Continuous CMS Collections Followed By Concurrent Mode Failure

[Kirk Pepperdine]

Hi Ramki,

No need for flame proof suites… The (promotion failed) has been separated from the ParNew. I can easily adjust for this change… it’s just one more in a line of 100s of trivial changes that don’t add value to the GC logs… <sighs> ;-)

There is only 1 perm record in the file and although it shows that perm is grossly over-sized (ok, there is only one record ;-)) all of the recovery comes from the CMF which suggests perm is involved. All of the other CMS cycles are clearly due to tenured never being below the initiating occupancy fraction. Even without a young collection the initial marks are constantly reporting an occupancy of >1920xxxK of 1929xxxK. Oddly enough the ParNew’s only once promoted enough to trip the concurrent mode failure and oddly enough each of the CMS cycles (without the intervening ParNew) seem to recover about 1xxK bytes per cycle.
