Notificações sobre a coleta de lixo

Há situações em que uma coleta de lixo completa (ou seja, uma coleta de geração 2) pelo common language runtime pode afetar negativamente o desempenho. Isso pode ser um problema especialmente com servidores que processam grandes volumes de solicitações; nesse caso, uma longa coleta de lixo pode causar um tempo limite de solicitação. Para evitar que uma coleta completa ocorra durante um período crítico, você pode ser notificado de que uma coleta de lixo completa está se aproximando e tomar medidas para redirecionar a carga de trabalho para outra instância do servidor. Você também pode induzir uma coleta por conta própria, desde que a instância atual do servidor não precise processar solicitações.

O método RegisterForFullGCNotification registra uma notificação para ser gerado quando o runtime detectar que uma coleta de lixo completa está se aproximando. Essa notificação é composta por duas partes: quando a coleta de lixo completa está se aproximando e quando a coleta de lixo completa for concluída.

Aviso

Quando o elemento de configuração <gcConcurrent> estiver habilitado, WaitForFullGCComplete poderá retornar NotApplicable GCNotificationStatus se o GC completo tiver sido feito como GC em segundo plano.

Para determinar quando uma notificação foi gerada, use os métodos WaitForFullGCApproach e WaitForFullGCComplete. Normalmente, você pode usar esses métodos em um loop while para obter continuamente uma enumeração GCNotificationStatus que mostra o status da notificação. Se esse valor for Succeeded, você pode fazer o seguinte:

  • Em resposta a uma notificação obtida com o método WaitForFullGCApproach, você pode redirecionar a carga de trabalho e, possivelmente, induzir uma coleção por conta própria.

  • Em resposta a uma notificação obtida com o método WaitForFullGCComplete, você pode tornar a instância atual do servidor disponível para processar solicitações novamente. Você também pode coletar informações. Por exemplo, você pode usar o método CollectionCount para registrar o número de coleções.

Os métodos WaitForFullGCApproach e WaitForFullGCComplete são projetados para trabalhar juntos. Usar um sem o outro pode produzir resultados indeterminados.

Coleta de lixo completa

O runtime resultará em uma coleta de lixo completa quando qualquer um dos cenários a seguir for verdadeiro:

  • Foi promovida memória suficiente para a geração 2 para gerar a próxima coleta de geração 2.

  • Foi promovida memória suficiente para o heap de objeto grande para gerar a próxima coleta de geração 2.

  • Outros fatores escalam uma coleta de geração 1 para uma coleta de geração 2.

Os limites que você especificar no método RegisterForFullGCNotification serão aplicados aos primeiros dois cenários. No entanto, no primeiro cenário, você nem sempre receberá a notificação no momento proporcional aos valores de limite que você especificar por dois motivos:

  • O runtime não verifica todas as alocações de objeto pequeno (por motivos de desempenho).

  • Somente as coletas da geração 1 promovem a memória na geração 2.

O terceiro cenário também contribui para a incerteza de quando você receberá a notificação. Embora não seja uma garantia, essa é uma maneira útil de reduzir os efeitos de uma coleta de lixo completa inoportuna ao redirecionar as solicitações durante esse período ou você mesmo induzir a coleta para quando ela puder ser melhor hospedada.

Parâmetros de limite de notificação

O método RegisterForFullGCNotification tem dois parâmetros para especificar os valores de limite do heap de objeto grande e dos objetos de geração 2. Quando esses valores forem atendidos, uma notificação de coleta de lixo deverá ser gerada. A tabela a seguir descreve esses parâmetros.

Parâmetro Descrição
maxGenerationThreshold Um número entre 1 e 99 que especifica quando a notificação deve ser gerada com base nos objetos promovidos na geração 2.
largeObjectHeapThreshold Um número entre 1 e 99 que especifica quando a notificação deve ser gerada com base nos objetos alocados no heap de objetos grandes.

Se você especificar um valor muito alto, a probabilidade de receber uma notificação será muito elevada. No entanto, pode demorar muito até que o runtime gere uma coleta. Se você mesmo induzir uma coleta, poderá recuperar mais objetos que seriam recuperados se o runtime gerasse a coleta.

Se você especificar um valor muito baixo, o runtime poderá gerar a coleta antes de você ter tido tempo suficiente para ser notificado.

Exemplo

Descrição

No exemplo a seguir, um grupo de serviço de servidores controla as solicitações da Web recebidas. Para simular a carga de trabalho de processamento de solicitações, matrizes de bytes são adicionadas a uma coleta List<T>. Cada servidor registra uma notificação de coleta de lixo e, em seguida, inicia um thread no método de usuário WaitForFullGCProc para monitorar continuamente a enumeração GCNotificationStatus que é retornada pelos métodos WaitForFullGCApproach e WaitForFullGCComplete.

Os métodos WaitForFullGCApproach e WaitForFullGCComplete chamam seus respectivos métodos de usuário de manipulação de eventos quando uma notificação é gerada:

  • OnFullGCApproachNotify

    Este método chama o método de usuário RedirectRequests que instrui o servidor de enfileiramento de solicitações a suspender o envio de solicitações ao servidor. Isso é simulado definindo a variável de nível de classe bAllocate como false para que nenhum outro objeto seja alocado.

    Em seguida, o método de usuário FinishExistingRequests é chamado para concluir o processamento das solicitações pendentes do servidor. Isso é simulado desmarcando a coleta List<T>.

    Por fim, como a carga de trabalho é leve, uma coleta de lixo é induzida.

  • OnFullGCCompleteNotify

    Este método chama o método de usuário AcceptRequests para retomar a aceitar de solicitações já que o servidor não está mais suscetível à coleta de lixo completa. Essa ação é simulada através da definição da variável bAllocate como true para que objetos possam continuar sendo adicionados à coleta List<T>.

O código a seguir contém o método Main do exemplo.
