This seems like a related but slightly different case than fixed in JDK-8308766

We see a crash with SIGFPE at ThreadLocalAllocBuffer::initial_desired_size()

It is reproducible only on a specific set of machines and is not visible anywhere else with the same application. Not sure what is necessary to reproduce it elsewhere.


One possible candidate for a SIGFPE in the code is

 init_sz = (Universe::heap()->tlab_capacity(thread()) / HeapWordSize) /
                      (nof_threads * target_refills());

at https://github.com/openjdk/jdk17u/blob/jdk-17.0.10-ga/src/hotspot/share/gc/shared/threadLocalAllocBuffer.cpp#L280

HeapWordSize seems to be a constant, but maybe either nof_threads or target_refills() can be zero in some cases?

Potential workarounds:
* Disable TLAB with -XX:-UseTLAB - may have large performance impact
* Configure an initial"TLABSize" via JVM parameters -XX:TLABSize=... to try to avoid code-branch which crashes (https://github.com/openjdk/jdk17u/blob/jdk-17.0.10-ga/src/hotspot/share/gc/shared/threadLocalAllocBuffer.cpp#L273) - e.g. -XX:TLABSize=2k (must be between 1k and 512k), seems the JDK will only use this as "initial" size and resize properly afterwards, see https://answers.ycrash.io/question/what-is-jvm-startup-parameter--xxtlabsize?q=833

"chatty" logging for tlab-size can be enabled via -Xlog:tlab*=debug,tlab*=trace:file=gc.log:time:filecount=7,filesize=8M (edited)
