The RefenceKeyMap has twice as many entries as it should have.

The API relies on the ReferenceQueue; stale ref queue to clean up stale entries. The queue is empty but somehow there are still stale entries.

    public void removeStaleReferences() {
        while (true) {
            Object key = stale.poll();
            if (key == null) {
                break;
            }
            map.remove(key);
        }
    }

[tajila]

In a successful run 52 items must be in the refQueue (stale)

[tajila]

The test relies on

System.gc();
        sleep();

To force a GC and add objects to refqueues, which is not guaranteed on J9.

[tajila]

@dmitripivkine are objects added to associated reference queues on every GC?

[dmitripivkine]

yes, but Local GC might address references from Nursery only.

[tajila]

Okay so we would need

System.gc();
System.gc();

to trigger a global GC?

[dmitripivkine]

yes, I think so.

[pshipton]

As this is apparently a test problem (limitation of OpenJ9?) rather than a functional problem, removing the blocker label.

This seems to be a similar problem to https://github.com/eclipse-openj9/openj9/issues/17723

I noticed

> !j9javavm 0x000003FF9801EB20 | grep processReference
    0x16e8: struct J9ThreadMonitor* processReferenceMonitor = !j9threadmonitor 0x000003FF98009CE8
    0x16f0: UDATA processReferenceActive = 0x0000000000000000 (0)

[tajila]

Probably explains why adding more GCs doesnt solve it

[tajila]

@dmitripivkine Actually the vm->processReferenceActive represents the number of references active being processed. It doesnt represent the references pending processing.

I think we need finalizeListManager->getReferenceCount() to understand this situation better

After taking a brief look at static int J9THREAD_PROC FinalizeMainThread(void *javaVM) it seems like we only consume one job at a time. I think we need a way to force the finalizer thread to empty the queue (or a certain amount).

There is runFinalization() implementation expected to run Finalization non-stop until queue is empty: https://github.com/eclipse-openj9/openj9/blob/6256ba4ad8e9ea5087fe1c18093b6f0fa3a16ad6/runtime/gc_base/FinalizerSupport.cpp#L899 Is it kind of service you are looking?

[tajila]

Is it kind of service you are looking?

Yes, it fixed the issue I described above. Ill see if it can be used here, https://github.com/eclipse-openj9/openj9/issues/17723.

[tajila]

If we dont see this issue again in the next couple of days we can close it now that the System.gc() changes are in.

[pshipton]

The System.gc() changes are https://github.com/eclipse-openj9/openj9/pull/18044

[pshipton]

Not seen lately, closing for now.
