This, in turn, meant that (generational) ZGC has not correctly reported its heap usage via the NMT JFR events. We (as in Oracle) never saw this issue in testing, as we didn't run this test for all possible GC configurations. With an update of our test configurations this is no longer the case: We run this test for all possible GCs and the test now fails for generational ZGC.
