Eric, Mandy

Sorry that I looping on very late step. It is not a review just suggestion. We have whitebox API in Hotspot which includes fullGC() method. It could be used to reliably provoke full GC. See example in http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/hotspot/file/c9f439732b18/test/runtime/interned/SanityTest.java

Should such approach works for you?

It’s not necessary. System.gc is implemented as a full GC for all of our GC implementations. I don’t think there is a problem in relying on that fact.


Also please note that your new variant of test fails if any of GC is set explicitly. It is incompatible with GC setting. We set GC's and GC-related options during Promotion/Nightly/PIT in Hotspot/SVC. For us is better if test just works
with any GC set externally.

This is broken (as has been discussed many times). Tests *need* to be able to provide their own flags without someone overriding them and still expecting the test to work.

I agree that this is not good however it is how all works now. There are several proposals about jtreg improvement but they are not implemented yet.

Do you need to run it with all GC each time?

Hi Mandy,

Yes, I have tested and all settings are passed, as you mentioned the test hangs with -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent and default heap size as no GC happens on Old Gen. That is why to add -Xmx2m and big object to make sure GC happens.

I didn't realized the -Xconcgc is same as -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC, i have updated the webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ewang/JDK-7067973/webrev.00/ <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Eewang/JDK-7067973/webrev.00/>

Thanks,

Hi Eric,

I'll defer this to the serviceability team to sponsor it and also get one more review.

I don't think you need all 7 @runs. -Xconcgc is equivalent to setting -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC. For G1 and CMS, you should use -XX:+ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent so that System.gc will force a GC in foreground that you can count the GC reliably. The test wants to get notified for each System.gc and if there is any GC caused by allocation failure, the test would fail due to the unexpected GC count. It seems that you may run into this issue setting -Xmx2m.

Have you got the test passed in all settings? I'm seeing that the test hangs with -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent without -Xmx2m. Looks like there is no GC in the old gen - I'm not familiar with G1 if it allocates the big object in the old gen. Jarolsav - can you help Eric diagnose this issue? I recalled you ran into something like that before - maybe Staffan?

thanks
Mandy

Hi Mandy,

1. for L34-40, executing tests with 7 settings is trying to cover more cases (normal cases and special cases), especially last 3 settings, as found that the test hung if using vm option "-XX:+ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent" with one of 3 options -XX:+UseG1GC, -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC or -Xconcgc

2. for L61, that is right, the test has been updated. please review.

Hi Mandy & All,

Sorry for late!
The webrev below is just finished based on the comments from peers, please help to review. http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ewang/JDK-7067973/webrev.00/ <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Eewang/JDK-7067973/webrev.00/>


Thanks for the patch that looks okay.  Some comments:

L34-40: can you explain why you want to run all 7 settings? I would expect one for each collector. L61: I think the static checker variable is meant to be a local variable (and looks like "pools" and "managers" don't need to be static variable).

Mandy

Thanks,

Hi Everyone,

I'm working on the bug https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-7067973.

It is a test bug as the test doesn't guarantee memory allocated from the Old Gen, if the used memory is zero and doesn't cross the threshold, no notification is sent, so both the main thread and Checker thread are blocked to wait for the GC notification.

so the suggested fix is similar as the fix ResetPeakMemoryUsage.java <http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/a0896634ab46> to create big object to make sure the old gen usage crosses the threshold and run test with different GC vmoptions.

What are you looking for specifically? I have provided the above information. I need to see the webrev to provide further feedback.

Mandy
