Reviewer needed: another backport to IcedTea6 HEAD - "6934356: Vector.writeObject() serialization may deadlock"

[Pavel Tisnovsky]

Greetings,

Here's another backport I'd like to push to IcedTea6 HEAD:
"6934356: Vector.writeObject() serialization may deadlock"


I had to change the original patch in following way:

- changed line numbers for patching the file
"jdk/src/share/classes/java/util/Vector.java"

- replace the new "diamond operator" <> by the style used by JDK6, ie.:
 private static final List<Exception> exceptions = new
ArrayList<Exception>();
instead of
private static final List<Exception> exceptions = new ArrayList<>();



ChangeLog entry:

2011-07-29  Pavel Tisnovsky  <ptisnovs at redhat.com>

        * Makefile.am: added new patch
        * NEWS: updated with backport
        * patches/openjdk/6934356_Vector_writeObject_serialization_DL.patch:
        Backport of 6934356.


Can anybody please review this fix?

Cheers,
Pavel
