Description Basuke Suzuki 2019-11-12 17:11:18 PST
We were observing that freeableMemory keeped growing. Then we found that the chunk metadataSize was not counted.

This is first part of the fix of the bug. I couldn't figure out that yet, but at least this must be right fix.

We did an internal research to log out freeable memory and footprint on each scavenge. This issue was found on that process.

I think freeable memory is tracking the size of memory usable for allocation. So I don't think we need to add/sub Chunk's metadata size. Is my understanding correct?

This is the former implementation of feeableMemory. So you are right. Then here is the issue:

https://github.com/WebKit/webkit/blob/master/Source/bmalloc/bmalloc/Heap.cpp#L286

When allocating a chunk in allocateSmallChunk(), chunkSize is added to freeableMemory. It should add only sizes of free pages.

Right. This looks wrong, nice.
