There's no good reason why these should't just be constants. The patch also
appends "MiB" to some of the C++ values to make their meaning clearer.
This patch fixes one outright bug, and one inconsistency.
The bug is due to a prefname mismatch:
- ContentPrefs.cpp and AvailableMemoryTracker.cpp use
"memory.low_virtual_mem_threshold_mb".
- all.js uses "memory.low_virtual_memory_threshold_mb".
Which means that "memory.low_virtual_memory_threshold_mb" showed up in
about:config, but if you changed it nothing would happen because the callback
listened for changes to to "memory.low_virtual_mem_threshold_mb"!
Now for the inconsistency. The above means we actually use a value of 256 for
the virtual memory threshold, even though all.js says 128. But we *do* use a
value of 128 for the commit space threshold, because that's what all.js says
and that prefname is used correctly everywhere. The patch changes the commit
space threshold to 256 for consistency with the virtual memory threshold.
What a mess!
Free dirty pages appear as "page-cache" in about:memory reports, but
when minimizing memory, and more generally, on memory pressure, they're
currently not force-free()ed on desktop, while they are on mobile.
There doesn't seem to be much reason not to do it on desktop as well,
and it should help reduce the noise in "explicit" allocations measurements
on CI, too.
This patch removes checking of all the callback calls in memory reporter
CollectReport() functions, because it's not useful.
The patch also does some associated clean-up.
- Replaces some uses of nsIMemoryReporterCallback with the preferred
nsIHandleReportCallback typedef.
- Replaces aCallback/aCb/aClosure with aHandleRepor/aData for CollectReports()
parameter names, for consistency.
- Adds MOZ_MUST_USE/[must_use] in a few places in nsIMemoryReporter.idl.
- Uses the MOZ_COLLECT_REPORT macro in all suitable places.
Overall the patch reduces code size by ~300 lines and reduces the size of
libxul by about 37 KiB on my Linux64 builds.
The bulk of this commit was generated with a script, executed at the top
level of a typical source code checkout. The only non-machine-generated
part was modifying MFBT's moz.build to reflect the new naming.
