Safepoint polling in monitor deflation can cause massive logs

XMLWordPrintable

    • b10

        If ObjectSynchronizer::chk_in_use_entry is called while monitor deflation is safepoint polled/blocked, we can have deflated monitors on the in-use list and we can get a huge number of lines stating:

        [10.570s][debug][monitorinflation] WARNING: monitor=0x00007fa1004f8480: in-use monitor is deflated.

        This comes from the following code:
        void ObjectSynchronizer::chk_in_use_entry(ObjectMonitor* n, outputStream* out,
                                                  int* error_cnt_p) {
          if (n->owner_is_DEFLATER_MARKER()) {
            // This should not happen, but if it does, it is not fatal.
            out->print_cr("WARNING: monitor=" INTPTR_FORMAT ": in-use monitor is "
                          "deflated.", p2i(n));
            return;
          }

        There are tentative plans to rewrite the monitor deflation to unlink deflated monitors from the in-use list *before* the safepoint polls, but I'd like to suggest that we make an interim patch that deletes this warning.
