.udp.maxdgram=65535 to loader conf,
otherwise, add net.inet.udp.maxdgram=65535 to /etc/sysctl.conf

 

by: gheistPosted on 2004-09-04 at 12:55:50ID: 11981452

When you exceed some system memory pools then you get feedback in system logs and immediate reboots, check netstat -m and vmstat -m to not let that happen ( very rare on modern systems)

 

by: gheistPosted on 2004-09-04 at 12:57:21ID: 11981460

To help more your squid:

1) use a caching DNS server on loopback interface.
2) let squidclients help you restart squid and let you analyze problem at convenient times.

Have a naice day.

sysctl kern.maxfilesperproc
kern.maxfilesperproc: ????
Must be ten times users or so

Did you reboot after changing loader.conf ???

And please post output of uname -sir, so I can give correct ways to apply sysctl options.

Problem briefly is that load on system is a bit above average...

by: gheistPosted on 2004-09-07 at 13:43:09ID: 12000789

net.inet.tcp.sendspace=65535
net.inet.tcp.recvspace=65535

makes 128k *2 = 256K, so 1M of net memory for user
reduce that and problem will go away

For example:
net.inet.tcp.sendspace=8192
net.inet.tcp.recvspace=8192

newer versions have "inflight" facility to reduce net buffers if they can be smaller.

by: gheistPosted on 2004-09-09 at 22:26:55ID: 12023856

net.inet.ip.portrange.last= 49151


by syctl or either .conf

you have 5000-1024 ports currently available, ten times more will be a lot of help.

su - squid -c ulimit -n ???

First,
su - squid -c ulimit -n ???
was 8192 we recompiled squid and increased to 32768 according to the following formula
filedescriptors=40+32*maxusers
now things are much better
cache1# netstat -an | wc -l
   19241
cache1# netstat -m
27345/29536/256000 mbufs in use (current/peak/max):
        27342 mbufs allocated to data
        3 mbufs allocated to packet headers
27186/29374/64000 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max)
66132 Kbytes allocated to network (12% of mb_map in use)
0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines

but every once a while we get the following ( not as often as it used before)
2004/09/11 14:43:23| Request header is too large (11680 bytes)
2004/09/11 14:43:23| Config 'request_header_max_size'= 10240 bytes.
2004/09/11 14:43:23| parseHttpRequest: Unsupported method 'recipientid=103&sessionid=1832'

kern.ipc.somaxconn = 8192 instead of 16000

Looks more like protocol desynchronization
like this is request tail:
> Unsupported method 'recipientid=103&sessionid=1832'

e.g. HTTP/1.1 pipelining extension, if you could gather stats of User-agent 's, maybe problem relates to some particular browsers
request headers are usually small(max size is few kilobytes)

maybe upgrading to more recent squid is of help, or using squidclients to automatiaclly restart crashed squid or so.
