Jenkins 2.176.2 using Ubuntu 18.04 package file from pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable
AMD Threadripper 32-core/64-core machine with 128GB of RAM
Single master node with 20 executors
Jenkins is exhausting resources on my machine seemingly to create 10k + timer threads. This thread creation then hits the systemd imposed 15% of task limit set by the kernel (/proc/sys/kernel/pid_max = 131072) which is 19660 by default on my system.
This particular java heap dump shows that 4675 of the total 4877 match the expression Timer-.* and have the Context Class Loader -> org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.cps.CpsGroovyShell$CleanGroovyClassLoader.
Bottom right corner of my Jenkins UI confirms I'm running the latest version (Jenkins ver. 2.176.2)with all plugins updated on OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_222-b05) with Ubuntu 18.04 as of 2019.07.23.
To dig deeper, after the resource limit is hit, threads fail to create and Jenkins becomes unstable until restarted, logs contain many instances of the following:
SEVERE: Timer task hudson.model.Queue$MaintainTask@621715d8 failed java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread
NetData on the system shows that if it doesn't hit the thread limit it will spike and often recover correctly suggesting the threads are cleaned up at some point if it doesn't derail the process first.
I've increased the systemd limit on the system and the problem hasn't derailed the jenkins process in a few days by adding the following to the systemd service file:
TasksMax=32768
I have been capturing heaps with some automation tools and catch several heaps exceeding 20k threads in the last few days signifying that the process is still occurring and likely affecting other users, they probably aren't noticing though.
Not sure if this is related to a plugin (listed below with version) or Jenkins core code?
