 455       // (a) CMS: Consider the case where a large object L
 456       //     spanning several cards is allocated in the old
 457       //     gen, and has a young gen reference stored in it, dirtying
 458       //     some interior cards. A young collection scans the card,
 459       //     finds a young ref and installs a youngergenP_n value.
 460       //     L then goes dead. Now a CMS collection starts,
 461       //     finds L dead and sweeps it up. Assume that L is
 462       //     abutting _unallocated_blk, so _unallocated_blk is
 463       //     adjusted down to (below) L. Assume further that
 464       //     no young collection intervenes during this CMS cycle.
 465       //     The next young gen cycle will not get to look at this
 466       //     youngergenP_n card since it lies in the unoccupied
 467       //     part of the space.
 468       //     Some young collections later the blocks on this
 469       //     card can be re-allocated either due to direct allocation
 470       //     or due to absorbing promotions. At this time, the
 471       //     before-gc verification will fail the above assert.
 472       // (b) MSC: In this case, an object L with a young reference
 473       //     is on a card that (therefore) holds a youngergen_n value.
 474       //     Suppose also that L lies towards the end of the used
 475       //     the used space before GC. An MSC collection
 476       //     occurs that compacts to such an extent that this
 477       //     card is no longer in the occupied part of the space.
 478       //     Since current code in MSC does not always clear cards
 479       //     in the unused part of old gen, this stale youngergen_n
 480       //     value is left behind and can later be covered by
 481       //     an object when promotion or direct allocation
 482       //     re-allocates that part of the heap.
 483       //
 484       // Fortunately, the presence of such stale card values is
 485       // "only" a minor annoyance in that subsequent young collections
 486       // might needlessly scan such cards, but would still never corrupt
 487       // the heap as a result. However, it's likely not to be a significant
 488       // performance inhibitor in practice. For instance,
 489       // some recent measurements with unoccupied cards eagerly cleared
 490       // out to maintain this invariant, showed next to no
 491       // change in young collection times; of course one can construct
 492       // degenerate examples where the cost can be significant.)
 493       // Note, in particular, that if the "stale" card is modified
 494       // after re-allocation, it would be dirty, not "stale". Thus,
 495       // we can never have a younger ref in such a card and it is
 496       // safe not to scan that card in any collection. [As we see
 497       // below, we do some unnecessary scanning
 498       // in some cases in the current parallel scanning algorithm.]
 499       //
 500       // The main point below is that the parallel card scanning code
 501       // deals correctly with these stale card values. There are two main
 502       // cases to consider where we have a stale "young gen" value and a
 503       // "derivative" case to consider, where we have a stale
 504       // "cur_younger_gen_and_prev_non_clean" value, as will become
 505       // apparent in the case analysis below.
 506       // o Case 1. If the stale value corresponds to a younger_gen_n
 507       //   value other than the cur_younger_gen value then the code
 508       //   treats this as being tantamount to a prev_younger_gen
 509       //   card. This means that the card may be unnecessarily scanned.
 510       //   There are two sub-cases to consider:
 511       //   o Case 1a. Let us say that the card is in the occupied part
 512       //     of the generation at the time the collection begins. In
 513       //     that case the card will be either cleared when it is scanned
 514       //     for young pointers, or will be set to cur_younger_gen as a
 515       //     result of promotion. (We have elided the normal case where
 516       //     the scanning thread and the promoting thread interleave
 517       //     possibly resulting in a transient
 518       //     cur_younger_gen_and_prev_non_clean value before settling
 519       //     to cur_younger_gen. [End Case 1a.]
 520       //   o Case 1b. Consider now the case when the card is in the unoccupied
 521       //     part of the space which becomes occupied because of promotions
 522       //     into it during the current young GC. In this case the card
 523       //     will never be scanned for young references. The current
 524       //     code will set the card value to either
 525       //     cur_younger_gen_and_prev_non_clean or leave
 526       //     it with its stale value -- because the promotions didn't
 527       //     result in any younger refs on that card. Of these two
 528       //     cases, the latter will be covered in Case 1a during
 529       //     a subsequent scan. To deal with the former case, we need
 530       //     to further consider how we deal with a stale value of
 531       //     cur_younger_gen_and_prev_non_clean in our case analysis
 532       //     below. This we do in Case 3 below. [End Case 1b]
 533       //   [End Case 1]
 534       // o Case 2. If the stale value corresponds to cur_younger_gen being
 535       //   a value not necessarily written by a current promotion, the
 536       //   card will not be scanned by the younger refs scanning code.
 537       //   (This is OK since as we argued above such cards cannot contain
 538       //   any younger refs.) The result is that this value will be
 539       //   treated as a prev_younger_gen value in a subsequent collection,
 540       //   which is addressed in Case 1 above. [End Case 2]
 541       // o Case 3. We here consider the "derivative" case from Case 1b. above
 542       //   because of which we may find a stale
 543       //   cur_younger_gen_and_prev_non_clean card value in the table.
 544       //   Once again, as in Case 1, we consider two subcases, depending
 545       //   on whether the card lies in the occupied or unoccupied part
 546       //   of the space at the start of the young collection.
 547       //   o Case 3a. Let us say the card is in the occupied part of
 548       //     the old gen at the start of the young collection. In that
 549       //     case, the card will be scanned by the younger refs scanning
 550       //     code which will set it to cur_younger_gen. In a subsequent
 551       //     scan, the card will be considered again and get its final
 552       //     correct value. [End Case 3a]
 553       //   o Case 3b. Now consider the case where the card is in the
 554       //     unoccupied part of the old gen, and is occupied as a result
 555       //     of promotions during thus young gc. In that case,
 556       //     the card will not be scanned for younger refs. The presence
 557       //     of newly promoted objects on the card will then result in
 558       //     its keeping the value cur_younger_gen_and_prev_non_clean
 559       //     value, which we have dealt with in Case 3 here. [End Case 3b]
 560       //   [End Case 3]
 561       //
 562       // (Please refer to the code in the helper class
 563       // ClearNonCleanCardWrapper and in CardTable for details.)
 564       //
 565       // The informal arguments above can be tightened into a formal
 566       // correctness proof and it behooves us to write up such a proof,
 567       // or to use model checking to prove that there are no lingering
 568       // concerns.
 569       //
 570       // Clearly because of Case 3b one cannot bound the time for
 571       // which a card will retain what we have called a "stale" value.
 572       // However, one can obtain a Loose upper bound on the redundant
 573       // work as a result of such stale values. Note first that any
 574       // time a stale card lies in the occupied part of the space at
 575       // the start of the collection, it is scanned by younger refs
 576       // code and we can define a rank function on card values that
 577       // declines when this is so. Note also that when a card does not
 578       // lie in the occupied part of the space at the beginning of a
 579       // young collection, its rank can either decline or stay unchanged.
 580       // In this case, no extra work is done in terms of redundant
 581       // younger refs scanning of that card.
 582       // Then, the case analysis above reveals that, in the worst case,
 583       // any such stale card will be scanned unnecessarily at most twice.
 584       //
 585       // It is nonetheless advisable to try and get rid of some of this
 586       // redundant work in a subsequent (low priority) re-design of
