When we grow the heap, we create a temporary "in use" span for the memory acquired from the OS and then free that span to link it into the heap. Hence, we (1) increase pagesInUse when we make the temporary span so that (2) freeing the span will correctly decrease it. However, currently step (1) increases pagesInUse by the number of pages requested from the heap, while step (2) decreases it by the number of pages requested from the OS (the size of the temporary span). These aren't necessarily the same, since we round up the number of pages we request from the OS, so steps 1 and 2 don't necessarily cancel out like they're supposed to. Over time, this can add up and cause pagesInUse to underflow and wrap around to 2^64. The garbage collector computes the sweep ratio from this, so if this happens, the sweep ratio becomes effectively infinite, causing the first allocation on each P in a sweep cycle to sweep the entire heap. This makes sweeping effectively STW. Fix this by increasing pagesInUse in step 1 by the number of pages requested from the OS, so that the two steps correctly cancel out. We add a test that checks that the running total matches the actual state of the heap. Fixes #15022. For 1.6.x.

The Go Programming Language
Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.
For documentation about how to install and use Go, visit https://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html in your web browser.
Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.
Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!
To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html
Note that we do not accept pull requests and that we use the issue tracker for bug reports and proposals only. Please ask questions on https://forum.golangbridge.org or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts.

Binary Distribution Notes
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
