Hi,

Using unsafe to read fields will make the code very brittle and require us to further detect and buffer types and which fields to read and handle. Currently this seems to be a rather uncommon case, as the code in Adler32 and CRC32 has done a full allocation in JDK 8, and by far either wrapped ByteBuffers or DirectByteBuffers are expected to be used. So for now I will keep the code as is without further complications.

The performance with the copying looks reasonable. The result is multiplied with array length (@OperationsPerInvocation(65536 or 1024)) so score ends up being bytes/ms.

Unsafe is available, so the fields (array, offset) can be read directly

No need for MethodHandlers.
During class init the offsets have to be resolved, pretty much like any CAS
utilizing algorithm.

I didn't propose it as readOnlyBuffers are very, very rarely used and even
more unlikely to be used to calculate checksums. It just makes the code
ugly.

Agreed. And when Staffan introduces intrinsic, he could pass the ByteBuffer instance to it and extract the byte[] there...

Hi Staffan,

Regarding default case:

  168         } else {
169 byte[] b = new byte[Math.min(buffer.remaining(), 4096)];
  170             while (buffer.hasRemaining()) {
171 int length = Math.min(buffer.remaining(), b.length);
  172                 buffer.get(b, 0, length);
  173                 update(b, 0, length);
  174             }
  175         }


Have you tried using get()/getInt() directly on the (ro) ByteBuffer
instead of copying to byte[] chunks? Intuitively one would expect it
perform faster if a redundant copy is avoided. Ah, you already told us that
you plan to use intrinsic for CRC32C in the future, so you want to have
"addresses" at hand.

A hackish way to avoid copying in this case is to access the byte[] and
offset using reflection. But this would have to be wrapped with
doPrivileged() which would worsen performance for small buffers. A way to avoid repeated access checks is to do them at class initialization time,
using MethodHandle(s). For example, something like:


     private static final MethodHandle bbArrayGetter;
     private static final MethodHandle bbArrayOffsetGetter;

     static {
         MethodHandle hbGetter;
         MethodHandle offsetGetter;
         try {
             Field hbField = ByteBuffer.class.getDeclaredField("hb");
             Field offsetField = ByteBuffer.class.
getDeclaredField("offset");
AccessController.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedAction<Void>() {
                 @Override
                 public Void run() {
                     hbField.setAccessible(true);
                     offsetField.setAccessible(true);
                     return null;
                 }
             });
hbGetter = MethodHandles.lookup().unreflectGetter(hbField);
             offsetGetter = MethodHandles.lookup().
unreflectGetter(offsetField);
         } catch (NoSuchFieldException | IllegalAccessException e) {
             hbGetter = null;
             offsetGetter = null;
         }
         bbArrayGetter = hbGetter;
         bbArrayOffsetGetter = offsetGetter;
     }

     private static byte[] getArrayOrNull(ByteBuffer bb) {
         if (bb.hasArray()) return bb.array();
         if (bbArrayGetter != null) {
             try {
                 return (byte[]) bbArrayGetter.invokeExact(bb);
             } catch (Throwable e) {
                 throw new InternalError(e);
             }
         }
         return null;
     }

     private static int getArrayOffset(ByteBuffer bb) {
         if (bb.hasArray()) return bb.arrayOffset();
         if (bbArrayOffsetGetter != null) {
             try {
                 return (int) bbArrayOffsetGetter.invokeExact(bb);
             } catch (Throwable e) {
                 throw new InternalError(e);
             }
         }
         throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
     }

Hi Staffan,

The readonly buffer (ByteBuffer.asReadOnlyBuffer()) don't have array()
"working".
You can use "int length = Math.min(buffer.remaining, b.length)" instead, same with new byte[Math.min(4096, buffer.remaining)]. Using smaller chunks will be more performance friendly than allocating/eating up a huge byte[]. If you feel like, add a test with a heap bytebuffer.asReadOnlyBuffer().

     Hi,

I was thinking about this earlier when I started writing the patch
     and then I forgot about it again. I haven't been able to figure
     out when the code will be executed. ByteBuffer is implemented in
     such a way  that only the JDK can extend it and as far as I can
     tell you can only create 3 types of ByteBuffers (Direct, Mapped
     and Heap), all of which will be handled by the more efficient
     calls above.

     That said just to make the code a bit safer from OOM it is
     probably best to update the default method and all current
     implementations which all use the same pattern.

     A reasonable solution should be the following code

                 byte[] b = new byte[(buffer.remaining() < 4096)
                         ? buffer.remaining() : 4096];
                 while (buffer.hasRemaining()) {
                     int length = (buffer.remaining() < b.length)
                             ? buffer.remaining() : b.length;
                     buffer.get(b, 0, length);
                     update(b, 0, length);
                 }

     Xueming, do you have any further comment?

     Regards,
     Staffan

         Hello,

         just a question in the default impl:

         +        } else {
         +            byte[] b = new byte[rem];
         +            buffer.get(b);
         +            update(b, 0, b.length);

would it be a good idea to actually put a ceiling on the size
         of the
         array which is processed at once?
     This is an excellent catch.
     Should not be too large, probably 4k or so.
