> We have a few reports that existing Weak* VarHandle tests are still flaky, for example on large AArch64 machines or small RISC-V machines.
>
> The flakiness is intrinsic to the nature of Weak* operations under tests, that can spuriously fail. The last attempt to fix these was [JDK-8155739](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8155739). We need to strengthen these a bit more.
>
> The actual values depend on the successful testing on known-failing platforms. I ballparked bumping the attempts 5x and introducing the delay would help without exploding test time in worst cases.
