Hi all,
Please review this patch to make the ZVerifyViews mapping and unmapping
precise.
https://cr.openjdk.java.net/~stefank/8232604/webrev.01/
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8232604
Today, when the ZVerifyViews flag is turned on, we unmap all bad views.
The intention is to catch stray-pointer bugs.
The current implementation takes a short-cut and unmap all memory en
masse. This works for Linux, but not on Windows, where we must be
precise in what we unmap.
There are three places where allocated pages are registered today:
- In the page table - actively used
- In the page cache - free pages waiting to be used
- In-flight from the alloc queue
The proposed patch registers all satisfied alloc requests, lets the
requesting threads deregister the satisfied request when the page is
received, and makes sure that the GC visits all in-flight satisfied
alloc requests when it performs the ZVerifyViews flip.
Thanks,
StefanK
