And yes, HeapDumpGzipLevel docs need to match the actual implementation. I'm not sure if HeapDumpGzipLevel has been backported to 8, 11, and 17 (in the open for for the Oracle release). I'm inclined to say a separate jbs issue should track updating docs for HeapDumpGzipLevel, but then we also have the question of whether or not HeapDumpGzipLevel should impact the jcmd if this PR is to be pushed.

HeapDumpGzipLevel is in openjdk17 and openjdk21 .
