Re: asynch descriptor resize wait event

It turns out this was not the issue...severe performance degradation due to optimizer_index_cost_adj and optimizer_index_caching were not set to default.
Once that was fixed the waits disappeared. The incorrect settings were due to recommendations by a third party vendor.

April,

If you decide to open an SR, please remember to post what the analyst says to the list, or at least email me. I'm curious. Thank you.

The only meaningful note on MOS I can find is 1081977.1. "This event is set when the number of asynch descriptor reserved inside the OS kernel has to be readjusted." On Linux, the number of system-wide AIO's is capped by /proc/sys/fs/aio-max-nr and its current value is aio-nr. I'm guessing after the said event occurs, /proc/sys/fs/aio-max-nr is raised. If so, and if the event happens often, it may be a good idea to manually raise aio-max-nr (echo some_large_number > /proc/sys/fs/aio-max-nr).

-----Original message-----

This undocumented wait event is recorded when there is an underlying IO descriptors (kiocb in linux?) needs to be adjusted. During the time all the pending IOs are suspended momentarily and resumed after the structure is expanded. I am not sure why this happens in an otherwise idle database. Perhaps a bug?
