TBH, the decision to only check this at periodic task was to avoid excess overhead. But I don't think this concern is relevant for this patch, as it would only be entered when timeout is enabled. I do have suggestions to simplify the patch:

src/hotspot/share/runtime/vmThread.cpp line 428:

> 426:         fatal("%s VM operation took too long: completed in " JLONG_FORMAT " ms (timeout: " INTX_FORMAT " ms)",
> 427:               _cur_vm_operation->name(), delay, AbortVMOnVMOperationTimeoutDelay);
> 428:       }

This duplicates `VMOperationTimeoutTask::task` body. So I think this is better to be moved to a separate method, e.g. `VMOperationTimeoutTask::check_and_fail`, which we can then call from both `::task` and `::disarm`.
