[8u-dev] Request for approval for CR JDK-8065579 - WB method to start G1 concurrent mark cycle should be introduced

[Shafi Ahmad]

Hi,

 

I'd like approval for a jdk8 backport of JDK-8065579 - WB method to start G1 concurrent mark cycle should be introduced.

The changeset from  jdk9 applies with small conflict [Conflict is due difference in file path name i.e. gc_implementation => gc].

 

Jdk9 Bug#: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8065579

Backport Bug#: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8144464

Jdk9 Changeset: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/hs-gc/hotspot/rev/1c207cfc557b

Jdk8 review thread: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-dev/2015-December/021039.html

 

Regards,

Shafi
