I would like to cherry-pick this critical bug-fix into
aarch64-port/jdk8-shenandoah:
https://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rkennke/fixracycodecacheupdate/webrev.00/
It fixes a crash that has been observed by a number of users and
customers. See for example here for details:
https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/shenandoah-dev/2020-December/014044.html
The bugfix has been in shenandoah/jdk8 for almost a week now and testing
is clean.
https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/shenandoah-dev/2020-December/014082.html
It's been confirmed that it does fix the bug. Also, it is not a risky
fix, it is contained in Shenandoah and once found, it was fairly
obvious, and it is similar is spirit to what we already do in jdk11+
(but slightly different in implementation).
Ok to push this to aarch64-port/jdk8u-shenandoah?
Thanks,
Roman
