NET 7: Calling GC.Collect() causes Access Violation exception (cx0000005) #79486

Description

@nilekirk

Description

Calling GC.Collect() when having sufficiently large objects in LOH and using the Server Garbage Collection causes Access Violation exception (cx0000005) being thrown from coreclr.dll

CoreCLR Version: 7.0.22.51805
.NET Version: 7.0.0
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: exception code c0000005

We have seen this on Windows 10 Enterprise and on Windows Server 2016

Reproduction Steps

Code

open System
[<Struct>]
type T = {
A: DateTime
B: int
C: float
D: byte }
let data: T array = Array.zeroCreate 2_000_000_000
GC.Collect()
printfn "All OK"

Project file

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
<PropertyGroup>
<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
<TargetFramework>net7.0</TargetFramework>
<ServerGarbageCollection>true</ServerGarbageCollection>
</PropertyGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<Compile Include="Program.fs" />
</ItemGroup>
</Project>

Run this with dotnet run -c release

Changes that leads to program running OK

  • Allocating with size 1_000_000_000
  • Changing the order of B and C in the struct

Expected behavior

The program writes All OK to the console.

Actual behavior

The program crashes and we see in the Event log that The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception with exception code c0000005

Regression?

We never saw this on NET 6, but it appeared immediately efter we upgraded to NET 7.
