早上10点左右，某台线上ECS服务器突然没响应。
查看日志，发现如下信息：

经查，是linux自身的一个限制所致：
By default Linux uses up to 40% of the available memory for file system caching. After this mark has been reached the file system flushes all outstanding data to disk causing all following IOs going synchronous. For flushing out this data to disk this there is a time limit of 120 seconds by default. In the case here the IO subsystem is not fast enough to flush the data withing 120 seconds.
看了下sar -r内存历史，如下：
基本上可以认为确实为此问题导致。
缓解此问题的方法：
vim /etc/sysctrl.conf
vm.dirty_background_ratio = 5
vm.dirty_ratio = 10
因为是专用mysql服务器，故方法是适用的。
这个问题在实体机发生的概率应该是非常低的，在虚拟机中概率估计大大增加。
