一 问题描述
将一台zabbix proxy由2.4.5升级到3.0.2后启动了就直接崩溃了。
错误信息如下：
2367:20160508:153246.830 One child process died (PID:42385,exitcode/signal:11). Exiting ...
42367:20160508:153248.904 Zabbix Proxy stopped. Zabbix 3.0.2 (revision 59540).
将日志级别调高点，设置DebugLevel=4，查看报错

zabbix_proxy [9152]: [file:'selfmon.c',line:375] lock failed: [22] Invalid argument
总共有4台proxy，每台proxy的操作系统版本都是CentOS6。就单独这一台zabbix proxy启动有问题，刚启动就有进程死掉。
二 问题解决
查看这台proxy服务器的内核版本是3.9.8-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64，而其他几台proxy的内核版本是2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64 刚开始也没有朝着内核版本的问题方向思考。以为还是proxy的版本或者系统参数设置有问题。
1.排查Linux下的信号量
查看Zabbix的官方BUG追踪平台Invalid argument可能是信号量达到了限制
可以尝试增大信号量的值
echo 256 40000 32 32000 > /proc/sys/kernel/sem
这个四个参数分别是
SEMMSL 每个信号量集的含有的信号量的最大值
SEMMNS 系统层面的信号量数量最大限制
SEMOPM semop(2)调用可以指定的最大操作数量
SEMMNI 系统层面的信号数量最小限制
通过echo方式更改重启后会失效，可以更改/etc/sysctl.conf
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 10000
然后执行sysctl -p
更改参数后proxy启动仍然会崩溃
2.排查内核版本原因
Updating to latest kernel (3.10.0-327.10.1.el7.x86_64) + reboot solved it for me ![]()
The error reported originally may be something else than what affected me.
查看帖子怀疑是内核版本造成的，这台proxy以前有人升级过内核，更改linux启动项设置默认启动内核为2.6.32.重启后问题得到解决，proxy不再崩溃。但是之前proxy 2.4.5在3.9.8的内核上可以正常运行。
遇到这个BUG的人挺多的，有好几个帖子都是反馈这个问题。
三 补充知识
这个BUG涉及到Linux下的信号量相关的知识。信号量是为了解决在多进程编程下资源共享的问题。著名的用信号量来解决的就是哲学家就餐问题。
Linux下使用ipcs命令来查看共享内存，信号量和消息队列
ipcs 默认是-a参数，显示所有信息
