近日一银行客户巡检发现一内存使用率高的oracle 19c(19.4) RAC数据库环境，因为是linuxone拆分的多机器，内存分配不是很充足，在当前动辄1T内存可能并不易发现，分析内存使用主要是因为Oracle的多个后台进程ora_wNNN_xxx进程，每个进程PGA使用近600MB。WNNN后台进程是SMCO(Space Management Coordinator Process)的slave进程，从oracle 11g引入的智能空间预分配space preallocation的新特性，在oracle 12c后SMCO也负责生命周期管理ILM(Information Lifecycle Management).由于SMCO 或W00n在完成space preallocation过程中遇到的问题时，可以考虑禁用该特性.

现象：


SMCO空间预分配space preallocation的特性涉及3个方面：

    • 1. 表空间的预分配和扩展
    • 2. 数据段segment的预分配和扩展
    • 3. LOB chunk的预分配和扩展

对应的数据库参数是 _enable_space_preallocation

Parameter Name: _enable_space_preallocation
Parameter Type: integer
Allowable Values:
0x00: disable all levels of space preallocation
0x01: enable tablespace extension ahead of time
0x02: enable segment growth ahead of time
0x04: enable Lob chunk allocation ahead of time

Description: This parameter allows the user to enable different levels of space preallocation.
Dynamic: The parameter is dynamic and the scope is ALTER SYSTEM.

19c Default: 3

预分配和扩展任务主要由SMCO(Space Management Coordinator Process)和其小工进程W00n(slave )一起完成。其中SMCO充当调度进程以便管理任务队列和slave进程池，基于任务需要来动态分配新的slave(W00n)进程，并监控slave进程。W00n等一组Slave Process，Slave进程总是实际干活的人。Salve process由SMCO这个调度器动态分配。一旦启动后，slave 进程将自主工作，最大个数受_max_spacebg_slaves参数限制，默认为1024. 都不是致命进程，可以KILL并不会影响实例可用性。
