Java DirectByteBuffer and OOM

[Biju G.S Nair]

Hi Ivan,
   Since our applications are getting killed under load due to OOM, it will
be very helpful if we can get this patch back ported so that we can use
them immediately. I am not familiar with the process of how patches are
prioritized. Please let me know if I can do anything to get priority for
this patch.

Thanks,
Biju
