// OldToYoungRootsTask

// A GC thread executing this tasks divides the generation (old gen)
// into slices and takes a stripe in the slice as its part of the
// work.
//
//      +===============+        slice 0
//      |  stripe 0     |
//      +---------------+
//      |  stripe 1     |
//      +---------------+
//      |  stripe 2     |
//      +---------------+
//      |  stripe 3     |
//      +===============+        slice 1
//      |  stripe 0     |
//      +---------------+
//      |  stripe 1     |
//      +---------------+
//      |  stripe 2     |
//      +---------------+
//      |  stripe 3     |
//      +===============+        slice 2
//      ...
//
// A task is created for each stripe.  In this case there are 4 tasks
// created.  A GC thread first works on its stripe within slice 0
// and then moves to its stripe in the next slice until all stripes
// exceed the top of the generation.  Note that having fewer GC threads
// than stripes works because all the tasks are executed so all stripes
// will be covered.  In this example if 4 tasks have been created to cover
// all the stripes and there are only 3 threads, one of the threads will
// get the tasks with the 4th stripe.  However, there is a dependence in
// CardTableExtension::scavenge_contents_parallel() on the number
// of tasks created.  In scavenge_contents_parallel the distance
// to the next stripe is calculated based on the number of tasks.
// If the stripe width is ssize, a task's next stripe is at
// ssize * number_of_tasks (= slice_stride).  In this case after
// finishing stripe 0 in slice 0, the thread finds the stripe 0 in slice1
// by adding slice_stride to the start of stripe 0 in slice 0 to get
// to the start of stride 0 in slice 1.
