> Issue: The assertion failure , `assert(!success || (C->macro_count() == (old_macro_count - 1))) failed: elimination must have deleted one node from macro list`, occurs when [loop striping mining  ](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8186027)may create a [MaxL](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8324655)  after macro expansion.
> 
> Analysis : Before the macro nodes are expanded in` expand_macro_nodes`, there is a process where nodes from the macro list are eliminated. This also includes elimination of  any `OuterStripMinedLoop` node in the macro list. The bug occurs due to the refining of the strip mined loop in `adjust_strip_mined_loop` function just before it is eliminated. In this case, a` MaxL` node is added to the macro list in `adjust_strip_mined_loop`. 
> 
> Fix: The fix involves performing the refining of the strip mined loop before elimination process. More specifically, moving the `adjust_strip_mined_loop` function outside the elimination loop.
> 
> Improvement:  The process of eliminating macro nodes by calling `eliminate_macro_nodes` and performing additional Opaque and LoopLimit nodes elimination in ` expand_macro_nodes` is unintuitive as suggested in [JDK-8325478 ](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8325478) and the current fix should be moved along with the other elimination code.
