397 // || !is_prev_youngergen_card_val(*cur_entry), | |
398 // "Illegal CT value"); | |
399 // That, however, may not hold occasionally, because of | |
400 // CMS or MSC in the old gen. To wit, consider the | |
401 // following two simple illustrative scenarios: | |
402 // (a) CMS: Consider the case where a large object L | |
403 // spanning several cards is allocated in the old | |
404 // gen, and has a young gen reference stored in it, dirtying | |
405 // some interior cards. A young collection scans the card, | |
406 // finds a young ref and installs a youngergenP_n value. | |
407 // L then goes dead. Now a CMS collection starts, | |
408 // finds L dead and sweeps it up. Assume that L is | |
409 // abutting _unallocated_blk, so _unallocated_blk is | |
410 // adjusted down to (below) L. Assume further that | |
411 // no young collection intervenes during this CMS cycle. | |
412 // The next young gen cycle will not get to look at this | |
413 // youngergenP_n card since it lies in the unoccupied | |
414 // part of the space. | |
415 // Some young collections later the blocks on this | |
416 // card can be re-allocated either due to direct allocation | |
417 // or due to absorbing promotions. At this time, the | |
418 // before-gc verification will fail the above assert. | |
419 // (b) MSC: In this case, an object L with a young reference | |
420 // is on a card that (therefore) holds a youngergen_n value. | |
421 // Suppose also that L lies towards the end of the used | |
422 // the used space before GC. An MSC collection | |
423 // occurs that compacts to such an extent that this | |
424 // card is no longer in the occupied part of the space. | |
425 // Since current code in MSC does not always clear cards | |
426 // in the unused part of old gen, this stale youngergen_n | |
427 // value is left behind and can later be covered by | |
428 // an object when promotion or direct allocation | |
429 // re-allocates that part of the heap. | |
430 // | |
431 // Fortunately, the presence of such stale card values is | |
432 // "only" a minor annoyance in that subsequent young collections | |
433 // might needlessly scan such cards, but would still never corrupt | |
434 // the heap as a result. However, it's likely not to be a significant | |
435 // performance inhibitor in practice. For instance, | |
436 // some recent measurements with unoccupied cards eagerly cleared | |
437 // out to maintain this invariant, showed next to no | |
438 // change in young collection times; of course one can construct | |
439 // degenerate examples where the cost can be significant.) | |
440 // Note, in particular, that if the "stale" card is modified | |
441 // after re-allocation, it would be dirty, not "stale". Thus, | |
442 // we can never have a younger ref in such a card and it is | |
443 // safe not to scan that card in any collection. [As we see | |
444 // below, we do some unnecessary scanning | |
445 // in some cases in the current parallel scanning algorithm.] | |
446 // | |
447 // The main point below is that the parallel card scanning code | |
448 // deals correctly with these stale card values. There are two main | |
449 // cases to consider where we have a stale "younger gen" value and a | |
450 // "derivative" case to consider, where we have a stale | |
451 // "cur_younger_gen_and_prev_non_clean" value, as will become | |
452 // apparent in the case analysis below. | |
453 // o Case 1. If the stale value corresponds to a younger_gen_n | |
454 // value other than the cur_younger_gen value then the code | |
455 // treats this as being tantamount to a prev_younger_gen | |
456 // card. This means that the card may be unnecessarily scanned. | |
457 // There are two sub-cases to consider: | |
458 // o Case 1a. Let us say that the card is in the occupied part | |
459 // of the generation at the time the collection begins. In | |
460 // that case the card will be either cleared when it is scanned | |
461 // for young pointers, or will be set to cur_younger_gen as a | |
462 // result of promotion. (We have elided the normal case where | |
463 // the scanning thread and the promoting thread interleave | |
464 // possibly resulting in a transient | |
465 // cur_younger_gen_and_prev_non_clean value before settling | |
466 // to cur_younger_gen. [End Case 1a.] | |
467 // o Case 1b. Consider now the case when the card is in the unoccupied | |
468 // part of the space which becomes occupied because of promotions | |
469 // into it during the current young GC. In this case the card | |
470 // will never be scanned for young references. The current | |
471 // code will set the card value to either | |
472 // cur_younger_gen_and_prev_non_clean or leave | |
473 // it with its stale value -- because the promotions didn't | |
474 // result in any younger refs on that card. Of these two | |
475 // cases, the latter will be covered in Case 1a during | |
476 // a subsequent scan. To deal with the former case, we need | |
477 // to further consider how we deal with a stale value of | |
478 // cur_younger_gen_and_prev_non_clean in our case analysis | |
479 // below. This we do in Case 3 below. [End Case 1b] | |
480 // [End Case 1] | |
481 // o Case 2. If the stale value corresponds to cur_younger_gen being | |
482 // a value not necessarily written by a current promotion, the | |
483 // card will not be scanned by the younger refs scanning code. | |
484 // (This is OK since as we argued above such cards cannot contain | |
485 // any younger refs.) The result is that this value will be | |
486 // treated as a prev_younger_gen value in a subsequent collection, | |
487 // which is addressed in Case 1 above. [End Case 2] | |
488 // o Case 3. We here consider the "derivative" case from Case 1b. above | |
489 // because of which we may find a stale | |
490 // cur_younger_gen_and_prev_non_clean card value in the table. | |
491 // Once again, as in Case 1, we consider two subcases, depending | |
492 // on whether the card lies in the occupied or unoccupied part | |
493 // of the space at the start of the young collection. | |
494 // o Case 3a. Let us say the card is in the occupied part of | |
495 // the old gen at the start of the young collection. In that | |
496 // case, the card will be scanned by the younger refs scanning | |
497 // code which will set it to cur_younger_gen. In a subsequent | |
498 // scan, the card will be considered again and get its final | |
499 // correct value. [End Case 3a] | |
500 // o Case 3b. Now consider the case where the card is in the | |
501 // unoccupied part of the old gen, and is occupied as a result | |
502 // of promotions during thus young gc. In that case, | |
503 // the card will not be scanned for younger refs. The presence | |
504 // of newly promoted objects on the card will then result in | |
505 // its keeping the value cur_younger_gen_and_prev_non_clean | |
506 // value, which we have dealt with in Case 3 here. [End Case 3b] | |
507 // [End Case 3] | |
508 // | |
509 // (Please refer to the code in the helper class | |
510 // ClearNonCleanCardWrapper and in CardTableModRefBS for details.) | |
511 // | |
512 // The informal arguments above can be tightened into a formal | |
513 // correctness proof and it behooves us to write up such a proof, | |
514 // or to use model checking to prove that there are no lingering | |
515 // concerns. | |
516 // | |
517 // Clearly because of Case 3b one cannot bound the time for | |
518 // which a card will retain what we have called a "stale" value. | |
519 // However, one can obtain a Loose upper bound on the redundant | |
520 // work as a result of such stale values. Note first that any | |
521 // time a stale card lies in the occupied part of the space at | |
522 // the start of the collection, it is scanned by younger refs | |
523 // code and we can define a rank function on card values that | |
524 // declines when this is so. Note also that when a card does not | |
525 // lie in the occupied part of the space at the beginning of a | |
526 // young collection, its rank can either decline or stay unchanged. | |
527 // In this case, no extra work is done in terms of redundant | |
528 // younger refs scanning of that card. | |
529 // Then, the case analysis above reveals that, in the worst case, | |
530 // any such stale card will be scanned unnecessarily at most twice. | |
531 // | |
532 // It is nonethelss advisable to try and get rid of some of this | |
533 // redundant work in a subsequent (low priority) re-design of | |
534 // the card-scanning code, if only to simplify the underlying | |
535 // state machine analysis/proof. ysr 1/28/2002. XXX | |
