## DEC-09 — The chosen `Http2FrameWriter` design, with its benchmark numbers
|
||||
|
||||
**Status.** Not yet decided — this entry is a placeholder until Phase 3 runs its gate. Phase 3
|
||||
benchmarks three candidate writer designs ((a) plain `ReentrantLock.lock()` per frame,
|
||||
(b) `tryLock()` + intrusive MPSC, (c) a dedicated writer virtual thread fed by an MPSC queue)
|
||||
against the numeric gate criteria in the plan (0 B/op and <50 ns overhead at N=1; ≥60% of the
|
||||
N=1 per-thread aggregate throughput and <1 ms p999 at N=64; no carrier pinning). This entry is
|
||||
filled in with the winning design and the raw numbers when Phase 3 completes, or with the
|
||||
failure and the redesign taken if no candidate meets the gate.
|
||||
**Context.** Phase 3 is a GO/NO-GO gate: build and benchmark the connection-level serialized
|
||||
frame writer, the one genuinely novel architectural risk in this codebase's HTTP/2 work (see
|
||||
Part I's "one thread owns the socket" framing). Three candidate designs were built and compared
|
||||
against the plan's numeric gate criteria: (a) `plain_lock` — unconditional
|
||||
`ReentrantLock.lock()` per frame; (b) `trylock_mpsc` — `tryLock()` fast path with an intrusive
|
||||
Vyukov-style MPSC queue fallback; (c) `dedicated_thread` — every write handed off via the same
|
||||
MPSC queue to one dedicated, parked/unparked writer thread. A fourth harness,
|
||||
`raw_unsynchronized` (no coordination at all — unsafe, not a candidate), establishes the N=1
|
||||
baseline the 50 ns budget is measured against.
|
||||
|
||||
**Revisit when.** N/A until Phase 3 lands.
|
||||
**Options.** (a), (b), (c) as above — full description, JMH methodology, and raw numbers in
|
||||
`flash/docs/http2/WRITER.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision.** (b), `trylock_mpsc` — matching the plan's own proposed design. Measured against
|
||||
every gate criterion (JDK 21.0.11, JMH 1.37; see `WRITER.md` for the complete methodology
|
||||
including its two stated caveats — an in-memory counting sink rather than a real loopback
|
||||
socket, and one JMH "op" being a 4 000-write burst rather than a single write):
|
||||
|
||||
| Criterion | Result | Verdict |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| N=1: 0 B/op | 0.0015 B/write differential vs. `raw_unsynchronized`, within measurement noise | PASS |
|
||||
| N=1: ≤50 ns overhead vs. raw unsynchronized | 42.6 ns point estimate, ≤47.9 ns at the 99.9% CI's worst case | PASS |
|
||||
| N=64: throughput ≥60% of N=1 per-thread rate | 65.5% | PASS |
|
||||
| N=64: p999 <1 ms | 11.8–14.2 µs | PASS |
|
||||
| No carrier pinning (`-Djdk.tracePinnedThreads=full`) | none observed | PASS |
|
||||
| Stress test green at every N ∈ {1,2,8,64,256}, 1000 iterations, incl. parallelism=1 | 10 000/10 000 | PASS |
|
||||
|
||||
`plain_lock` was also measured for comparison (not merely asserted inferior): it retains only
|
||||
58.1% of its own N=1 throughput at N=64 (below the 60% bar `trylock_mpsc` clears) and its p999
|
||||
latency blows up to 1.6–2.0 ms under load — unfair blocking causing tail pile-up, exactly the
|
||||
failure mode a naive per-frame lock predicts. `dedicated_thread` has the best tail latency of the
|
||||
three (1.5–6.7 µs at N=64) but pays a ~3.3× throughput penalty at N=1, because every write —
|
||||
even a genuinely uncontended one — pays a full park/unpark handoff; there is no fast path for
|
||||
the dominant "one active writer" case. Neither alternative is a better shipped default than
|
||||
`trylock_mpsc`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Consequence.** `Http2FrameWriter` ships exactly as designed in the plan: `tryLock()` fast path
|
||||
(one uncontended CAS on the overwhelmingly common single-writer case), intrusive MPSC fallback
|
||||
under genuine contention (the `WriteIntent` itself is the queue node — zero allocation to
|
||||
enqueue), `ReentrantLock` throughout (never `synchronized` — `EX-01`'s carrier-pinning fix
|
||||
generalized to the connection writer), and a scan-based write-timeout reaper
|
||||
(`Http2Limits.WRITE_TIMEOUT_MS`, 30 s) rather than a per-write `System.nanoTime()` deadline — an
|
||||
earlier revision recorded a per-write deadline and this phase's own benchmark is what caught it
|
||||
costing enough to threaten the 50 ns budget, which is itself part of why the reaper's
|
||||
consecutive-scan design (documented on `Http2FrameWriter.WriteTimeoutReaper`) exists. Phase 4 may
|
||||
proceed.
|
||||
|
||||
**Revisit when.** Not expected to be revisited — the three-candidate comparison is unlikely to
|
||||
change qualitatively unless the JDK's virtual-thread scheduler or `ReentrantLock` implementation
|
||||
changes materially. If a future JDK's `synchronized` stops pinning carriers (JEP 491, JDK 24+),
|
||||
revisit whether `synchronized`'s simpler semantics become preferable now that its only drawback
|
||||
here is removed — but `ReentrantLock` still uniquely offers `tryLock()`, which this design's fast
|
||||
path depends on, so the revisit is not expected to change the outcome.

## DEC-17 — `FrameWriterBenchmark` lives in `src/jmh/java`, a source root registered only inside the `jmh` profile, not in `src/test/java`
|
||||
|
||||
**Context.** The Phase 3 JMH benchmark (`FrameWriterBenchmark`) was first placed directly in
|
||||
`src/test/java/dev/relism/flash/h2/frame/`, on the theory recorded in `flash/pom.xml`'s comment
|
||||
at the time: since the class carries only `@Benchmark`/JMH annotations and no JUnit annotations,
|
||||
Surefire's JUnit-Jupiter engine would simply not select it as a test, so a plain `mvn test` (no
|
||||
`-Pjmh`) would harmlessly ignore it. Verifying this assumption (`mvn -pl flash -am clean
|
||||
test-compile`, no profile) showed it is false: Surefire's `junit-jupiter` engine performs test
|
||||
*discovery* by loading every class under `target/test-classes`, regardless of whether it
|
||||
ultimately selects it as a test — and `FrameWriterBenchmark` cannot even compile without
|
||||
`jmh-core` on the classpath (it imports `org.openjdk.jmh.annotations.*` unconditionally), so with
|
||||
the `jmh` profile inactive the module's test-compile step failed outright: "package
|
||||
org.openjdk.jmh.annotations does not exist". A plain `mvn test` on `flash` — the command every
|
||||
other phase's DoD, and CI itself, uses to verify "still green" — was broken for the entire
|
||||
module, not merely silently skipping the benchmark as intended. This was caught only because
|
||||
this phase's resume step re-ran `mvn test` (via the maven-wrapper distribution under
|
||||
`~/.m2/wrapper/dists`, not a bare `mvn` on `PATH`) without `-Pjmh`, rather than re-running the
|
||||
`-Pjmh`-scoped command the prior session had been using — the same class of gap R10 exists to
|
||||
catch, just in the build graph rather than the source graph.
|
||||
|
||||
**Options.**
|
||||
1. Keep the benchmark in `src/test/java`, and instead exclude it from the default Surefire test
|
||||
set via `<excludes>` in the `maven-surefire-plugin` configuration, re-including it only when
|
||||
`-Pjmh` is active. This still leaves it on the default `test-compile` classpath, so the
|
||||
compile failure would remain — excludes only affect which already-compiled tests Surefire
|
||||
*runs*, not what the compiler plugin *compiles*. Rejected: does not fix the actual failure.
|
||||
2. Move it to its own source root, `src/jmh/java`, and register that root as a test-source
|
||||
directory (`build-helper-maven-plugin`'s `add-test-source` goal) only inside the `jmh`
|
||||
profile's `<build>`. With the profile inactive, the file is not handed to the compiler at
|
||||
all, under any goal — not `test-compile`, not IDE indexing driven by the effective POM.
|
||||
This is also what the plan itself already suggested (Phase 3's Files list: `flash/src/jmh/
|
||||
java/dev/relism/flash/h2/FrameWriterBenchmark.java (or a flash-bench submodule...)`) — the
|
||||
prior session's placement in `src/test/java` was itself a deviation from the plan's own
|
||||
suggested layout, not a considered alternative.
|
||||
3. A separate `flash-bench` submodule, depending on `flash` and always pulling in JMH. The
|
||||
plan's own text offers this as the other option, rejected for the same reason a `jmh` profile
|
||||
was chosen over it in the first place: a whole extra module (its own `pom.xml`, its own
|
||||
`groupId:artifactId`, its own place in the reactor) for one benchmark class is disproportionate
|
||||
machinery, and it does not obviously fix the underlying problem either — `mvn test` from the
|
||||
repo root still touches every reactor module and would still need the module's own default
|
||||
build to not require JMH.
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision.** Option 2 — matching the plan's original suggestion, which is exactly what should
|
||||
have been done the first time.
|
||||
|
||||
**Consequence.** `mvn -pl flash -am test` (no profile) compiles and runs the ordinary unit/stress
|
||||
tests only, exactly as every other phase's DoD assumes, and never touches JMH. `mvn -Pjmh -pl
|
||||
flash test-compile` (or any goal at `generate-test-sources` or later, with the profile active)
|
||||
additionally compiles `src/jmh/java` into `target/test-classes`, exactly where
|
||||
`FrameWriterBenchmark`'s own Javadoc's run instructions already expected it, so that Javadoc
|
||||
needed no change. `build-helper-maven-plugin` (`${build.helper.plugin.version}`, `3.6.0`) is a
|
||||
new build-time-only dependency of the `flash` module, added to the root `pom.xml`'s
|
||||
`<properties>` alongside `jmh.version`, consistent with how every other plugin version in this
|
||||
reactor is centralized. No production code changed; this is a build-graph correction only.
|
||||
|
||||
**Revisit when.** Not expected to be revisited.

|

## DEC-18 — Phase 17 gains a second, explicitly non-gating category of benchmark: application-level, real-`HttpServer`, showcase/literature-only
|
||||
|
||||
**Context.** Raised while wrapping up Phase 3, after reviewing `FrameWriterBenchmark`'s results
|
||||
with the project owner. Phase 3's benchmark is deliberately narrow — it exercises only
|
||||
`Http2FrameWriter` against an in-memory `CountingSink`, isolating the writer's own lock/queue
|
||||
cost from network variance (see `WRITER.md`'s stated caveats). That narrowness is correct for a
|
||||
GO/NO-GO *component* gate, but it means nothing in the plan yet produces end-to-end, real-
|
||||
`HttpServer` numbers — realistic traffic shapes, or deliberately extreme ones (thousands of
|
||||
streams on one connection, pathological header blocks, slow/bursty clients, mixed h1+h2 on one
|
||||
listener) — of the kind that make a project's performance claims concrete rather than asserted.
|
||||
The project owner wants exactly this: **benchmark-driven development** as an ongoing practice,
|
||||
not only a one-time gate, with results available for showcase and literature purposes
|
||||
(illustrating real behavior under real and extreme conditions) independent of whether they pass
|
||||
or fail anything.
|
||||
|
||||
**Options.**
|
||||
1. Fold this into Phase 17's existing JMH suite (task 1) and its allocation/latency gates (tasks
|
||||
2–3), i.e. make these new benchmarks part of the same pass/fail pipeline as the rest of
|
||||
Phase 17.
|
||||
2. Add it as a distinct, explicitly non-gating task within Phase 17 — same `src/jmh` source root
|
||||
as the Phase 3 writer benchmark, same JMH tooling, but no threshold, no CI wiring, output
|
||||
meant to be read by a human (or quoted in a doc/blog post), not consumed by a pass/fail check.
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision.** Option 2, recorded now as a scoped goal for Phase 17 (Phase 17's own Tasks list,
|
||||
new task 8) — **not implemented as part of Phase 3 or this decision**. Phase 4 begins immediately
|
||||
after this entry with a clean, unrelated scope.
|
||||
|
||||
**Consequence.** Phase 17, when it lands, produces two categories of benchmark under `src/jmh`,
|
||||
and both must stay distinguishable at a glance (by class name, by package, or by a doc-comment
|
||||
banner — decided when Phase 17 is actually implemented): (a) the gating suite — allocation-rate
|
||||
and latency-regression checks that fail CI, matching this phase's existing tasks 1–3, run against
|
||||
narrow, isolated scenarios exactly like `FrameWriterBenchmark`; and (b) the showcase suite —
|
||||
real, end-to-end `HttpServer`/h2-connection scenarios, including deliberately extreme ones, that
|
||||
only print results and never gate anything. Keeping (b) non-gating is deliberate: an "extreme
|
||||
case" benchmark (e.g. 10 000 streams on one connection) is valuable precisely because it shows
|
||||
*how* the system behaves under stress, including graceful degradation — turning that into a
|
||||
pass/fail threshold would either be meaningless (no natural "correct" number for a pathological
|
||||
case) or would quietly narrow what counts as an "extreme case" down to whatever currently passes.
|
||||
|
||||
**Revisit when.** Phase 17 is actually started — at that point this entry's task 8 becomes
|
||||
concrete work with its own scenario list, harness design, and output format, rather than a
|
||||
recorded intention.

# The Serialized Frame Writer (Phase 3 — GO/NO-GO gate)
|
||||
|
||||
Audience: contributors. This is the design record and benchmark evidence for
|
||||
`dev.relism.flash.h2.frame.Http2FrameWriter`, the one component every HTTP/2 write in this
|
||||
codebase passes through. Phase 3 of `IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md` treats this component as the
|
||||
single genuinely novel architectural risk in the whole project — everything downstream (frames,
|
||||
HPACK, flow control) is table-driven work with known cost, but nothing in Flash today
|
||||
coordinates concurrent writers onto one socket. If this component could not deliver, the plan
|
||||
says to stop here having spent one phase, not ten. It delivered: **GO**, see the gate table at
|
||||
the end of this document.
|
||||
|
||||
## The problem, precisely
|
||||
|
||||
Under HTTP/1.1, one virtual thread owns one connection's socket for the request/response it is
|
||||
currently serving; there is never a second writer. Under HTTP/2, N streams share one connection
|
||||
and their frames must interleave on the wire, so every write must pass through a serialization
|
||||
point that plain HTTP/1.1 never needed. A lock taken naively per frame — `synchronized` or an
|
||||
uncontended `ReentrantLock.lock()` — costs more per write than every allocation this codebase has
|
||||
ever saved elsewhere (`EX-04` through `EX-29`), because it sits on the one path every response,
|
||||
of either protocol width, eventually goes through.
|
||||
|
||||
## The design, three layers
|
||||
|
||||
**Layer 1 — serialize outside the lock.** By the time `Http2FrameWriter.write(WriteIntent)` is
|
||||
called, the caller (a stream, or a connection-level singleton such as a precompiled SETTINGS ACK)
|
||||
has already built its complete frame — header, HPACK block, payload — into a buffer it owns. The
|
||||
writer never serializes anything; it holds the lock only for the duration of one bulk
|
||||
`sink.write(buffer, offset, length)` call, never for a sequence of small writes. This is why
|
||||
`EX-27` (collapsing `HttpServer.writeResponse`'s ~10 small writes into one) is a prerequisite for
|
||||
h1 too, landing in Phase 6.
|
||||
|
||||
**Layer 2 — `ReentrantLock`, never `synchronized`.** On Java 21, a virtual thread that blocks
|
||||
inside a `synchronized` block pins its carrier platform thread (JEP 491, which removes this,
|
||||
only lands in JDK 24+). Blocking on a `ReentrantLock` unmounts the virtual thread instead. This
|
||||
is the same fix `EX-01` applies to `WebSocketSession`, generalized to the connection writer where
|
||||
it matters far more (N streams instead of one WebSocket session). `ReentrantLock` is load-bearing
|
||||
for a second reason `synchronized` cannot offer: `tryLock()`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Layer 3 — `tryLock()` fast path, intrusive MPSC fallback.** The overwhelmingly common instant,
|
||||
even on a genuinely multiplexed connection, has exactly one stream wanting to write: a browser
|
||||
calling one API endpoint, a gRPC unary call. `tryLock()` on an uncontended lock is one successful
|
||||
CAS; the calling thread writes inline and releases — no handoff, no queue touched, no allocation,
|
||||
no context switch. Only when `tryLock()` fails — genuine contention, genuine multiplexing — does
|
||||
the intent get published through `IntrusiveMpscQueue` (one more CAS, still zero allocation: the
|
||||
`WriteIntent` itself is the queue node, via `mpscNext()`/`setMpscNext`) for the current lock
|
||||
holder to drain.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
happy path (1 active writer): tryLock → sink.write → unlock ≈ 1 CAS
|
||||
contended (N active writers): tryLock fails → CAS enqueue → return
|
||||
current holder drains the queue before unlocking
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Why the fast path checks `queue.hasWork()`, not just `tryLock()`
|
||||
|
||||
Found by this phase's own stress test at N=64/256 — exactly the class of bug R10 exists to catch
|
||||
before it ships, not after. Writing an intent immediately, ahead of anything already queued, is
|
||||
only safe when nothing is already queued. Without the `hasWork()` guard:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Producer P calls `write(a)`, then `write(b)`. Both contend (someone else holds the lock) and
|
||||
both get queued — fire-and-forget from P's point of view.
|
||||
2. The current holder is *about* to drain them but has not yet done so.
|
||||
3. P's very next call, `write(c)`, finds the lock free (the holder released it between P's calls)
|
||||
and — without the guard — would write `c` directly, landing it on the wire *before* `a` and
|
||||
`b`, which are still sitting in the queue.
|
||||
|
||||
`write()` therefore checks `!queue.hasWork() && lock.tryLock()` before taking the direct path:
|
||||
"bypass the queue" only happens when the queue is observed genuinely empty, i.e. everything any
|
||||
producer has ever offered has already been written. `hasWork()` never false-negatives (it would
|
||||
only ever wrongly report work that isn't there, which just costs an extra harmless `tryLock()`
|
||||
attempt), so this preserves per-producer ordering without adding a false rejection of the fast
|
||||
path.
|
||||
|
||||
## Lost-wakeup avoidance
|
||||
|
||||
The classic hazard for a design like this: a producer offers its intent to the queue at the exact
|
||||
moment the current lock holder has just found the queue empty and is about to unlock. Without
|
||||
care, the item is stranded — offered, but nobody left to drain it, and the producer already
|
||||
returned believing the write is in flight.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Producer P Holder H (currently draining, about to unlock)
|
||||
─────────── ──────────────────────────────────────────────
|
||||
next = queue.poll() // null: queue looks empty
|
||||
queue.offer(intent) ← races here →
|
||||
if (lock.tryLock()) lock.unlock()
|
||||
drive(null) // P's own second chance: if P wins the tryLock() race
|
||||
// immediately after H's unlock(), P itself becomes the new
|
||||
// holder and drains — including its own just-offered intent.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Two cooperating mechanisms close this, and both are required — neither alone is sufficient:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **The producer's own second chance.** After a failed `tryLock()`, `write()` offers the intent
|
||||
*then* immediately attempts `tryLock()` again. If H has already unlocked by this point, P wins
|
||||
the second `tryLock()` and drains the queue itself (`drive(null)` — draining whatever is
|
||||
queued, which necessarily includes the intent P just offered, since `offer()` had
|
||||
already completed).
|
||||
2. **The holder's re-check-after-unlock loop**, in `drive()`: after `unlock()`, re-read
|
||||
`queue.hasWork()`. If non-empty, attempt `tryLock()` again and drain, then unlock and re-check
|
||||
once more — looping, because this recheck cycle can itself race the same way a first pass can.
|
||||
If a second `tryLock()` in this loop fails, some *other* thread now holds the lock, and by the
|
||||
same argument that other holder's own re-check-after-unlock covers the item once it releases.
|
||||
|
||||
The correctness argument for why together these are sufficient is a happens-before chain through
|
||||
the queue's `AtomicReference` (`IntrusiveMpscQueue.head`, a `getAndSet` per `offer`) and the
|
||||
lock's own acquire/release ordering: every `offer()` happens-before some subsequent `poll()` that
|
||||
observes it (directly, or via the momentary-`null` self-correcting race documented on
|
||||
`IntrusiveMpscQueue` itself — see its class Javadoc), and every thread that successfully offers
|
||||
either (a) is itself about to attempt `tryLock()` and, on success, drains everything including its
|
||||
own offer, or (b) fails that `tryLock()`, meaning some other thread holds the lock *at that
|
||||
instant* and that thread's own unlock will trigger its own re-check-after-unlock loop. There is no
|
||||
interleaving in which an offered intent is neither drained by its own producer nor covered by some
|
||||
other thread's re-check loop.
|
||||
|
||||
A frame's bytes are never interleaved with another frame's bytes: every write of one intent is a
|
||||
single `sink.write` call issued while holding the lock, and the lock is not released between a
|
||||
`WriteIntent`'s bytes — proven directly by `Http2FrameWriterStressTest`, which reassembles
|
||||
producer/sequence/marker-tagged frames from the sink's output and fails loudly on any torn,
|
||||
duplicated, reordered, or lost frame.
|
||||
|
||||
## Write timeout
|
||||
|
||||
A blocking write is unavoidable when the kernel send buffer is full and the peer is not reading —
|
||||
whoever holds the lock is blocked in the syscall, holding up every other stream on the connection.
|
||||
This is bounded by `Http2Limits.WRITE_TIMEOUT_MS` (30 s), enforced by a single shared daemon
|
||||
thread (`Http2FrameWriter.WriteTimeoutReaper`) rather than `Socket#setSoTimeout`, which bounds
|
||||
reads, not writes.
|
||||
|
||||
The reaper deliberately does **not** ask each write to record a `System.nanoTime()` deadline — an
|
||||
early revision did, and this phase's own N=1 benchmark measured that single `nanoTime()` call
|
||||
(plus the extra `volatile` field it required) costing enough to put per-write overhead over the
|
||||
50 ns-over-baseline gate budget. Instead, the reaper scans every registered writer every
|
||||
`SCAN_INTERVAL_MS` (50 ms) and counts *consecutive* scans a writer has been observed still blocked
|
||||
(`writingThread` non-null); a writer blocked for more than `WRITE_TIMEOUT_MS / SCAN_INTERVAL_MS`
|
||||
consecutive scans is interrupted. This trades a little precision — up to one scan interval of
|
||||
slop, already inherent to any background-reaper design — for removing all per-write timing cost
|
||||
from the path this document's gate criteria are strictest about.
|
||||
|
||||
## Benchmark methodology
|
||||
|
||||
`flash/src/jmh/java/dev/relism/flash/h2/frame/FrameWriterBenchmark.java` (a JMH source root
|
||||
registered only under the `jmh` Maven profile — see `DECISIONS.md`, `DEC-17`, for why it does not
|
||||
live in `src/test/java`) compares four harnesses at `threads` ∈ {1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 64}:
|
||||
|
||||
- `trylock_mpsc` — the shipped `Http2FrameWriter` design.
|
||||
- `plain_lock` — every write blocks on `ReentrantLock.lock()` unconditionally (candidate (a)).
|
||||
- `dedicated_thread` — every write hands off to one dedicated platform thread via the same
|
||||
`IntrusiveMpscQueue`, parked/unparked, never busy-polled (candidate (c)).
|
||||
- `raw_unsynchronized` — no coordination at all; not a candidate (concurrent writers would tear
|
||||
each other's frames), included only to answer "what does a write cost with zero coordination",
|
||||
which the N=1 gate criterion is defined relative to.
|
||||
|
||||
Each JMH "operation" is a full burst: `threads` virtual producer threads each write 4 000 frames
|
||||
of 512 bytes into a `CountingSink` that discards the bytes but atomically counts completed writes;
|
||||
`runBurst` blocks until the count reaches the expected total, so the timed interval always covers
|
||||
real completion, not mere submission (`write()` can return once an intent is merely *queued* on
|
||||
the contended path — timing only "how long until every `write()` call returned" would flatter
|
||||
whichever design most aggressively defers work). `@Threads` was not usable here: it requires a
|
||||
compile-time constant, not a value swept via `@Param`, and JMH's own thread pool is platform
|
||||
threads, not the virtual threads under test.
|
||||
|
||||
**Two honest caveats, stated plainly rather than glossed over (R3):**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **The sink is an in-memory counter, not a real socket.** "p999 latency ... on loopback" in the
|
||||
plan's gate wording implies real socket I/O; this harness measures writer-lock-contention
|
||||
latency in isolation from network variance, which is the right isolation for judging *this
|
||||
component*, but it means the recorded p999 numbers below are a lower bound on what a real
|
||||
loopback socket would show, not a direct stand-in for it. Frame size used is 512 B, not the
|
||||
plan's illustrative 1 KB — chosen to keep the burst's own array allocation small relative to
|
||||
JVM defaults; the writer's cost model does not depend on frame size (it copies nothing; see
|
||||
`WriteIntent`'s Javadoc), so this does not affect the gate conclusions.
|
||||
2. **One JMH "op" is a whole burst (4 000 writes), not one write**, because `@OperationsPerInvocation`
|
||||
requires a compile-time constant and cannot vary with the `threads` `@Param`. Every burst also
|
||||
pays fixed harness costs common to *all four* designs equally: one `ExecutorService` (a
|
||||
virtual-thread-per-task executor) created and torn down, one `Future[]` array, one
|
||||
`long[threads][4000]` latency-sample array, and one fresh `BenchIntent` object allocated per
|
||||
write (matching the stress test's own pattern, not the writer's actual production contract —
|
||||
a real stream is long-lived and reuses itself as its own `WriteIntent`). Because this cost is
|
||||
identical across designs, **absolute** `gc.alloc.rate.norm` numbers below are dominated by this
|
||||
shared harness cost (~33 443 B/op), not by the design under test; the number that actually
|
||||
answers the "0 B/op" gate criterion is the **differential** between a design and the
|
||||
`raw_unsynchronized` baseline, which isolates exactly the bytes that design itself adds.
|
||||
|
||||
## Results
|
||||
|
||||
All runs: JDK 21.0.11 (Temurin), this development sandbox, JMH 1.37, `-Fork` per run noted below.
|
||||
Raw JMH output is not reproduced in full here; the numbers below are the reported means with
|
||||
their 99.9% CI half-widths.
|
||||
|
||||
### N=1 — throughput and allocation (`-f 4 -wi 5 -w 1s -i 12 -r 2s`, throughput; separately
|
||||
`-f 2 -wi 3 -i 8`, `-prof gc`)
|
||||
|
||||
| design | ops/s (bursts/s) | derived ns/write | gc.alloc.rate.norm (B/op, per burst) |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `trylock_mpsc` | 2007.930 ± 60.623 | 124.5 ns | 33 449.253 ± 13.383 |
|
||||
| `raw_unsynchronized` | 3052.036 ± 52.515 | 81.9 ns | 33 443.349 ± 1.572 |
|
||||
|
||||
- **Overhead vs. raw unsynchronized:** 124.5 − 81.9 = **42.6 ns** (point estimate). Worst case
|
||||
within the 99.9% CI (slowest plausible `trylock_mpsc`, fastest plausible baseline):
|
||||
≈ **47.9 ns**. Both are under the **50 ns** gate budget.
|
||||
- **Allocation delta:** 33 449.253 − 33 443.349 = **5.9 B per 4 000-write burst** ≈ **0.0015 B per
|
||||
write** — within `trylock_mpsc`'s own ±13.383 error band, i.e. not distinguishable from zero.
|
||||
Consistent with the design: the fast path is `queue.hasWork()` (a volatile read) plus
|
||||
`ReentrantLock.tryLock()`/`unlock()` (well-known non-allocating on the JDK's implementation)
|
||||
plus one bulk `sink.write`. **Gate criterion: 0 B/op — PASS.**
|
||||
|
||||
### N=64 — throughput retention and tail latency (`-f 2 -wi 3 -w 1s -i 5 -r 1s`)
|
||||
|
||||
| design | N=1 writes/s (per-thread) | N=64 writes/s (aggregate) | retention | p999 @ N=64 |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `trylock_mpsc` (shipped) | 8 721 148 | 5 712 640 | **65.5 %** | **11.8–14.2 µs** |
|
||||
| `plain_lock` (candidate a) | 10 469 956 | 6 082 048 | 58.1 % | 1627–1952 µs |
|
||||
| `dedicated_thread` (candidate c) | 2 673 964 | 5 718 528 | 213.8 %† | 1.5–6.7 µs |
|
||||
| `raw_unsynchronized` (unsafe baseline) | 11 353 924 | 20 764 160 | n/a | n/a |
|
||||
|
||||
† `dedicated_thread`'s N=1 baseline is itself poor (every uncontended write still pays a full
|
||||
park/unpark handoff to the dedicated thread — there is no fast path for the "only one writer"
|
||||
case at all), so a >100% "retention" number reflects a bad denominator, not superlinear scaling.
|
||||
It is reported for completeness, not as a pass/fail signal — the gate criterion is defined
|
||||
relative to `trylock_mpsc`'s own N=1 baseline, which is the design that shipped.
|
||||
|
||||
- **`trylock_mpsc` throughput retention:** 65.5 % ≥ the required 60 %. **PASS.**
|
||||
- **`trylock_mpsc` p999 latency:** 11.8–14.2 µs, far under the 1 ms budget. **PASS.**
|
||||
- (Not gate-relevant, but part of why (b) was chosen over (a) and (c), per the plan's task 6:
|
||||
`plain_lock` blows past the 1 ms p999 budget by ~1000× under load — unfair blocking causes tail
|
||||
pile-up exactly as expected from a design with no fast path and no fairness guarantee.
|
||||
`dedicated_thread` has the best tail latency of the three but a **~3.3×** throughput penalty at
|
||||
N=1, because *every* write, even genuinely uncontended ones, pays a full thread handoff. Neither
|
||||
alternative is a better shipped default than `trylock_mpsc`.)
|
||||
|
||||
### Stress test — correctness under concurrency, 1000 iterations per N
|
||||
|
||||
Run via an ad hoc reflective driver invoking `Http2FrameWriterStressTest`'s private `runStress`
|
||||
method directly (the shipped test class runs reduced counts for a fast default `mvn test`; this
|
||||
is the full gate verification described in that class's own Javadoc), for `N` ∈ {1, 2, 8, 64,
|
||||
256}, 1000 iterations each:
|
||||
|
||||
| Scheduler | n=1 | n=2 | n=8 | n=64 | n=256 | Total wall time |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| default parallelism | 0 failures | 0 failures | 0 failures | 0 failures | 0 failures | ≈ 9.1 s |
|
||||
| `-Djdk.virtualThreadScheduler.parallelism=1` | 0 failures | 0 failures | 0 failures | 0 failures | 0 failures | ≈ 8.9 s |
|
||||
|
||||
Every byte of every frame arrived, correctly ordered per-producer, with no tearing, duplication,
|
||||
or loss, in both configurations — **10 000 total stress runs, 0 failures.**
|
||||
|
||||
**Carrier pinning:** the `parallelism=1` run above was additionally run under
|
||||
`-Djdk.tracePinnedThreads=full`, which prints a stack trace to stderr for any virtual thread found
|
||||
blocked while pinning its carrier. Zero output — **no pinning observed**, consistent with the
|
||||
design's exclusive use of `ReentrantLock` (never `synchronized`) on every path that can block.
|
||||
|
||||
## Gate criteria — final tally
|
||||
|
||||
| # | Criterion | Result | Verdict |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| 1 | N=1: 0 B/op | 0.0015 B/write differential vs. baseline, within noise | **PASS** |
|
||||
| 1 | N=1: ≤50 ns overhead vs. raw unsynchronized | 42.6 ns point estimate, ≤47.9 ns worst-case CI | **PASS** |
|
||||
| 2 | N=64: throughput ≥60% of N=1 per-thread rate | 65.5 % | **PASS** |
|
||||
| 2 | N=64: p999 <1 ms (512 B frame, in-memory sink) | 11.8–14.2 µs | **PASS** |
|
||||
| 3 | No carrier pinning under `-Djdk.tracePinnedThreads=full` | none observed | **PASS** |
|
||||
| 4 | Stress test green at every N, 1000 iterations, incl. parallelism=1 | 10 000/10 000 | **PASS** |
|
||||
|
||||
**All four gate criteria are met. Verdict: GO.** `Http2FrameWriter` ships as designed —
|
||||
`tryLock()` fast path, intrusive MPSC fallback — and Phase 4 may proceed. See `DECISIONS.md`,
|
||||
`DEC-09`, for the decision-log entry recording this outcome alongside the plan's other decisions.
|
||||
|
||||
## What this design costs vs. what it saves
|
||||
|
||||
The honest framing (per R3, extended from HPACK's own to the writer): the writer's happy path
|
||||
costs one uncontended CAS (`ReentrantLock.tryLock()`) plus a volatile read (`queue.hasWork()`)
|
||||
plus the write syscall itself — on the order of tens of nanoseconds, measured above at ~42.6 ns
|
||||
over a raw unsynchronized write. What it buys is the only thing that makes HTTP/2 multiplexing
|
||||
possible on a codebase built around "one thread owns the socket": N concurrent streams can write
|
||||
frames to the same connection without a naive per-frame lock (which the `plain_lock` comparison
|
||||
above shows costs ~1000× more in tail latency once real contention appears), and without
|
||||
committing every connection to a dedicated writer thread's per-write handoff cost (which the
|
||||
`dedicated_thread` comparison shows costs ~3.3× throughput at the N=1 case that dominates real
|
||||
traffic). Forty-two nanoseconds is a price worth paying once, on the one path that gates
|
||||
multiplexed HTTP/2 correctness at all.

Phase 3 (flash/docs/http2/IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md): the JMH benchmark gate for the h2
|
||||
serialized frame writer. Not bound to the default build — activate explicitly with
|
||||
`-Pjmh`. Benchmarks live in src/jmh/java, a source root distinct from src/test/java
|
||||
(a `jmh` profile on this module, per the plan's own suggestion, rather than a new
|
||||
flash-bench submodule — recorded as DEC-09), specifically so that `mvn test` with no
|
||||
profile never even *compiles* them: src/jmh/java is registered as a test-source root
|
||||
only inside this profile (build-helper-maven-plugin's add-test-source), and the JMH
|
||||
dependencies it imports are likewise profile-scoped. An earlier revision put the
|
||||
benchmark directly in src/test/java, relying on Surefire's JUnit filtering (JMH classes
|
||||
carry no JUnit annotations) to skip it at *run* time — but Surefire's test discovery
|
||||
loads every compiled test class regardless, so a plain `mvn test` without `-Pjmh` failed
|
||||
the whole module at test-compile with "package org.openjdk.jmh.annotations does not
|
||||
exist", since jmh-core is not on the classpath outside this profile. The separate source
|
||||
root fixes that at the root: with the profile inactive, the benchmark source is not on
|
||||
any compiler's input at all. Run: `mvn -Pjmh -pl flash test-compile` then
|
||||
`java -cp ... org.openjdk.jmh.Main` (see FrameWriterBenchmark's own Javadoc for the full

classpath incantation).

/**
|
||||
* Phase 3's go/no-go benchmark (flash/docs/http2/IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md). Compares three writer
|
||||
* designs at N ∈ {1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 64} concurrent <b>virtual-thread</b> writers:
|
||||
*
|
||||
* <ul>
|
||||
* <li>{@code trylock_mpsc} — the design that ships as {@link Http2FrameWriter}: {@code tryLock()}
|
||||
* fast path, intrusive MPSC fallback.</li>
|
||||
* <li>{@code plain_lock} — every write blocks on {@code ReentrantLock#lock()}, unconditionally.</li>
|
||||
* <li>{@code dedicated_thread} — every write hands off to a single dedicated platform thread
|
||||
* via the same {@link IntrusiveMpscQueue}, parked/unparked (never a busy poll).</li>
|
||||
* </ul>
|
||||
*
|
||||
* <h3>Why this benchmark drives its own concurrency instead of JMH's {@code @Threads}</h3>
|
||||
* {@code @Threads} requires a compile-time constant, not a {@code @Param}-swept value, and JMH's
|
||||
* thread pool is platform threads, not virtual threads — the exact scheduling behaviour under
|
||||
* test. Each {@code @Benchmark} invocation therefore spawns {@link #threads} virtual threads
|
||||
* itself, has them race a fixed burst of writes to a counting no-op sink, and reports the
|
||||
* burst's wall-clock rate; JMH still owns fork/warmup/measurement-iteration control and (via
|
||||
* {@code -prof gc}) the zero-allocation verification.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* <h3>Why {@code runBurst} waits on a write counter, not just thread completion</h3>
|
||||
* {@code write()} does not mean "already on the wire" for every design: the shipped design's
|
||||
* contended path, and the dedicated-thread design's handoff, can both return once the frame is
|
||||
* merely *queued*. Timing only "how long until every producer's {@code write()} call returned"
|
||||
* would therefore measure submission speed, not completion speed, and would flatter exactly the
|
||||
* designs that most aggressively defer work — the opposite of a fair comparison. Every harness
|
||||
* here writes through {@link CountingSink} and {@link #runBurst} waits for its counter to reach
|
||||
* the expected total before returning, so the timed interval always covers real completion.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* <p>Per-write latency percentiles are computed by hand from {@code System.nanoTime()} samples
|
||||
* collected during the burst (JMH's own {@code Mode.SampleTime} does not fit a
|
||||
* custom-concurrency benchmark method) and printed once per (design, threads) combination — see
|
||||
* {@code WRITER.md} for the recorded results and the gate decision.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* <p>Run: {@code mvn -Pjmh -pl flash test-compile} then
|
||||
* {@code java -cp flash/target/test-classes:flash/target/classes:$(mvn -Pjmh -pl flash dependency:build-classpath -Dmdep.outputFile=/dev/stdout -q)

|
||||
* concurrent access to one connection's socket write side as cheaply as physically possible,
|
||||
* because under multiplexing every stream on a connection shares that one socket.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* <h2>The design, three layers</h2>
|
||||
*
|
||||
* <p><b>Layer 1 — serialize outside the lock.</b> By the time {@link #write} is called, the
|
||||
* caller has already built its complete frame into a buffer it owns (see {@link WriteIntent}).
|
||||
* This writer never serializes anything; it only ever issues one bulk
|
||||
* {@code sink.write(buffer, offset, length)} call while holding the lock — never many small
|
||||
* writes, which would turn "hold the lock" into "hold the lock across a serialization pass."
|
||||
*
|
||||
* <p><b>Layer 2 — {@link ReentrantLock}, never {@code synchronized}.</b> On Java 21, a virtual
|
||||
* thread blocking inside {@code synchronized} pins its carrier platform thread; blocking on a
|
||||
* {@link ReentrantLock} unmounts it instead (JEP 491, which removes the {@code synchronized}
|
||||
* pinning behaviour, only lands in JDK 24+ — see {@code EX-01}, {@code DEC-03}).
|
||||
* {@code ReentrantLock} is also load-bearing here for a second reason {@code synchronized}
|
||||
* cannot offer: {@link ReentrantLock#tryLock()}.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* <p><b>Layer 3 — {@code tryLock()} fast path, intrusive MPSC fallback.</b> The overwhelmingly
|
||||
* common case, even on a genuinely multiplexed connection, is exactly one stream wanting to
|
||||
* write at a given instant. {@code tryLock()} on an uncontended lock is one successful CAS; the
|
||||
* calling thread writes inline and releases — no handoff, no queue touched, no allocation, no
|
||||
* context switch. Only when {@code tryLock()} fails (genuine contention) does the intent get
|
||||
* published through {@link IntrusiveMpscQueue} (one more CAS, still zero allocation — the
|
||||
* intent itself is the queue node) for the current lock holder to drain.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* <h3>Lost-wakeup avoidance</h3>
|
||||
* The classic hazard: a producer offers its intent to the queue at the exact moment the current
|
||||
* holder has just found the queue empty and is about to unlock — the item would be stranded
|
||||
* with nobody left to drain it. This is closed by two cooperating checks, and the correctness
|
||||
* argument for why together they are sufficient is a happens-before chain through the queue's
|
||||
* {@code AtomicReference} and the lock's own acquire/release ordering (recorded in full in
|
||||
* {@code WRITER.md}, since it is exactly the kind of reasoning a future reader must be able to
|
||||
* re-derive, not just trust):
|
||||
* <pre>
|
||||
* write(intent):
|
||||
* if tryLock() succeeds: // 1 CAS, the fast path
|
||||
* drive(intent) // write intent directly, then drain the queue, then unlock
|
||||
* else:
|
||||
* queue.offer(intent) // 1 CAS, zero allocation
|
||||
* if tryLock() succeeds: // the producer's own second chance
|
||||
* drive(null) // drain whatever is queued, including our own intent
|
||||
*
|
||||
* drive(firstIntentOrNull):
|
||||
* write firstIntentOrNull if present, then poll-and-write until the queue is empty
|
||||
* unlock()
|
||||
* while queue.hasWork(): // the re-check-after-unlock that closes the race
|
||||
* if !tryLock(): break // someone else is now responsible; their own recheck covers us
|
||||
* poll-and-write until empty
|
||||
* unlock()
|
||||
* </pre>
|
||||
* A frame's bytes are never interleaved with another frame's bytes: every write of one intent
|
||||
* is a single {@code sink.write} call issued while holding the lock, and the lock is not
|
||||
* released between a {@code WriteIntent}'s bytes.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* <h3>Write timeout</h3>
|
||||
* A blocking write is unavoidable when the kernel send buffer is full and the peer is not
|
||||
* reading — whoever holds the lock is blocked in the syscall, holding up every other stream on
|
||||
* the connection. This is bounded by {@link Http2Limits#WRITE_TIMEOUT_MS}, enforced by a shared
|
||||
* background reaper ({@link WriteTimeoutReaper}) that interrupts the blocked thread past the
|
||||
* deadline — {@code Socket#setSoTimeout} bounds reads, not writes, so it cannot be used here.
|
||||
* Registration happens once per writer (connection-setup cost, not per write — R2 exempts
|
||||
* connection setup), so arming/disarming the deadline for each individual write is two
|
||||
* {@code volatile} field writes, not an allocation.

|

* to catch): writing {@code intent} immediately, before anything already queued, is only

|

* producer's {@code write(a)} then {@code write(b)} contends and both get queued
|
||||
* (fire-and-forget); the current holder is about to drain them but has not yet; that

||||
* producer's very next call, {@code write(c)}, finds the lock free (the holder released it
|
||||
* between the producer's calls) and would otherwise write {@code c} directly — landing on
|
||||
* the wire before {@code a} and {@code b}, which are still sitting in the queue. Checking
|
||||
* {@code hasWork()} first means "bypass the queue" only happens when the queue is observed
|
||||
* genuinely empty, i.e. everything previously offered — by any producer — has already been
