原标题:Memory leak opening files
原问题
我在运行 Python 脚本时发现我认为是内存泄漏。这是我的脚本:
import sys
import time
class MyObj(object):
def __init__(self, filename):
with open(filename) as f:
self.att = f.read()
def myfunc(filename):
mylist = [MyObj(filename) for x in xrange(100)]
len(mylist)
return []
def main():
filename = sys.argv[1]
myfunc(filename)
time.sleep(3600)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
主函数调用myfunc(),它创建了一个包含 100 个对象的列表,每个对象打开和
读取文件。从myfunc() 返回后,我希望从 100 项列表中获得内存和
从读取文件被释放,因为它们不再被引用。然而,当我
使用ps 命令检查内存使用情况,Python 进程使用大约 10,000 KB
比从注释掉第 12 行和第 13 行的脚本运行的 Python 进程更多的内存。
奇怪的是内存泄漏(如果是这样的话)似乎只发生 对于小于 128KB 的文件。我创建了一个 bash 脚本来运行这个脚本,其中包含文件范围 大小从 1KB 到 200KB,当文件大小达到 128KB 时,内存增加停止。 这是 bash 脚本:
#!/bin/bash
echo "PID RSS S TTY TIME COMMAND" > output.txt
for i in `seq 1 200`;
do
python debug_memory.py "data/stuff_${i}K.txt" &
pid=$!
sleep 0.1
ps -e -O rss | grep $pid | grep -v grep >> output.txt
kill $pid
done
这是 bash 脚本的输出:
PID RSS S TTY TIME COMMAND

有人可以解释发生了什么吗?为什么我看到内存使用量增加 使用
我的完整测试环境位于此处: https://github.com/saltycrane/debugging-python-memory-usage/tree/50f73358c7a84a504333ce9c4071b0f3537bbc0f
我在 Ubuntu 12.04 上运行 Python 2.7.3。
更新 1
此问题并非特定于处理大小
import sys
import time
class MyObj(object):
def __init__(self, size_kb):
self.att = ' ' * int(size_kb) * 1024
def myfunc(size_kb):
mylist = [MyObj(size_kb) for x in xrange(100)]
len(mylist)
return []
def main():
size_kb = sys.argv[1]
myfunc(size_kb)
time.sleep(3600)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
运行此脚本会产生类似的结果。更新的测试环境位于此处: https://github.com/saltycrane/debugging-python-memory-usage/tree/59b7ff61134dfc11c4195e9201b2c1728ed4fcce
更新 2
我通过以下方式进一步简化了我的测试脚本:1. 删除类并简单地创建字符串列表 2. 删除 myfunc() 并使用 del 删除 mylist 对象
import sys
import time
def main():
size_kb = sys.argv[1]
mylist = []
for x in xrange(100):
mystr = ' ' * int(size_kb) * 1024
mylist.append(mystr)
del mylist
time.sleep(3600)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
我的简化脚本也给出了与原始脚本相似的结果。 但是,如果我不创建单独的字符串变量,我看不到 记忆力的增加。这是不创建 增加内存:
import sys
import time
def main():
size_kb = sys.argv[1]
mylist = []
for x in xrange(100):
mylist.append(' ' * int(size_kb) * 1024)
del mylist
time.sleep(3600)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

更多问题:
- 其他人可以重现我的结果吗?
-
ps看到的内存增加是预期的吗?
提示正在发生的事情
我发现了一些关于“空闲列表”的有趣信息,它们看起来像 他们可能与这个问题有关:
- Why doesn't Python release the memory when I delete a large object?
- How can I explicitly free memory in Python?
- Python Memory Management — Theano v0.6rc3 documentation
来自最后一个链接:
为了加快内存分配(和重用),Python 使用许多列表来存储小对象。每个列表将包含类似大小的对象
确实:如果一个项目(大小为 x)被释放(由于缺少引用而被释放),它的位置不会返回到 Python 的全局内存池(甚至更少返回到系统),而只是标记为空闲并添加到大小为 x 的项目的免费列表。
如果小对象内存从未被释放,那么不可避免的结论是,这些小对象列表就像金鱼一样,只会不断增长,不会缩小,并且应用程序的内存占用由分配的最大数量的小对象支配在任何给定点。
更新 3
我在更新 2 中过度简化了代码。在末尾添加行 del mystr
脚本释放了内存。
(见:https://github.com/saltycrane/debugging-python-memory-usage/blob/dd058e4774802cae7cbfca520fb835ea46b645e8/debug_memory_leaks.py)
我更新了脚本,使其足够复杂来演示该问题。 以下代码中仍然存在该问题。 最新代码/环境位于:https://github.com/saltycrane/debugging-python-memory-usage/tree/fc0c8ce9ba621cb86b6abb93adf1b297a7c0230b
import gc
import sys
import time
def main():
size_kb = sys.argv[1]
mylist = []
for x in xrange(100):
mystr = ' ' * int(size_kb) * 1024
mydict = {'mykey': mystr}
mylist.append(mydict)
del mystr
del mydict
del mylist
gc.collect()
time.sleep(3600)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
我也跑了一些其他环境的脚本。奇怪的结果是 从干净的 virtualenv 中运行。在这种情况下,内存下降 发生在 260KB 而不是 128KB。见https://github.com/saltycrane/debugging-python-memory-usage/tree/52fbd5d57ff45affdcd70623ddb74fa1f1ffbbc2
环境:
- Ubuntu 12.04 64 位,系统 Python 2.7.3:原始运行
- Ubuntu 12.04 64 位,从源代码编译的 Python 3.3.0:类似结果
- Scientific Linux 6 64 位,Python 2.6.6:类似结果
- Ubuntu 12.04 64 位,来自 virtualenv 的 Python 2.7.3:内存下降发生在 260KB 而不是 128KB

在阅读了其中的一些内容后,我看到了对 256KB 的“竞技场大小”的引用。 也许这有关系?
更新 4(大部分已解决)
schlenk uncovered the reason the memory usage drops off at 128KB。
128KB 是“内存分配函数”(malloc?)
使用 mmap 而不是使用 sbrk 增加程序中断。
有趣的是,可以通过环境变量更改阈值。
我运行了一个测试,将MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD_ 环境变量设置为
不同的值和内存使用量的下降与该值相匹配。
结果见这里:

我仍然想知道它是否期望我的脚本的行为

注意:根据最后两个链接,有一个性能(速度)命中 使用 mmap 而不是 sbrk。
【问题讨论】:
-
我对你没有任何智慧,但我只想说这是我在 StackExchange 上见过的最详细、最清晰的问题之一。一本引人入胜的读物,尽管我不知道问题可能是什么。
-
嗯,当然 mmap() 要慢得多。 sbrk() 或多或少只是增加一个指针, mmap() 是一个系统调用。
