       //           "Illegal CT value");
       // That, however, may not hold occasionally, because of
       // CMS or MSC in the old gen. To wit, consider the
       // following two simple illustrative scenarios:
       // (a) CMS: Consider the case where a large object L
       //     spanning several cards is allocated in the old
       //     gen, and has a young gen reference stored in it, dirtying
       //     some interior cards. A young collection scans the card,
       //     finds a young ref and installs a youngergenP_n value.
       //     L then goes dead. Now a CMS collection starts,
       //     finds L dead and sweeps it up. Assume that L is
       //     abutting _unallocated_blk, so _unallocated_blk is
       //     adjusted down to (below) L. Assume further that
       //     no young collection intervenes during this CMS cycle.
       //     The next young gen cycle will not get to look at this
       //     youngergenP_n card since it lies in the unoccupied
       //     part of the space.
       //     Some young collections later the blocks on this
       //     card can be re-allocated either due to direct allocation
       //     or due to absorbing promotions. At this time, the
       //     before-gc verification will fail the above assert.
       // (b) MSC: In this case, an object L with a young reference
       //     is on a card that (therefore) holds a youngergen_n value.
       //     Suppose also that L lies towards the end of the used
       //     the used space before GC. An MSC collection
       //     occurs that compacts to such an extent that this
       //     card is no longer in the occupied part of the space.
       //     Since current code in MSC does not always clear cards
       //     in the unused part of old gen, this stale youngergen_n
       //     value is left behind and can later be covered by
       //     an object when promotion or direct allocation
       //     re-allocates that part of the heap.
       //
       // Fortunately, the presence of such stale card values is
       // "only" a minor annoyance in that subsequent young collections
       // might needlessly scan such cards, but would still never corrupt
       // the heap as a result. However, it's likely not to be a significant
       // performance inhibitor in practice. For instance,
       // some recent measurements with unoccupied cards eagerly cleared
       // out to maintain this invariant, showed next to no
       // change in young collection times; of course one can construct
       // degenerate examples where the cost can be significant.)
       // Note, in particular, that if the "stale" card is modified
       // after re-allocation, it would be dirty, not "stale". Thus,
       // we can never have a younger ref in such a card and it is
       // safe not to scan that card in any collection. [As we see
       // below, we do some unnecessary scanning
       // in some cases in the current parallel scanning algorithm.]
       //
       // The main point below is that the parallel card scanning code
       // deals correctly with these stale card values. There are two main
       // cases to consider where we have a stale "younger gen" value and a
       // "derivative" case to consider, where we have a stale
       // "cur_younger_gen_and_prev_non_clean" value, as will become
       // apparent in the case analysis below.
       // o Case 1. If the stale value corresponds to a younger_gen_n
       //   value other than the cur_younger_gen value then the code
       //   treats this as being tantamount to a prev_younger_gen
       //   card. This means that the card may be unnecessarily scanned.
       //   There are two sub-cases to consider:
       //   o Case 1a. Let us say that the card is in the occupied part
       //     of the generation at the time the collection begins. In
       //     that case the card will be either cleared when it is scanned
       //     for young pointers, or will be set to cur_younger_gen as a
       //     result of promotion. (We have elided the normal case where
       //     the scanning thread and the promoting thread interleave
       //     possibly resulting in a transient
       //     cur_younger_gen_and_prev_non_clean value before settling
       //     to cur_younger_gen. [End Case 1a.]
       //   o Case 1b. Consider now the case when the card is in the unoccupied
       //     part of the space which becomes occupied because of promotions
       //     into it during the current young GC. In this case the card
       //     will never be scanned for young references. The current
       //     code will set the card value to either
       //     cur_younger_gen_and_prev_non_clean or leave
       //     it with its stale value -- because the promotions didn't
       //     result in any younger refs on that card. Of these two
       //     cases, the latter will be covered in Case 1a during
       //     a subsequent scan. To deal with the former case, we need
       //     to further consider how we deal with a stale value of
       //     cur_younger_gen_and_prev_non_clean in our case analysis
       //     below. This we do in Case 3 below. [End Case 1b]
       //   [End Case 1]
       // o Case 2. If the stale value corresponds to cur_younger_gen being
       //   a value not necessarily written by a current promotion, the
       //   card will not be scanned by the younger refs scanning code.
       //   (This is OK since as we argued above such cards cannot contain
       //   any younger refs.) The result is that this value will be
       //   treated as a prev_younger_gen value in a subsequent collection,
       //   which is addressed in Case 1 above. [End Case 2]
       // o Case 3. We here consider the "derivative" case from Case 1b. above
       //   because of which we may find a stale
       //   cur_younger_gen_and_prev_non_clean card value in the table.
       //   Once again, as in Case 1, we consider two subcases, depending
       //   on whether the card lies in the occupied or unoccupied part
       //   of the space at the start of the young collection.
       //   o Case 3a. Let us say the card is in the occupied part of
       //     the old gen at the start of the young collection. In that
       //     case, the card will be scanned by the younger refs scanning
       //     code which will set it to cur_younger_gen. In a subsequent
       //     scan, the card will be considered again and get its final
       //     correct value. [End Case 3a]
       //   o Case 3b. Now consider the case where the card is in the
       //     unoccupied part of the old gen, and is occupied as a result
       //     of promotions during thus young gc. In that case,
       //     the card will not be scanned for younger refs. The presence
       //     of newly promoted objects on the card will then result in
       //     its keeping the value cur_younger_gen_and_prev_non_clean
       //     value, which we have dealt with in Case 3 here. [End Case 3b]
       //   [End Case 3]
       //
       // (Please refer to the code in the helper class
       // ClearNonCleanCardWrapper and in CardTableModRefBS for details.)
       //
       // The informal arguments above can be tightened into a formal
       // correctness proof and it behooves us to write up such a proof,
       // or to use model checking to prove that there are no lingering
       // concerns.
       //
       // Clearly because of Case 3b one cannot bound the time for
       // which a card will retain what we have called a "stale" value.
       // However, one can obtain a Loose upper bound on the redundant
       // work as a result of such stale values. Note first that any
       // time a stale card lies in the occupied part of the space at
       // the start of the collection, it is scanned by younger refs
       // code and we can define a rank function on card values that
       // declines when this is so. Note also that when a card does not
       // lie in the occupied part of the space at the beginning of a
       // young collection, its rank can either decline or stay unchanged.
       // In this case, no extra work is done in terms of redundant
       // younger refs scanning of that card.
       // Then, the case analysis above reveals that, in the worst case,
       // any such stale card will be scanned unnecessarily at most twice.
       //
       // It is nonethelss advisable to try and get rid of some of this
       // redundant work in a subsequent (low priority) re-design of
       // the card-scanning code, if only to simplify the underlying
       // state machine analysis/proof. ysr 1/28/2002. XXX
