Java DirectByteBuffer and OOM

[Biju G.S Nair]

Hi There,
   Our application is failing with unexpected OOM when using Java
DirectByteBuffer and the fix
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6857566 currently merged to JDK 9
which includes a scaling sleep time should help us and may be others as
well who are using JDK 7. Is there a way this patch can be back ported and
merged into JDK 7 since the fix seems to be pretty straight forward. That
will be very helpful and your response is much appreciated.

Also I would like to make design proposal to the issue we are facing. Is
there a place it can be documented for review for the JDK dev team. Pls let
me know.

Thanks,
Biju
