Hi all,
Please review this patch to increase the heap size for tests that sets a
small heap size.
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~stefank/8204168/webrev.01
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8204168
This change is needed to test ZGC with these tests. ZGC doesn't use
compressed oops and has an allocation memory reserve for the GC thread,
and hence have a higher smallest heap size compared to other GCs in the
code base.
There are some alternatives to this patch that we could consider (but I
prefer the suggested patch):
1) Disable these tests when running with ZGC
2) Split all these tests into two copies, one copy for ZGC and another
for the other GCs.
I've been running all of these changes through tier{1,2,3} and most of
them has been run in tier{4,5,6}.
Thanks,
StefanK
