> Hi all,

> I have implemented SoftMaxHeapSize for G1 as attached. It is completely reworked compared to [previous PR](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/20783), and excludes code for `CurrentMaxHeapSize`. I believe I have addressed all direct concerns from [previous email thread](https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/hotspot-gc-dev/2024-November/050214.html), such as:
>
> - does not respect `MinHeapSize`;
> - being too "blunt" and does not respect other G1 heuristics and flags for resizing, such as `MinHeapFreeRatio`, `MaxHeapFreeRatio`;
> - does not affect heuristcs to trigger a concurrent cycle;
>
> [This recent thread](https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/hotspot-gc-dev/2025-March/051619.html) also has some context.
