Round the size up to one of the small size classes 33 // and look in the corresponding MCache free list. 34 // If the list is not empty, allocate an object from it. 35 // This can all be done without acquiring a lock. 36 // 37 // 2. If the MCache free list is empty, replenish it by 38 // taking a bunch of objects from the MCentral free list. 39 // Moving a bunch amortizes the cost of acquiring the MCentral lock. 40 // 41 // 3. If the MCentral free list is empty, replenish it by 42 // allocating a run of pages from the MHeap and then 43 // chopping that memory into a objects of the given size. 44 // Allocating many objects amortizes the cost of locking 45 // the heap. 46 // 47 // 4. If the MHeap is empty or has no page runs large enough, 48 // allocate a new group of pages (at least 1MB) from the 49 // operating system. Allocating a large run of pages 50 // amortizes the cost of talking to the operating system. 51 // 52 // Freeing a small object proceeds up the same hierarchy: 53 // 54 // 1. Look up the size class for the object and add it to 55 // the MCache free list. 56 // 57 // 2. If the MCache free list is too long or the MCache has 58 // too much memory, return some to the MCentral free lists. 59 // 60 // 3. If all the objects in a given span have returned to 61 // the MCentral list, return that span to the page heap. 62 // 63 // 4. If the heap has too much memory, return some to the 64 // operating system. 65 // 66 // TODO(rsc): Step 4 is not implemented. 67 // 68 // Allocating and freeing a large object uses the page heap 69 // directly, bypassing the MCache and MCentral free lists. 70 // 71 // The small objects on the MCache and MCentral free lists 72 // may or may not be zeroed. They are zeroed if and only if 73 // the second word of the object is zero. A span in the 74 // page heap is zeroed unless s->needzero is set. When a span 75 // is allocated to break into small objects, it is zeroed if needed 76 // and s->needzero is set. There are two main benefits to delaying the 77 // zeroing this way: 78 // 79 // 1. stack frames allocated from the small object lists 80 // or the page heap can avoid zeroing altogether. 81 // 2. the cost of zeroing when reusing a small object is 82 // charged to the mutator, not the garbage collector. 83 // 84 // This C code was written with an eye toward translating to Go 85 // in the future.
