[7u-dev] request for approval 8013809 deadlock in SSLSocketImpl between between write and close

[Xuelei Fan]

Hi,

This is a request to backport a JDK 8 fix into JDK 7u-dev:
    8013809: deadlock in SSLSocketImpl between between write and close

The fix has already been pushed to JDK 8:
    http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/8c7cf4926157

The code changes for jdk7u are identical to the ones in jdk8.

It is a regression and result in serious deadlock in applications. We
need to address the issue in all impacted releases.

Thanks,
Xuelei
