Hi Ivan,

Here's my attempt to increase multithreaded scalability of Cache:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~plevart/jdk10-dev/8186628_ssl_session_cache_scalability/webrev.01/

Haven't tested this yet, but I thought that since you already have relevant performance tests, you might want to try this, so I decided to release it as is.

Rough sketch of changes:
- replaced LinkedHashMap with ConcurrentHashMap
- CacheEntry(s) are additionaly linked into a double-linked list. DL-list management is the only synchronization point (similar to Cleaner API) and the rule is: 1st new entry is linked into DL-list, then it is put into map - published. The same with removing: 1st an entry is unlinked from DL-list, then if successfull, removed from map and invalidated. - changed the way expiry is handled so that the whole list is never needed to be scanned.

The code speaks for itself.

Let me know if you find it usefull and/or it solves the scalability bottleneck.

Regards, Peter

Hi Ivan,

I understand the desire of performance improvement.  But I don't think avoiding the use of cache is the price we want to pay for. Besides, avoiding using of session cache is not something improving the performance in general, it is typically something impacting the performance,  a lot sometimes.

The proposal is not meant to be a general solution.
Clearly, turning the session cache off will increase the average time of session creation. However, if the cache becomes the reason of a bottleneck due to high contention, then turning it off helps by just shortening the waiting time for each thread.

The option is set to true by default, i.e. the cache is used.
Only if the application is used in such a way that high contention for the cache is exposed, then the setting the option to false may help to improve performance.

With kind regards,
Ivan

Gentle ping.

If people agree on the approach, I'll go ahead and file a CCC request for the new recognized system property.

With kind regards,

Hello everybody!

The class sun.security.ssl.SSLSessionContextImpl maintains caches for the sessions reuse.
Access to the cache from threads is serialized.
It was reported that under heavy load the time of waiting for the turn to access the synchronized methods outweighs the time of creating a new session.

It is proposed to introduce a flag that will allow to avoid using the cache altogether.
Would you please help review the proposed fix?
