Swap空间利用率不释放

某个数据库系统，Swap空间一直利用率很高，不能释放。
交代一下环境：
[oracle@salesdb admin]$ more /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.2 (Maipo)
[oracle@salesdb admin]$ sqlplus -v

SQL*Plus: Release 12.1.0.2.0 Production
[oracle@salesdb admin]$ more /etc/sysctl.conf

kernel.shmmax = 395136991232
kernel.shmall = 96468992
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 5010 641280 5010 128
fs.file-max = 6815744
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 9000 65500
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 2
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 2
net.core.rmem_default=8388608
net.core.rmem_max=16777216
net.core.wmem_default=8388608
net.core.wmem_max=16777216
fs.aio-max-nr=1048576
vm.swappiness = 0                           ###############这个参数###########
kernel.sysrq = 0
kernel.core_uses_pid = 1
kernel.threads-max = 65535
kernel.msgmni = 16384
kernel.msgmnb = 65535
kernel.msgmax = 65535
vm.nr_hugepages = 77572

其中设定了swappiness=0，理解的是为0就是优先使用物理内存，我们看看系统里识别到的到底是多少

调取了系统history，未找到sysctl -p或者reboot步骤，遂决定停库让其参数生效，还有vm.nr_hugepages参数也有oracle提供的脚本进行建议设定；

将这两个参数修改后，sysctl -p一直卡着不动，后查看meminfo一直在缓慢增长。

# egrep 'HugePages_Total|HugePages_Free' /proc/meminfo
HugePages_Total:    77572                                     ###########该数值一直在变，递增#######
HugePages_Free:      0

考虑到停机窗口，将sysctl -p操作kill掉，reboot主机参数生效。至此swap空间也一直没有持续增长。
