TCMalloc Fault

Symptom

When fio is used for a test, the job is suspended before it is initialized after fio is run.

Cause Analysis

fio uses TCMalloc to apply for memory. There is a low probability that the job is suspended.

Solution

When compiling fio in 4, change ./configure to ./configure --disable-tcmalloc.

tar -zxvf fio-3.26.tar.gz
cd fio-3.26
./configure --disable-tcmalloc
make && make install
