JFR定位线上问题实例 - JFR导致的雪崩问题定位与解决原创

最近发现一个应用，使用默认的 JFR 配置，发生了类似于雪崩的现象，这里记录下，引以为戒。
Key takeaways
- JFR 的线程堆栈 dump 采集默认周期是everyChunk，也就是每次新建一个Chunk就会采集一次。默认每个Chunk大小为 12M，在线程比较多的时候，堆栈 dump 可能大于 12M，导致 JFR 一直切换新的 Chunk，然后又触发evenryChunk导致无限循环而雪崩。
- 对于 JFR 默认事件采集配置（位于JDK目录/lib/jfr/default.jfc），每个采集周期和Chunk相关的，都要谨慎处理，最好周期通过固定时间写死，例如每一分钟等等，不要使用Chunk作为指标，防止上面这个问题。
- 只有 Running 的线程才会进行 CPU 上下文切换，创建很多线程，但是同一时间有任务的线程很少（Running 线程比较少），那么线程切换也不会很频繁。等待任务的线程基本不占用 CPU 资源。
背景介绍
线上某个线程数非常多的应用，线程是空闲状态，有任务提交过来，但是过了 10s，任务才开始执行，并且这一段时间有很多类似的情况，例如：
2020-12-01 13:07:34.515 INFO [微服务名称,298ee1f359f67ff7,298ee1f359f67ff7] [19] [线程全局唯一名称：调度线程] 任务提交到线程池
.....
2020-12-01 13:07:43.623 INFO [微服务名称,298ee1f359f67ff7,e881ba0d86fbc4fc] [19] [线程全局唯一名称：24684780-0] 开始处理
2020-12-01 13:07:44.159 INFO [微服务名称,298ee1f359f67ff7,e881ba0d86fbc4fc] [19] [线程全局唯一名称：24684780-0] 处理完成
查看24684780-0这个线程池的统计当时的队列是空的，所有线程都是等待任务的状态。排除了有其他任务占满核心线程池导致等待的情况。
线程一直空闲，但是却不能接受任务处理，表示这个线程可能一直处于需要进入安全点SafePoint的场景。查看GC，当时的 GC 是正常的，证明并不是 GC 引起的需要进入安全点：
查看当时的 safepoint 日志（我们线上的进程开启了 safepoint 日志，参数：-Xlog:safepoint=debug:file=safepoint.log:utctime,level,tags:filecount=50,filesize=100M），发现在这期间内，有很多很多的进入 safepoint 的处理（我们只看了进入安全点（Entering safepoint region）这一行）：

看上去很像 JFR 的定时采集，通过 top -Hp查看线程cpu占用：

。。。。。。
发现使用 CPU 最多的线程是 VM 线程，其次是 JFR 线程。怀疑是因为 JFR 采集的原因造成的所有线程一直进入安全点的问题。我们的 JFR 采集事件的配置是默认的配置，也就是 JDK 目录下的 lib 目录下的 jfr 目录下的 default.jfc 查看其中的线程 Dump 配置：
<event name="jdk.ThreadDump">
<setting name="enabled" control="thread-dump-enabled">true</setting>
<setting name="period" control="thread-dump-interval">everyChunk</setting>
</event>
发现默认是everyChunk，也就是每次进入新的Chunk会打印一次。那么什么是Chunk?啥时候进入新的Chunk？
在 JFR 中，所有的 Event （包括通过JFR API产生的 Event 还有 JVM 产生的 EVENT），会先存储到每个线程自己的 Thread Buffer 中；在这个 Buffer 满了之后，会将 Buffer 的内容刷入 Global Buffer 中；Global Buffer 是一个环形 Buffer，保存着所有线程发送来的 Thread Buffer 中的内容。当这个环形 Buffer 存储到达上限之后，根据配置，会选择丢弃或者刷入文件，这里默认是刷入文件。这个文件，就可以理解为Chunk。
Chunk的大小是有限制的，默认是12m.但是，这个进程的线程很多，导致线程 dump 超过了 12m。导致 JFR 一直切换新的 Chunk，然后又触发evenryChunk导致无限循环进入安全点。
解决方案
发现问题之后，首先想到的是，减少线程数量。由于业务需要，这个业务的线程主要用来做业务隔离以及有序执行，同一时间内的 Running 线程数量并不会很多。只有 Running 的线程才会进行 CPU 上下文切换，创建很多线程，但是同一时间有任务的线程很少（Running 线程比较少），那么线程切换也不会很频繁。等待任务的线程基本不占用 CPU 资源。所以暂时先不考虑减少线程数量。
最后的解决方案是，对于 JFR 默认事件采集配置，每个采集周期和Chunk相关的，都要谨慎处理，最好周期通过固定时间写死，例如每一分钟等等，不要使用Chunk作为指标，防止出现某个采集雪崩导致不断切换chunk导致无限采集这个问题。
