Michael, Peter,

Thanks for detailed analysis! It was a hard one to track down :-)

Unfortunately, I don't see how the proposed change fixes the problem.

The failure occurs during SpeciesData instantiation (BMH$SpeciesData.<init>). It means updateCache has not yet been called from getForClass:

static SpeciesData getForClass(String types, Class<? extends BoundMethodHandle> clazz) {
    return updateCache(types, new SpeciesData(types, clazz));
}

With your changes, updateCache is called only after successful loading of a class. So, the cache isn't updated if there was an error during previous attempt.

The real problem is more severe IMO. The loaded class is useless when its initialization finishes abruptly, so there's no way to instantiate it or reload. Right now it is manifested as a duplicate class definition attempt, but if you avoid repeated class loading it will just fail slightly later - the system is already broken and there's no way to recover.

I see the following ways to proceed:
(1) delay class initialization (fill in Species_*.SPECIES_DATA field afterwards) and attempt to finish initialization on subsequent requests, but skipping class loading step;

(2) use VM anonymous classes (see JDK-8078602 [1]) and just retry Species creation;

(3) give up on that particular Species shape and throw an error whenever it is requested (how it works right now, but with more meaningful error message).

I remember I experimented with (2), but even after JDK-8078629 [2] there was still measurable peak performance regression on Octane/Nashorn.

(1) looks more favorable and robust, but right now there shouldn't be much difference - there's no support in VM to unload MH.linkTo* adapters, so the failure will repeatedly occur once the code cache is full.

My conclusion is that it is mostly a test problem, but java.lang.invoke framework should clearly communicate the reason why it fails. Since the test is aware about code cache overflow problems, it looks preferable to go with (1) or (3) for now. VM should throw VirtualMachineError on repeated attempts to instantiate SPECIES_DATA and the test already filters them out.

Best regards,
Vladimir Ivanov

Thanks to Peter Levart, who has contributed the actual code to fix the issue.

The background of this is as follows. Bug 8131129 is an intermittent failure in 
a multi-threaded test for LambdaForm caching. The failure was not reproducible 
but used to occur on various platforms every now and then. I was able to dig up 
some stack traces that reveal the real cause in internal test logs. These 
traces finally confirmed a suspicion that both Peter and I had had but could, 
for lack of complete failure information, not pin down as the cause of the 
issue. (Most traces from failures of the test were only partial, as the test 
harness is selective about traces it logs.)

At the heart of the problem is an overflowing code cache for adapters in the 
VM. The test, dynamically generating considerable amounts of LambdaForm and 
BoundMethodHandle species classes, would eventually trigger this overflow. The 
place at which the problem would surface is this, in 
BoundMethodHandle.Factory.generateConcreteBMHClass():

Class<? extends BoundMethodHandle> bmhClass =
     //UNSAFE.defineAnonymousClass(BoundMethodHandle.class, classFile, 
null).asSubclass(BoundMethodHandle.class);
     UNSAFE.defineClass(className, classFile, 0, classFile.length,
                        BoundMethodHandle.class.getClassLoader(), null)
         .asSubclass(BoundMethodHandle.class);
UNSAFE.ensureClassInitialized(bmhClass);

The test would generate a BMH species with a given type signature via 
defineClass and immediately thereafter force initialisation of that class, in 
the course of which a SpeciesData instance is supposed to be created and 
entered in the BMH species cache. In case the VM's adapter code cache 
overflowed during this operation, the BMH species' class initialiser would not 
finish its execution properly, leading to a stale placeholder entry left behind 
in the cache. The presence of this very placeholder would trick the next 
request for a BMH species with the same type signature into believing the class 
needed to be defined, leading to the observed failure.

An exemplary stack trace is appended below.

Both Peter and I had come up with solutions, but I think Peter's is better as 
it gets rid of the somewhat intricate and semi-hidden cache registration call 
made from generated code. With Peter's fix, it's all visible in library code 
now.

Thanks,

Michael
