Shared Pool is now the sole backend (`hak_tiny_alloc_superslab_box` -> `hak_tiny_alloc_superslab_backend_shared`). + * **Soft Cap Removed**: Removed the artificial "Soft Cap" limit in Shared Pool Stage 3, allowing it to handle full workload load. + * **EMPTY Recycling**: Implemented `SLAB_TRY_RECYCLE` with atomic batch decrement of `meta->used` in `_ss_remote_drain_to_freelist_unsafe`. This ensures EMPTY slabs are immediately returned to the global pool. + * **Race Condition Fix**: Moved `remove_superslab_from_legacy_head(ss)` to the *start* of `shared_pool_release_slab` to prevent Legacy Backend from allocating from a slab being recycled. Added `total_active_blocks` check before freeing. + * **Performance**: **50.3 M ops/s** in WS8192 benchmark (vs 16.5 M baseline). OOM/Crash issues resolved. -2. **SuperSlab Management Unification** - * **Unified Entry**: `sp_internal_allocate_superslab` helper introduced to manage safe allocation flow. - * **Unified Free**: `remove_superslab_from_legacy_head` implemented to safely remove pointers from legacy lists when freeing via Shared Pool. +2. **Critical Fixes (Deadlock & OOM)** + * **Deadlock**: `shared_pool_acquire_slab` releases `alloc_lock` before `superslab_allocate`. + * **Is Empty Return**: `tiny_free_local_box` now returns `int is_empty` status to allow safe, race-free recycling by the caller. -3. **Code Refactoring (Split `hakmem_shared_pool.c`)** - * **Split Strategy**: Divided the monolithic `core/hakmem_shared_pool.c` (1400+ lines) into logical modules: - * `core/hakmem_shared_pool.c`: Initialization, stats, and common helpers. - * `core/hakmem_shared_pool_acquire.c`: Allocation logic (`shared_pool_acquire_slab` and Stage 0.5-3). - * `core/hakmem_shared_pool_release.c`: Deallocation logic (`shared_pool_release_slab`). - * `core/hakmem_shared_pool_internal.h`: Internal shared definitions and prototypes. - * **Makefile**: Updated to compile and link the new files. - * **Cleanups**: Removed unused "L0 Cache" experimental code and fixed incorrect function names (`superslab_alloc` -> `superslab_allocate`). +3. **Code Refactoring** + * Modularized `hakmem_shared_pool.c` into `acquire/release/internal` components. --- -## Next Phase Candidates (Handover from Phase 9-2) +## Next Phase: Phase 10 - Type Safety & Hardening -### 1. Soft Cap (Policy) Tuning -* **Issue**: Medium Working Sets (8192) hit the Shared Pool "Soft Cap" easily, causing frequent fallbacks and performance degradation. -* **Action**: Review `hakmem_policy.c` and adjust `tiny_cap` or improve dynamic adjustment logic. +### 1. Pointer Type Safety (Debug Only) +* **Issue**: Occasional `[TLS_SLL_HDR_RESET]` warnings indicate confusion between `BasePtr` (header start) and `UserPtr` (payload start). +* **Solution**: Implement "Phantom Type" checking macros enabled only in debug builds. + * Define `hak_base_ptr_t` and `hak_user_ptr_t` structs in debug. + * Define strict conversion macros (`hak_base_to_user`, `hak_user_to_base`). + * Apply incrementally to `tls_sll_box`, `free_local_box`, and `remote_free_box`. + * **Goal**: Catch pointer arithmetic errors at compile time in debug mode. -### 2. Fast Path Optimization -* **Issue**: Small Working Sets (256) show 70-88% performance vs SysAlloc due to lock/call overhead. Refactoring caused a slight dip (15%), highlighting the need for optimization. -* **Action**: Re-implement a lightweight L0 Cache or optimize the lock-free path in Shared Pool for hot-path performance. Consider inlining hot helpers again via header-only implementations if needed. +### 2. Header Protection Hardening +* **Goal**: Reinforce header integrity checks in `tiny_free_local_box` and `tls_sll_pop` using the new type system. -### 3. Legacy Backend Removal -* **Issue**: Legacy Backend (`g_superslab_heads`) is still kept for fallback but causes complexity. -* **Action**: Plan complete removal of `g_superslab_heads`, migrating all management to Shared Pool. +### 3. Fast Path Optimization +* **Goal**: Re-evaluate hot path performance (Stage 1 lock-free) after Phase 9-2 stabilization. --- ## Current Status * **Build**: Passing (Clean build verified). * **Benchmarks**: - * `HAKMEM_TINY_SS_SHARED=1` (Normal): ~20.0 M ops/s (working, fallback active). - * `HAKMEM_TINY_SS_SHARED=2` (Strict): ~20.3 M ops/s (working, OOMs on soft cap as expected). -* **Pending**: Selection of next focus area. + * WS8192: **50.3 M ops/s** (Shared Pool ONLY). + * Crash/OOM: Resolved. +* **Pending**: Phase 10 implementation (Type Safety). \ No newline at end of file
