A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
There is potential problem in map() method in implementation of sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl class.
The problem is that the "new FileChannelImpl.Unmapper(...)" and later newMappedByteBuffer(...) invorkation will not wrapped in try-catch, but object creation MAY cause to throw OutOfMemoryError. If this happens, the previously mapped memory is not unmapped, and no way to release it.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile("/tmp/1.tmp", "rw");
FileChannel fc = raf.getChannel();
...do fill heap...
try{
MappedByteBuffer buf = fc.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_WRITE, start, len);
}catch(IOException ex){
//MAY off-heap memory leak
}
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced rarely.
