-<div class="note"> -<p>This is a description of this feature status that is currently only a patch in <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=986179">bug 986179</a>. Current behavior is simpler and causes a serious memory consumption regression (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=975367">bug 975367</a>).</p> -</div> - -<p>For the disk cache entries we keep some of the most recent and most used cache entries' meta data in memory for immediate zero-thread-loop opening. The default size of this meta data memory pool is only 250kB and is controlled by a new <code>browser.cache.disk.metadata_memory_limit</code> preference. When the limit is exceeded, we purge (throw away) first <strong>expired</strong> and then <strong>least used </strong>entries to free up memory again. </p> - -<p>Only <code>CacheEntry</code> objects that are already loaded and filled with data and having the 'consumer reference == 0' (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=942835#c3">bug 942835</a>) can be purged.</p> - -<p>The 'least used' entries are recognized by the lowest value of <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/User:Jesse/NewFrecency?title=User:Jesse/NewFrecency">frecency</a> we re-compute for each entry on its every access. The decay time is controlled by the <code>browser.cache.frecency_half_life_hours</code> preference and defaults to 6 hours. The best decay time will be based on results of <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=986728">an experiment</a>.</p> - -<p>The memory pool is represented by two lists (strong refering ordered arrays) of <code>CacheEntry</code> objects:</p> - -<ol> - <li>Sorted by expiration time (that default to 0xFFFFFFFF)</li> - <li>Sorted by frecency (defaults to 0)</li> -</ol> - -<p>We have two such pools, one for memory-only entries actually representing the memory-only cache and one for disk cache entries for which we only keep the meta data. Each pool has a different limit checking - the memory cache pool is controlled by <code>browser.cache.memory.capacity</code>, the disk entries pool is already described above. The pool can be accessed and modified only on the cache background thread.</p> - -<div id="cke_pastebin" style="position: absolute; top: 144px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden; left: -1000px;">"@mozilla.org/netwerk/cache-storage-service;1"</div> |
