Code review request, JDK-8010814, More buffers are stored or returned without cloning

[Weijun Wang]

Hi Xuelei

I'm busy on something else, so probably have no time (or cannot 
concentrate) to read in details.

In my opinion, there are several cases as to whether to clone or not:

1. MUST NOT clone, because the value must be shared so that change at 
one side appears on the other side.

2. MUST clone, public available methods that leads to security issues.

3. So so, although public methods, cannot be used to do bad things.

4. Not an issue. Internal methods.

In the patch, are the first two cases #1 or #3.

Sorry I also have no time to read

   JDK-8010814, More buffers are stored or returned without cloning
   http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~xuelei/8010815/webrev.00/

but I am not sure if those env cases belong to #1.

Thanks
Max
