该文JVM内存分配担保机制在后面部分讲到在Server模式下,当设置为3M的时候,偶尔会发生Full GC。注意:是“偶尔”。

另外我们看到日志片段:

[Full GC (Ergonomics) [PSYoungGen: 544K->0K(9216K)] [ParOldGen: 6144K->6627K(10240K)] 6688K->6627K(19456K), [Metaspace: 3286K->3286K(1056768K)], 0.0063048 secs] [Times: user=0.01 sys=0.00, real=0.01 secs]

发现Full GC后面还有一个单词叫Ergonomics,Full GC后面的括号就是本次GC所产生的原因。

上文中我们说到:

发现当我们使用Server模式下的ParallelGC收集器组合(Parallel Scavenge+Serial Old的组合)下,担保机制的实现和之前的Client模式下(SerialGC收集器组合)有所变化。在GC前还会进行一次判断,如果要分配的内存>=Eden区大小的一半,那么会直接把要分配的内存放入老年代中。否则才会进入担保机制。

也就是使用了Parallel Scavenge+Serial Old的组合。

我们就去看看Parallel Scavenge回收策略的源码吧!

以下是片段:

 

if (UseParallelOldGC) {
  full_gc_done = PSParallelCompact::invoke_no_policy(clear_all_softrefs);
} else {
  full_gc_done = PSMarkSweep::invoke_no_policy(clear_all_softrefs);
}

核心代码:

 

if (UseParallelOldGC) {
  full_gc_done = PSParallelCompact::invoke_no_policy(clear_all_softrefs);
} else {
  full_gc_done = PSMarkSweep::invoke_no_policy(clear_all_softrefs);
}

注:基本内容是如果需要full gc那么就进入if块,然后执行full gc逻辑。另外这里的_adaptive_size_policy 常量就是对应的Ergonomics:

 

case _adaptive_size_policy:
      return "Ergonomics";

那么full gc的条件是什么呢?也就是什么情况导致发生了本次full gc呢?

我们继续看看need_full_gc这个常量吧:

full gc条件:

 

const bool need_full_gc = !scavenge_done ||
  policy->should_full_GC(heap->old_gen()->free_in_bytes());

should_ful_GC方法:

 

// If the remaining free space in the old generation is less that
// that expected to be needed by the next collection, do a full
// collection now.
bool PSAdaptiveSizePolicy::should_full_GC(size_t old_free_in_bytes) {
// A similar test is done in the scavenge's should_attempt_scavenge().  If

// this is changed, decide if that test should also be changed.

bool result = padded_average_promoted_in_bytes() > (float) old_free_in_bytes;

//如果晋升到老年代的平均大小大于老年代的剩余大小,则认为要进行一次full gc
log_trace(gc, ergo)(

"%s after scavenge average_promoted "

SIZE_FORMAT " padded_average_promoted "

SIZE_FORMAT " free in old gen " SIZE_FORMAT,

result ? "Full" : "No full",

(size_t) average_promoted_in_bytes(),

(size_t) padded_average_promoted_in_bytes(),

old_free_in_bytes);

return result;

}

通过查看should_full_GC方法,我们发现了这行代码:

 

bool result = padded_average_promoted_in_bytes() > (float) old_free_in_bytes;

通过该行代码,我们知道,如果晋升到老生代的平均大小大于老生代的剩余大小,则会返回true,认为需要一次full gc。

通过注释也可以知道:

 

If the remaining free space in the old generation is less than
that expected to be needed by the next collection, do a full
collection now.
如果老生代的剩余空间少于下一次收集所需的剩余空间,那么现在就做一个完整的收集。

如果 padded_average_promoted_in_bytes()大于老生代剩余空间,那么就返回true,表示要触发一次fullgc。

那么padded_average_promoted_in_bytes()这个平均大小是怎么算出来的呢?我们去看看:

 

// Padded average in bytes
size_t padded_average_promoted_in_bytes() const {
  return (size_t)_avg_promoted->padded_average();
}
float padded_average() const         { return _padded_avg; }
// A weighted average that includes a deviation from the average,
// some multiple of which is added to the average.
//
// This serves as our best estimate of an upper bound on a future
// unknown.
class AdaptivePaddedAverage : public AdaptiveWeightedAverage {
 private:
  float          _padded_avg;     // The last computed padded average
  float          _deviation;      // Running deviation from the average
  unsigned       _padding;        // A multiple which, added to the average,
                                  // gives us an upper bound guess.

 protected:
  void set_padded_average(float avg)  { _padded_avg = avg;  }
  void set_deviation(float dev)       { _deviation  = dev;  }

 public:
  AdaptivePaddedAverage() :
    AdaptiveWeightedAverage(0),
    _padded_avg(0.0), _deviation(0.0), _padding(0) {}

  AdaptivePaddedAverage(unsigned weight, unsigned padding) :
    AdaptiveWeightedAverage(weight),
    _padded_avg(0.0), _deviation(0.0), _padding(padding) {}

  // Placement support
  void* operator new(size_t ignored, void* p) throw() { return p; }
  // Allocator
  void* operator new(size_t size) throw() { return CHeapObj<mtGC>::operator new(size); }

  // Accessor
  float padded_average() const         { return _padded_avg; }
  float deviation()      const         { return _deviation;  }
  unsigned padding()     const         { return _padding;    }

  void clear() {
    AdaptiveWeightedAverage::clear();
    _padded_avg = 0;
    _deviation = 0;
  }

  // Override
  void  sample(float new_sample);

  // Printing
  void print_on(outputStream* st) const;
  void print() const;
};

可以从代码和注释中我们发现:

加权平均值包括与平均值的偏差,其平均值加上其中的一些倍数。 这是对未来未知数的上限的最佳估计。

也就是通过这样的算法,虚拟机估算出下次分配可能会发生无法分配的问题,于是提前预测到可能的问题,提前发生一次full gc

于是这次full gc就发生了!

那么你也许有疑问说[Full GC (Ergonomics) 的Ergonomics究竟是个什么东东?

Ergonomics翻译成中文,一般都是“人体工程学”。在JVM中的垃圾收集器中的Ergonomics就是负责自动的调解gc暂停时间和吞吐量之间的平衡,然后你的虚拟机性能更好的一种做法。

对于注重吞吐量的收集器来说,在某个generation被过渡使用之前,GC ergonomics就会启动一次GC。

正如我们前面提到的,发生本次full gc正是在使用Parallel Scavenge收集器的情况下发生的。

而Parallel Scavenge正是一款注重吞吐量的收集器:

Parallel Scavenge的目标是达到一个可控的吞吐量,吞吐量=程序运行时间/(程序运行时间+GC时间),如程序运行了99s,GC耗时1s,吞吐量=99/(99+1)=99%。Parallel Scavenge提供了两个参数用以精确控制吞吐量,分别是用以控制最大GC停顿时间的-XX:MaxGCPauseMillis及直接控制吞吐量的参数-XX:GCTimeRatio。

好,就到这里吧。

总之,以后遇到Full GC,不一定只有Allocation Failure,还有更多,比如本文中的“Ergonomics”。
