Hi,
I'm proposing a patch for the following issue:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6857566
The patch is basically the same as developed and tested as part of the
following discussion 3 months ago:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2013-October/021547.html
It's just modified to be applied on top of JDK9 which already changed
since then. Here's the webrev:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~plevart/jdk9-dev/DirectBufferAlloc/webrev.01/
As Alan Bateman pointed out: "A related piece of work is the FileChannel
map implementation where there is a gc + retry if mmap fails. This could
be changed to have a similar back-off/retry."
I'm planning to examine this code and come up with a similar patch for
mapped memory.
Regards, Peter
