There are a few things to be aware of. // Firstly, the memoryLimit does not easily compare to the heap goal: the former // is total mapped memory by the runtime that hasn't been released, while the latter is // only heap object memory. Intuitively, the way we convert from one to the other is to // subtract everything from memoryLimit that both contributes to the memory limit (so, // ignore scavenged memory) and doesn't contain heap objects. This isn't quite what // lines up with reality, but it's a good starting point. // // In practice this computation looks like the following: // // goal := memoryLimit - ((mappedReady - heapFree - heapAlloc) + max(mappedReady - memoryLimit, 0)) // ^1 ^2 // goal -= goal / 100 * memoryLimitHeapGoalHeadroomPercent // ^3 // // Let's break this down. // // The first term (marker 1) is everything that contributes to the memory limit and isn't // or couldn't become heap objects. It represents, broadly speaking, non-heap overheads. // One oddity you may have noticed is that we also subtract out heapFree, i.e. unscavenged // memory that may contain heap objects in the future. // // Let's take a step back. In an ideal world, this term would look something like just // the heap goal. That is, we "reserve" enough space for the heap to grow to the heap // goal, and subtract out everything else. This is of course impossible; the definition // is circular! However, this impossible definition contains a key insight: the amount // we're *going* to use matters just as much as whatever we're currently using. // // Consider if the heap shrinks to 1/10th its size, leaving behind lots of free and // unscavenged memory. mappedReady - heapAlloc will be quite large, because of that free // and unscavenged memory, pushing the goal down significantly. // // heapFree is also safe to exclude from the memory limit because in the steady-state, it's // just a pool of memory for future heap allocations, and making new allocations from heapFree // memory doesn't increase overall memory use. In transient states, the scavenger and the // allocator actively manage the pool of heapFree memory to maintain the memory limit. // // The second term (marker 2) is the amount of memory we've exceeded the limit by, and is // intended to help recover from such a situation. By pushing the heap goal down, we also // push the trigger down, triggering and finishing a GC sooner in order to make room for // other memory sources. Note that since we're effectively reducing the heap goal by X bytes, // we're actually giving more than X bytes of headroom back, because the heap goal is in // terms of heap objects, but it takes more than X bytes (e.g. due to fragmentation) to store // X bytes worth of objects. // // The final adjustment (marker 3) reduces the maximum possible memory limit heap goal by // memoryLimitHeapGoalPercent. As the name implies, this is to provide additional headroom in // the face of pacing inaccuracies, and also to leave a buffer of unscavenged memory so the // allocator isn't constantly scavenging. The reduction amount also has a fixed minimum // (memoryLimitMinHeapGoalHeadroom, not pictured) because the aforementioned pacing inaccuracies // disproportionately affect small heaps: as heaps get smaller, the pacer's inputs get fuzzier. // Shorter GC cycles and less GC work means noisy external factors like the OS scheduler have a // greater impact. memoryLimit := uint64(c.memoryLimit.Load()) // Compute term 1. nonHeapMemory := mappedReady - heapFree - heapAlloc // Compute term 2. var overage uint64 if mappedReady > memoryLimit { overage = mappedReady - memoryLimit } if nonHeapMemory+overage >= memoryLimit { // We're at a point where non-heap memory exceeds the memory limit on its own. // There's honestly not much we can do here but just trigger GCs continuously // and let the CPU limiter reign that in.
