Weblogic OutOfMemory exception的误解 -- thread limitation

不是所有的OutofMemory exception都是内存问题。。。前几天有个客户的site报了以下错误：

[ERROR][thread ] Could not start thread Timer-72025. Resource temporarily unavailable
Exception in thread "Timer-72024" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Resource temporarily unavailable in tsStartJavaThread 
(lifecycle.c:1097).

Attempting to allocate 2G bytes

There is insufficient native memory for the Java
Runtime Environment to continue.

Possible reasons:
  The system is out of physical RAM or swap space
  In 32 bit mode, the process size limit was hit

Possible solutions:
  Reduce memory load on the system
  Increase physical memory or swap space
  Check if swap backing store is full
  Use 64 bit Java on a 64 bit OS
  Decrease Java heap size (-Xmx/-Xms)
  Decrease number of Java threads
  Decrease Java thread stack sizes (-Xss)
  Disable compressed references (-XXcompressedRefs=false)

第一反应以为是内存不足，于是dump了heap回来看，发现系统只占用了80M的内存，远远系统内存绰绰有余，那么为啥会出现这种情况呢？查看了出错的代码，发现代码启动了很多的线程，遂想起以前遇到过类似的问题，weblogic里面启动的线程太多，超出了linux的最大限制，也是会出这个看起来内存泄漏的日志。查看系统的限制：

sc-1@vECE-222 limits.d # ulimit -a
core file size          (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size           (kbytes, -d) unlimited
scheduling priority             (-e) 0
file size               (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals                 (-i) 38610
max locked memory       (kbytes, -l) 64
max memory size         (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files                      (-n) 8192
pipe size            (512 bytes, -p) 8
POSIX message queues     (bytes, -q) 819200
real-time priority              (-r) 0
stack size              (kbytes, -s) 10240
cpu time               (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes              (-u) 1024
virtual memory          (kbytes, -v) unlimited
file locks                      (-x) unlimited
发现最大的进程数是1024，注意：linux里面计算线程和进程是用一样计算的，这里说的max user processes是包括线程的。

使用以下代码重现问题：

public class ThreadExample {

    public static void main(String[] args){
        System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName());
        for(int i=0; i< 2048; i++){
            new Thread("" + i){
                public void run(){
                    System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " running");

                    try {
                        Thread.sleep(60000);
                    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                    System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " ending");
                }
            }.start();
        }
    }
}
执行和输出：

sc-1@ECE30CP3_Z1 etmdaha # su -p occas -c "/opt/jrockit-jdk/bin/java ThreadExample"

5 running
//

linux系统资源有各种限制：内存限制，栈限制，文件数目限制，线程限制，要小心陷进这些问题。
