Hi,
Please review this fix for 8135322:
ConstantPool::release_C_heap_structures not run in some circumstances.
Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8135322
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~aeriksso/8135322/webrev.00
The way this occurs is:
1. A ConstantPool, /merge_cp/, without a corresponding InstanceKlass is
created during class redefinition.
2. /Merge_cp/ is added to ClassLoaderData::_deallocate_list, but is not
cleaned up by ClassLoaderDataGraph::do_unloading because the holding
ClassLoaderData is already dead.
3. ClassLoaderData::~ClassLoaderData is called, which usually runs
InstanceKlass::release_C_heap_structures, which in turn will call
ConstantPool::release_C_heap_structures. But since there is no
corresponding InstanceKlass for /merge_cp/ it will never release its
C heap structures.
4. For JDK 8 this means we leak a Monitor (ConstantPool::_lock). For
JDK 9 the Monitor has been removed, but we will miss doing a call to
ConstantPool::unreference_symbols, which is probably not good either.
This change adds a call to free everything in the _deallocate_list first
thing in ClassLoaderData::~ClassLoaderData.
Note:
Running deallocate_contents() on everything in the list might be doing
unnecessary work:
What we really would like to do is run release_C_heap_structures() on
constant pools in the list that do not have a corresponding
InstanceKlass. Not sure it's worth the effort to do the filtering, since
I believe the _deallocate_list is usually not that long.
Note 2:
After fixing in JDK 9 I'll backport this to JDK 8, where it has a more
immediately visible effect.
Regards,
Andreas
