IV20647: ASSERT FAILURE IN COPYFORWARDSCHEME.CPP

APAR status

Error description

• Error Message: ASSERTION FAILED ** at CopyForwardScheme.cpp:650:
  ((pool->getActualFreeMemorySize() <= region->getSize()))

  Stack Trace:

Local fix

Problem summary

• Free memory wasted by hot field alignment occasionally is not
  properly accounted. We would update this stats even before we
  are sure the object is copied by the current thread. There may
  be another thread that just copied this objects a moment before.
  

Problem conclusion

• This defect will be fixed in:
  6.0.1 SR2
  7.0.0 SR1
  .
  The fix is to move the stats update code at a later point where
  we are sure the current thread is the one that copies the
  object.
  

Temporary fix
