Hi,

We run postgres 9.3.3 on Centos 6.3, kernel 2.6.32-431.3.1. Every once in a while, we see postgres processes spinning on semop:

Here is an output from an strace on a delete process:

But I’m not sure where to go next. Is there a resource contention that this is indicating, and if so, any way to tell what the contention is on?

it might be long shot, but when we had problems with lots of backends "sitting" in semop, it was solved by:

1. disabling zone_reclaim (echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode)
2. disabling transparent hugepage support - this has various names on different kernel/distributions, but "find /sys | grep -i transparent.*hugepage.*enable" will find it, and then just echo never there.

Are there a lot of tuples in the table that have been inserted or
updated by still-open transactions?  Such tuples can cause contention
when other processes need to check them for visibility.

You might want to upgrade and see if that fixes it, as there was a
partial fix in 9.3.4 for this (It fixed the problem where it occurred
in the planning done in the BIND phase when the unresolved tuples were
at the ends of an index).

If it is what I am guessing at, then the top anonymous address is
probably coming from LWLockAcquire, and those are coming from
HeapTupleSatisfiesMVCC.  I don't know how to verify that, though.

Recompile postgres with -fno-omit-frame-pointers and use perf record -g.

Thank you, yes, we have both zone_reclaim_mode and THP disabled

Yes, there are likely to be inserts. That table is a log capture table
used by our replication software, so essentially every
update/delete/insert will have a record inserted into the table. It has no
updates. The only thing that deletes from it is the process that had all
the semop calls.

We¹ll look into the postgres minor upgrade and recompile, thanks.
