Httperf文件描述符限制

Question

My problem is the same as this question and this question

I basicly want trying to run httperf with 10000 connection in parallel like this [httperf --uri / --server 192.168.1.2 --port 8080 --num-conns=500000 --rate 10000]

I'm running it on Ubuntu 14.04.

First I raised the system file descriptor limit, this is what is configured in my SO now:

$ ulimit -a -S

I tried to compile the HEAD version from github repository, but it seems like completly unstable.

I try also the 0.9.0 version modified limit(changed /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/typesizes.h to unlock the FD_SETSIZE 1024) like others questions answers suggest to do. After recompile the httperf it keeps returning the same error:

I'm not that familliar with low level syscall such as select, but as far as I can tell htperf 0.9.0 use select to handle socket events and this syscall is limited by a hardcoded 1024 size of file descriptor limit. So you guys have any idea what am I doing wrong? How can I unlock the 1024 limit?

Answer 1

You may not want to use 10K descriptors in a single process. If you decide to do it, you will probably want to split the handling up so that a single call to select() is not handling all 10K descriptors (or performance will, to use a descriptive technical term, suck ). See Wikipedia on the C10K Problem or the SO c10k tag — which this question is already tagged with, so you are at least aware of the classification.

You need to look at ulimit -a -H vs ulimit -a -S to see how much of various resources you have (or replace -a with -n to get 'open files' aka 'file descriptors'). If you have a hard limit less than 10K, you are into kernel recompilation, or at least finding the source of that upper limit in the configuration. If the hard limit is bigger, you can override the limit with ulimit at the command line, or with the POSIX getrlimit() and setrlimit() functions and RLIMIT_NOFILE .
