Request for Approval: 4858370: JDWP: Memory Leak: GlobalRefs never deleted when processing invokeMethod command

[Severin Gehwolf]

Hi,

Please approve and sponsor the following backport for JDK-4858370 to
JDK 7u-dev. It's the same patch as went into JDK 8. It only differs
from the 9 version in the test and in the same way as JDK 8's version
differed from 9.

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-4858370
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sgehwolf/webrevs/JDK-4858370/webrev.jdk7.01/
hg-export: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sgehwolf/webrevs/JDK-4858370/JDK-4858370-jdk8-jdk.export.patch

JDK 8 backport request thread is here:

Please let me know if there are questions.

Thanks,
