Manual:$wgShellCgroup/de

Under Linux: a cgroup directory used to constrain memory usage of shell commands. The directory must be writable by the user which runs MediaWiki.

If specified, this is used instead of ulimit, which is inaccurate, and causes malloc to return NULL, which exposes bugs in C applications, making them segfault or deadlock.

A wrapper script will create a cgroup for each shell command that runs, as a subgroup of the specified cgroup. If the memory limit is exceeded, the kernel will send a SIGKILL signal to a process in the subgroup. (MediaWiki will often report this error as error code 137, after the bash return status of a command receiving SIGKILL)

Einrichtung
If cgroups are not set up, you may have to mount the cgroup filesystem. Als root:

mount -t tmpfs cgroup_root /sys/fs/cgroup mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory mount -t cgroup cgroup_memory -omemory /sys/fs/cgroup/memory

Als Nächstes musst du MediaWiki-spezifische Konfiguration machen:

mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/mediawiki mkdir -m 0777 /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/mediawiki/job

The reliability of cgroup cleanup can be improved by installing a notify_on_release script in the root cgroup (This step is optional).


 * Copy to /usr/local/bin/cgroup-mediawiki-clean
 * Führe den Befehl aus

echo "/usr/local/bin/cgroup-mediawiki-clean" > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/release_agent

Last of all, enable cgroups in your

echo '$wgShellCgroup = "/sys/fs/cgroup/memory/mediawiki/job";' >> LocalSettings.php

The reliability of cgroup cleanup can be improved by installing a notify_on_release script in the root cgroup, see e.g. 40784

Fehlerbehebung
Falls cgroup nicht funktioniert, versuche Folgendes:

If the memory subsystem has a 0 under enabled, then memory cgroups may be disabled in your kernel. Try rebooting your computer with  on the kernel command line. Du solltest mindestens Version 4.1 verwenden
 * Installiere das Paket cgroup-bin
 * Run the command.
 * Older bash doesn't like the readarray call in limit.sh.
