Although not obvious this method seem to require to have a ResourceMark on scope and there are several contexts where these two are call where we don't have one. The reason why a ResourceMark is needed is because OopMapCache::compute_one_oop_map() might allocate from the resource area if _mask_size is > 4 * BitsPerWord, which depends on the amount of locals + expression stack of the corresponding method. But ~InterpreterOopMap already checks if the _bit_mask was allocated in the resource area and in that case it will free it. So the ResourceMark is not strictly needed except that in debug mode we will actually hit the assert if there is not one in scope when trying to allocate the _bit_mask.

Okay. The memory management of that code "smells" a bit, but your fix addresses the observed issue.

Thanks.
