Round the size up to one of the small size classes // and look in the corresponding MCache free list. // If the list is not empty, allocate an object from it. // This can all be done without acquiring a lock. // // 2. If the MCache free list is empty, replenish it by // taking a bunch of objects from the MCentral free list. // Moving a bunch amortizes the cost of acquiring the MCentral lock. // // 3. If the MCentral free list is empty, replenish it by // allocating a run of pages from the MHeap and then // chopping that memory into a objects of the given size. // Allocating many objects amortizes the cost of locking // the heap. // // 4. If the MHeap is empty or has no page runs large enough, // allocate a new group of pages (at least 1MB) from the // operating system. Allocating a large run of pages // amortizes the cost of talking to the operating system. // // Freeing a small object proceeds up the same hierarchy: // // 1. Look up the size class for the object and add it to // the MCache free list. // // 2. If the MCache free list is too long or the MCache has // too much memory, return some to the MCentral free lists. // // 3. If all the objects in a given span have returned to // the MCentral list, return that span to the page heap. // // 4. If the heap has too much memory, return some to the // operating system. // // TODO(rsc): Step 4 is not implemented. // // Allocating and freeing a large object uses the page heap // directly, bypassing the MCache and MCentral free lists. // // The small objects on the MCache and MCentral free lists // may or may not be zeroed. They are zeroed if and only if // the second word of the object is zero. A span in the // page heap is zeroed unless s->needzero is set. When a span // is allocated to break into small objects, it is zeroed if needed // and s->needzero is set. There are two main benefits to delaying the // zeroing this way: // // 1. stack frames allocated from the small object lists // or the page heap can avoid zeroing altogether. // 2. the cost of zeroing when reusing a small object is // charged to the mutator, not the garbage collector. // // This C code was written with an eye toward translating to Go // in the future.
