sysctl调整Linux系统性能

sysctl是一个允许您改变正在运行中的Linux系统的接口。它包含一些 TCP/IP 堆栈和虚拟内存系统的高级选项， 这可以让有经验的管理员提高引人注目的系统性能。用sysctl可以读取设置超过五百个系统变量。基于这点，sysctl(8)提供两个功能：读取和修改系统设置。
查看所有可读变量：
%sysctl -a
读一个指定的变量，例如kern.maxproc：
%sysctl kern.maxprockern.maxproc: 1044
要设置一个指定的变量，直接用variable=value这样的语法：
#sysctl kern.maxfiles=5000
kern.maxfiles: 2088 -> 5000
您可以使用sysctl修改系统变量，也可以通过编辑sysctl.conf文件来修改系统变量。sysctl.conf 看起来很像rc.conf。它用variable=value的形式来设定值。指定的值在系统进入多用户模式之后被设定。并不是所有的变量都可以在这个模式下设定。
sysctl 变量的设置通常是字符串、数字或者布尔型。 (布尔型用1来表示’yes’，用0来表示’no’)。

sysctl -w kernel.sysrq=0
sysctl -w kernel.core_uses_pid=1
sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_redirects=0
sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route=0
sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter=1
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies=1
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog=2048
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout=30
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_synack_retries=2
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time=3600
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling=1
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_sack=1

配置sysctl

编辑此文件：

vi /etc/sysctl.conf

如果该文件为空，则输入以下内容，否则请根据情况自己做调整：

net.core.optmem_max = 40960

如果希望屏蔽别人 ping 你的主机，则加入以下代码：

# Disable ping requests
net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_all = 1

编辑完成后，请执行以下命令使变动立即生效：

/sbin/sysctl -p
/sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv4.route.flush=1

我们常常在 Linux 的 /proc/sys 目录下,手动设定一些 kernel 的参数或是直接 echo 特定的值给一个 proc下的虚拟档案,俾利某些档案之开启,常见的例如设定开机时自动启动 IP Forwarding:
echo “1” > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

其实,在 Linux 我们还可以用 sysctl command 便可以简易的去检视、设定或自动配置 特定的 kernel 设定。我们可以在系统提示符号下输入「sysctl -a」,摘要如后:abi.defhandler_coff = 117440515

dev.raid.speed_limit_max = 100000

net.ipv4.conf.default.send_redirects = 1

net.ipv4.conf.default.secure_redirects = 1

net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_redirects = 1

net.ipv4.conf.default.mc_forwarding = 0

net.ipv4.neigh.lo.delay_first_probe_time = 5

net.ipv4.neigh.lo.base_reachable_time = 30

net.ipv4.icmp_ratelimit = 100

net.ipv4.inet_peer_gc_mintime = 10

net.ipv4.igmp_max_memberships = 20

net.ipv4.ip_no_pmtu_disc = 0

net.core.no_cong_thresh = 20

net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 300

net.core.rmem_default = 65535

net.core.wmem_max = 65535

vm.kswapd = 512 32 8

vm.overcommit_memory = 0

vm.bdflush = 30 64 64 256 500 3000 60 0 0

vm.freepages = 351 702 1053

kernel.sem = 250 32000 32 128

kernel.panic = 0

kernel.domainname = (none)

kernel.hostname = pc02.shinewave.com.tw

kernel.version = #1 Tue Oct 30 20:11:04 EST 2001

kernel.osrelease = 2.4.9-13

kernel.ostype = Linux

fs.dentry-state = 1611 969 45 0 0 0

fs.file-nr = 1121 73 8192

fs.inode-state = 1333 523 0 0 0 0 0

从上述的语法我们大概可看出 sysctl 的表示法乃把目录结构的「/」以「.」表示,一层一层的连结下去。当然以echo 特定的值给一个 proc下的虚拟档案也是可以用 sysctl加以表示,例如:

#sysctl –w net.ipv4.ip_forward =”1”

或是直接在 /etc/sysctl.conf 增删修改特定档案的 0,1值亦可:

# Enables packet forwarding

net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

# Enables source route verification

net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1

# Disables the magic-sysrq key

kernel.sysrq = 0

当然如果考虑 reboot 后仍有效, 直接在 /etc/sysctl.conf 增删修改特定档案的 0,1值才可使之保留设定(以RedHat 为例,每次开机系统启动后, init 会执行 /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit,便会使用 /etc/sysctl.conf 的预设值去执行 sysctl)。
