[lttng-dev] [tracecompass-dev] Scalability

[Matthew Khouzam]

Hi Doug & Efficios,


I suspect the issue is with libbabeltrace-ctf. When opening the trace in Trace Compass, it failed saying the sequence was 2gb big. When opening in babeltrace, it OOMed with 2gb allocations. When opening with a hex editor, I saw 2gb allocations.


On another subject, fixing the trace made it scale well in both babeltrace and Trace Compass.


I don't know why, data_length writes the wrong data. Hope this helps all parties.


BR,

Matthew

I have attached the C file for a generator that creates a trace that reproduces the memory issue with babeltrace. The same issue happens with a custom program in the call to add a trace to a context.

I am using babeltrace that I get from my Ubuntu 18.04 distro. It has the version number 1.5.5.

Thanks for the help!

In the thread on the tracecompass list, I also mentioned that the babeltrace utility itself ran out of memory when reading the file. That's actually my biggest worry. I got around the generator issue by flushing every 100K events.

I'll create a quick generator that shows the same issue and post it in a bit.

Doug.

It should be easy to generate a random one with the class I mentioned below

and fill it with 16 million events.


Not if the problem is in the generator code ;).


BTW, two of the int fields are 5 and 10

bits respectively, but I'm not sure that matters (or at least it shouldn't).


Make sure to check the endian-ness of those fields.


What class? Not sure I see any reference to any.


Since you are generating CTF the error can be in the generator code. Please

provide either a trace reproducing the issue or a base reproducer. It will be

much easier overall than us trying to reproduce it blindly.


Cheers.
