Set extent as active prior to registration so that other threads can't modify it in the absence of locking. This regression was introduced by d27f29b468ae3e9d2b1da4a9880351d76e5a1662 (Disentangle arena and extent locking.), via non-obvious means. Removal of extents_mtx protection during extent_grow_retained() execution opened up the race, but in the presence of that locking, the code was safe. This resolves #599.
jemalloc is a general purpose malloc(3) implementation that emphasizes fragmentation avoidance and scalable concurrency support. jemalloc first came into use as the FreeBSD libc allocator in 2005, and since then it has found its way into numerous applications that rely on its predictable behavior. In 2010 jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer support features such as heap profiling and extensive monitoring/tuning hooks. Modern jemalloc releases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD, and therefore versatility remains critical. Ongoing development efforts trend toward making jemalloc among the best allocators for a broad range of demanding applications, and eliminating/mitigating weaknesses that have practical repercussions for real world applications. The COPYING file contains copyright and licensing information. The INSTALL file contains information on how to configure, build, and install jemalloc. The ChangeLog file contains a brief summary of changes for each release. URL: http://jemalloc.net/
