definition of a "TLAB refill"?

[Ron Reynolds]

that's what i suspected it was but wasn't sure, even after reading thru one
of the best docs i could find on TLABs - a 2006 blog posting (obviously
pre-G1) at https://blogs.oracle.com/jonthecollector/the-real-thing
i think it would be a great addition to
http://openjdk.java.net/groups/hotspot/docs/HotSpotGlossary.html
the rest of the best cover of TLABs i've found is "Java Perf" by Oaks and
"Java Perf Companion" by Hunt et al.
the rest of the online docs i've hunted thru (for both G1 in general and
TLAB in particular) are all over the place; anywhere where someone is
explaining the output of -XX:+PrintTLAB would make sense to me.
