Hi, While examining the stack trace from a crash where the process seems to have become extremely slow, I see a lot of these goroutines:
goroutine 66 [mark worker (idle)]: runtime.gopark(0x2cf6cf0, 0xc820d10000, 0x29268b0, 0x12, 0x14, 0x0) /usr/local/go/src/runtime/proc.go:185 +0x163 fp=0xc82006ff50 sp=0xc82006ff28 runtime.gcBgMarkWorker(0xc820016000) /usr/local/go/src/runtime/mgc.go:1289 +0xf7 fp=0xc82006ffb8 sp=0xc82006ff50 runtime.goexit() /usr/local/go/src/runtime/asm_amd64.s:1696 +0x1 fp=0xc82006ffc0 sp=0xc82006ffb8 created by runtime.gcBgMarkStartWorkers /usr/local/go/src/runtime/mgc.go:1239 +0x93 There are *65* such goroutines according to stack trace. Can someone help me understand what could be going on ? 1. Why does go need so many routines gcBgMarkWorkers ? 2. Does it indicate that the process is thrashing memory somehow ? Does it indicate to any specific symtoms ? 3. Can it make the process super slow ?
