33 class G1CollectedHeap;
35 // This file contains the three classes that represent the memory
36 // pools of the G1 spaces: G1EdenPool, G1SurvivorPool, and
37 // G1OldGenPool. In G1, unlike our other GCs, we do not have a
38 // physical space for each of those spaces. Instead, we allocate
39 // regions for all three spaces out of a single pool of regions (that
40 // pool basically covers the entire heap). As a result, the eden,
41 // survivor, and old gen are considered logical spaces in G1, as each
42 // is a set of non-contiguous regions. This is also reflected in the
43 // way we map them to memory pools here. The easiest way to have done
44 // this would have been to map the entire G1 heap to a single memory
45 // pool. However, it's helpful to show how large the eden and survivor
46 // get, as this does affect the performance and behavior of G1. Which
47 // is why we introduce the three memory pools implemented here.
48 //
49 // The above approach inroduces a couple of challenging issues in the
50 // implementation of the three memory pools:
51 //
52 // 1) The used space calculation for a pool is not necessarily
53 // independent of the others. We can easily get from G1 the overall
54 // used space in the entire heap, the number of regions in the young
55 // generation (includes both eden and survivors), and the number of
56 // survivor regions. So, from that we calculate:
57 //
58 // survivor_used = survivor_num * region_size
59 // eden_used = young_region_num * region_size - survivor_used
60 // old_gen_used = overall_used - eden_used - survivor_used
61 //
62 // Note that survivor_used and eden_used are upper bounds. To get the
63 // actual value we would have to iterate over the regions and add up
64 // ->used(). But that'd be expensive. So, we'll accept some lack of
65 // accuracy for those two. But, we have to be careful when calculating
66 // old_gen_used, in case we subtract from overall_used more then the
67 // actual number and our result goes negative.
68 //
69 // 2) Calculating the used space is straightforward, as described
70 // above. However, how do we calculate the committed space, given that
71 // we allocate space for the eden, survivor, and old gen out of the
72 // same pool of regions? One way to do this is to use the used value
73 // as also the committed value for the eden and survivor spaces and
74 // then calculate the old gen committed space as follows:
75 //
76 // old_gen_committed = overall_committed - eden_committed - survivor_committed
77 //
78 // Maybe a better way to do that would be to calculate used for eden
79 // and survivor as a sum of ->used() over their regions and then
80 // calculate committed as region_num * region_size (i.e., what we use
81 // to calculate the used space now). This is something to consider
82 // in the future.
83 //
84 // 3) Another decision that is again not straightforward is what is
85 // the max size that each memory pool can grow to. One way to do this
86 // would be to use the committed size for the max for the eden and
87 // survivors and calculate the old gen max as follows (basically, it's
88 // a similar pattern to what we use for the committed space, as
89 // described above):
90 //
91 // old_gen_max = overall_max - eden_max - survivor_max
92 //
93 // Unfortunately, the above makes the max of each pool fluctuate over
94 // time and, even though this is allowed according to the spec, it
95 // broke several assumptions in the M&M framework (there were cases
96 // where used would reach a value greater than max). So, for max we
97 // use -1, which means "undefined" according to the spec.
98 //
99 // 4) Now, there is a very subtle issue with all the above. The
100 // framework will call get_memory_usage() on the three pools
101 // asynchronously. As a result, each call might get a different value
102 // for, say, survivor_num which will yield inconsistent values for
103 // eden_used, survivor_used, and old_gen_used (as survivor_num is used
104 // in the calculation of all three). This would normally be
105 // ok. However, it's possible that this might cause the sum of
106 // eden_used, survivor_used, and old_gen_used to go over the max heap
107 // size and this seems to sometimes cause JConsole (and maybe other
108 // clients) to get confused. There's not a really an easy / clean
109 // solution to this problem, due to the asynchrounous nature of the
110 // framework.
113 // This class is shared by the three G1 memory pool classes
114 // (G1EdenPool, G1SurvivorPool, G1OldGenPool). Given that the way we
115 // calculate used / committed bytes for these three pools is related
116 // (see comment above), we put the calculations in this class so that
117 // we can easily share them among the subclasses.
