[aarch64-port-dev ] Request for Approval: Backport patches to fix volatile access inconsistency

[Yangfei (Felix)]

Hi,  

    Thank you for your prompt reply.  It's appreciated if the authors can confirm the tweaks here, especially 3, 4 and 5.

Hi Felix,

Aleksey pointed out to me that patches 3 4 and 5 are not in jdk11u. You will need to backport these to 11u before they can appear in jdk8u-aarch64. So, please negotiate this via the jdkupdates mail list and/or Fix-Requests on the relevant JIRAs.

    Fyang: OK, will do.  The good news is that patches for 3, 4 and 5 can be applied cleanly on the latest 11u repo.  We still need some necessary testing.  

Also, it will be necessary to backport each change to jdk8u separately rather than committing all 5 as a single patch.  
    
    Fyang: I did one "hg commit" for each patch, so there are 5 commits contained in the webrev.  I am assuming this is OK.  

regards,


Andrew Dinn
