Hi all,
I'd like one more review for this small fix:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~tonyp/7040450/webrev.0/
The problem was that the assert at the end of mark_forwardee() was too
strong and if another thread self-forwarded the object we might have hit
the assert before the other thread got a chance to set the evacuation
failure flag. I removed the assert (as it's not straightforward to make
it work in the presence of this race) and I added two new asserts in the
evacuation handling code to make sure that the post-conditions are as
expected before we get to mark_forwardee().
Tony
