Ajuste de rendimiento de FreeBSD: parámetro Sysctl, loader.conf, kernel

Quería compartir conocimientos sobre el ajuste de FreeBSD a través de sysctl.conf/ loader.conf / KENCONF/ etc. Inicialmente se basó en la presentación de Igor Sysoev (autor de nginx) sobre el ajuste de FreeBSD de hasta 100,000-200,000 conexiones activas. Las versiones más recientes de FreeBSD pueden manejar mucho, mucho más.

Las afinaciones son para FreeBSD7 - FreeBSD-CURRENT. Desde 7.2 amd64, algunos de ellos están bien ajustados por defecto. Anterior 7.0, algunos de ellos son solo de arranque (configurados a través de /boot/loader.conf) o no existen en absoluto.

sysctl.conf:

# No zero mapping feature
# May break wine
# (There are also reports about broken samba3)
#security.bsd.map_at_zero=0

# Servers with threading software apache2 / Pound may want to rise following sysctl
#kern.threads.max_threads_per_proc=4096

# Max backlog size
# Note Application can still limit it by passing second argument to listen(2) syscall
# Note: Listen queue be monitored via `netstat -Lan`
kern.ipc.somaxconn=4096

# Shared memory
# Note: Only FreeBSD 7.2+ can use shared memory > 2Gb
#kern.ipc.shmmax=2147483648

# Sockets
kern.ipc.maxsockets=204800

# Mbuf 2k clusters (on amd64 7.2+ 25600 is default)
# Note: defaults for other variables depend on this variable, for example `tcpreass`
# Note: FreeBSD-7 and older: For such high value vm.kmem_size must be increased to 3G
kern.ipc.nmbclusters=262144

# Jumbo pagesize(_SC_PAGESIZE)/9k/16k clusters
# Used as general packet storage for jumbo frames on some network cards
# Can be monitored via `netstat -m`
#kern.ipc.nmbjumbop=262144
#kern.ipc.nmbjumbo9=65536
#kern.ipc.nmbjumbo16=32768

# For lower latency you can decrease schedulers maximum time slice
# default: stathz/10 (~ 13)
kern.sched.slice=1

# Increase max command-line length showed in `ps` (e.g for Tomcat/Java)
# Default is PAGE_SIZE / 16 or 256 on x86
# This avoids commands to be presented as [executable] in `ps`
# For more info see: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=120749

# On some systems HPET is almost 2 times faster than default ACPI-fast

Si está ajustando la red para obtener el máximo rendimiento, es posible que desee jugar con ifconfigopciones como:

# You can list all capabilities via `ifconfig -m`
ifconfig [-]rxcsum [-]txcsum [-]tso [-]lro mtu

En caso de que haya habilitado DDB en la configuración del núcleo, debe editar su /etc/ddb.conf y agregar algo como esto para habilitar el reinicio automático (y la reducción de texto como bonificación):

script kdb.enter.panic=textdump set; capture on; show pcpu; bt; ps; alltrace; capture off; call doadump; reset
script kdb.enter.default=textdump set; capture on; bt; ps; capture off; call doadump; reset

Y no olvides agregar ddb_enable="YES"a/etc/rc.conf

Desde FreeBSD 9 puede seleccionar habilitar / deshabilitar el control de flujo en su NIC:

# See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_flow_control and

La mayoría de los límites de FreeBSD pueden ser monitoreados por:

# vmstat -z

y

# limits

Se puede monitorear una variedad de contadores de red a través de

# netstat -s

En FreeBSD-8 + apareció la opción -Q de netstat, intente seguir el comando para mostrar netisrestadísticas

# netstat -Q

Para resolver problemas TCP no triviales que uno puede usar net.inet.tcp.log_debug, produce una salida dmesg similar a:

host kernel: TCP: [0.0.0.0]:0 to [1.1.1.1]:1; syncache_socket: Socket create failed due to limits or memory shortage
host kernel: TCP: [0.0.0.0]:0 to [1.1.1.1]:1 tcpflags 0x10<ACK>; tcp_input: Listen socket: Socket allocation failed due to limits or memory shortage, sending RST

¡NÓTESE BIEN!
Por último, pero no menos importante: si está en sintonía de red, es una buena práctica comprar la mejor tarjeta de red que pueda pagar. Personalmente prefiero Intel igb(4), la lista de modelos se puede encontrar en if_igb.c

# man 7 tuning

Y FreeBSD Wiki sobre ajuste de rendimiento de red hecho por los propios desarrolladores.

PPS Calomel.org - El blog de investigación y referencia de código abierto tiene una buena redacción sobre el rendimiento de la red y un artículo reciente sobre la optimización y optimización de FreeBSD .

Gracias
. Quería agradecer a la comunidad de FreeBSD, especialmente al autor de nginx: Igor Sysoev, nginx-ru @ y FreeBSD-performance @ listas de correo por proporcionar información útil sobre el ajuste de FreeBSD. Yandex BSD amantes de noc@y search-admin@, especialmente melifaro@y zont@.

Esto definitivamente no es algo que deba copiar / pegar en sus configuraciones de producción! Algunas de las "afinaciones" proporcionadas pueden ser incluso perjudiciales. Utilice los datos proporcionados como referencia para futuras investigaciones o pruebas A / B. Lo digo de nuevo solo para ser explícito: ¡NO APLIQUE A CIEGO "TUNINGS" QUE HA ENCONTRADO EN INTERNET! .
Antes de aplicar cualquier sysctlsistema de producción, debe investigar su impacto (es esencial mirar el código fuente del kernel) y medir sus beneficios de rendimiento (si los hay) en el entorno de prueba.

Pregunta para los espectadores
¿Qué ajustes está utilizando en sus servidores FreeBSD?

También puede publicar su /etc/sysctl.conf, /boot/loader.conf, opciones del núcleo, etc con la descripción de su significado (no copiar y pegar desde sysctl -d). No olvide especificar el tipo de servidor (frontend, back-end, caché, db, almacenamiento, puerta de enlace, etc.)

¡Compartamos experiencia!

Lo recomendaría en contra options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT. El valor predeterminado es Predeterminado a Denegar. El cortafuegos solo presenta una regla deny ip from any to anyy permanece así hasta que un script configura exactamente qué tráfico debe pasar.

Nota de seguimiento: RSA (una de las compañías de tecnología de seguridad líderes en el mundo) fue pirateada recientemente cuando parte de su firewall se desactivó durante una ventana de mantenimiento. Esto realmente subraya la rapidez con que un sistema puede verse comprometido dadas las condiciones adecuadas.

Si insiste en deshabilitar el firewall hasta que bloquee explícitamente el tráfico no deseado, considere usar el sysctl disponible agregando net.inet.ip.fw.default_to_accept=1a loader.conf. Esto tiene el beneficio adicional de ser modificado fácilmente (sin recompilar el núcleo) si cambia de opinión en algún momento en el futuro.

Desde el sysctl.conf predeterminado, proporciona "seguridad" contra los script kiddies que logran abrirse paso en una cuenta no root. No hace daño tenerlo habilitado (en la mayoría de los casos, las excepciones son demonios no privilegiados que necesitan ver la lista de procesos).

# Uncomment this to prevent users from seeing information about processes that
# are being run under another UID.
security.bsd.see_other_uids=0

Por lo general, agrego seguidores a mi /etc/sysctl.conf también ...

net.inet.tcp.blackhole = 2
net.inet.udp.blackhole = 1

y ambos

security.bsd.see_other_uids = 0
security.bsd.see_other_gids = 0

mientras estamos en el tema de ajuste, también recomendaría echar un vistazo aquí:

NGINX + PHP-FPM + APC = Impresionante

, este tutorial en FreeBSD + ese tutorial en NGINX = ¡Realmente Impresionante! ;)
