Create a metric for total used virtual address space for Windows 32-bit. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Issue descriptionWindows 32-bit OOM-rate is directly affected by virtual address space usage, since there's a 4GB limit. A recent regression to virtual address space usage [but not commit charge] required investigation by many engineers over a several-day period to discover. A simple metric would have caught this much earlier in telemetry tests and/or canary/dev channels, and would have made it easier to debug.

There are several metrics that are interesting w.r.t. fragmentation - I suggest that as a basic first step we just report the total. :)

I think this can be useful on Android too. I remember talking to WebAssembly guys about address space exhaustion preventing allocation of large byte arrays.

Fragmentation is tricky to measure. You would need to provide a histogram that displays the number of continuous free blocks of certain sizes to have a more detailed view of the memory state. Total is a good first step proxy. |
