Hi all,
Can I have reviews for this tiny patch fixes wrong heap mapper selection
with UseLargePages on G1?
When we enable UseLargePages but failed allocating with large page, G1
is not correctly reflecting it.
This situation only happens when G1HeapRegionSize is less than or equal
to large page size.
e.g. G1HeapRegionsSize=1MB, default page size=4KB, large page size=2MB.
G1 selects G1RegionsSmallerThanCommitSizeMapper (G1HeapRegionSize <
large page size, at G1RegionToSpaceMapper::create_mapper()) but actually
we are using default page(failed allocating with large page) so
G1RegionsLargerThanCommitSizeMapper should be selected. Eventually G1
commits memory with not optimal way(it works) and pages will not touched
properly when AlwaysPreTouch option is enabled.
