[kipmi0]进程CPU占用率高

TOP发现系统负载整体很低,但CPU2的sys占用率很高在90%以上,查看当前正在运行的进程发现kipmi0进程占用率达到100%。

IPMI的初步认识:
IPMI是智能型平台管理接口(Intelligent Platform. Management Interface)的缩写,是管理基于Intel结构的企业系统中所使用的外围设备采用的一种工业标准,
该标准由英特尔/惠普/NEC/美国戴尔电脑和SuperMicro等公司制定。用户可以利用IPMI监视服务器的物理健康特征,如温度/电压/风扇工作状态、电源状态等。而且
更为重要的是IPMI是一个开放的免费标准,用户无需为使用该标准而支付额外的费用。
自1998 年,IPMI论坛创建了IPMI标准依赖,其已经得到了170 多家供应商的支持,使得其逐渐成为了一个完整地包括服务器和其他系统(如存储设备、网络和通信设备)的硬件管理规范,目前该标准最新版本为IPMI 2.0,该版本在原有基础上有了不少的改进,包括可以通过串口、Modem以及Lan等远程环境管理服务器系统(包括远程开关机),以及在安全、VLAN 和刀片支持等方面的提高。IPMI针对大量监 控、控制和自动回复服务器的作业,提供了智能型的管理方式。此标准适用于不同的服务器拓朴学,以及Windows、Linux、 Solaris、Mac或是混合型的操作系统。此外,由于IPMI可在不同的属性值下运作,即使服务器本身的运作不正常,或是由于任何原因而无法提供服 务,IPMI仍可正常运作。

查看IPMI相关的内核源码,发现09年提出的一个Patch(目前已合入主干,并做了再次修改):

通过Patch的说明以及Patch中最后的参数介绍:当kipmid占用较多CPU时,可以将kipmid_max_busy_us设置100-500。
邮件原文如下,是为了降低kipmid的开销

  1. Hi all,


  2. I am sorry for the long silence. I am sending here a new version of my patch which takes into account Bela's suggestions (well, most of them).

  3. I compiled and tested it with 2.6.29.4, the results are similar as before. By setting kipmid_max_busy_us to a value between 100 and 500, it is possible to bring down kipmid CPU load to practically 0 without loosing too much ipmi throughput performance.


  4. Please give me some feedback whether this patch will get merged, and if not, what improvement is needed.


  5. Regards

Kipmid的开销与其实现有关,暂时不深入究,不过可以通过Patch看到通过设置kipmid_max_busy_us来影响kipmid的调度策略,进而降低CPU的占用率。
看一下网上对ipmi占用CPU问题的说明:

Fix:不需要修复
No fix required. You should ignore increased CPU utilization as it has no impact on actual system performance.
利用空余的CPU资源进行一些接口自动调节的任务。

临时降低(立即生效,cpu占用率降到10%以内):

echo 100 > /sys/module/ipmi_si/parameters/kipmid_max_busy_us

永久性降低(修改配置文件,模块/系统重启生效)

To make the changes persistent you can configure the options for the ipmi_si kernel module.
Create a file in /etc/modprobe.d/, i.e./etc/modprobe.d/ipmi.conf, and add the following content:
# Prevent kipmi0 from consuming 100% CPU

echo "options ipmi_si kipmid_max_busy_us=100">/etc/modprobe.d/ipmi.conf
