[8u-dev] Request for approval for CR 8181659: Create an alternative fix for JDK-8167102, whose fix was backed out

[Anton Litvinov]

Hello,

I would like to request for approval to push a straight backport of the 
fix from JDK 10 to JDK 8. The changeset from JDK 10 applies to JDK 8 
after correction of file paths.

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8181659
JDK 10 changeset: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/client/rev/baad9dc0eab1
JDK 10 review thread:
     Approval 1 - 
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/2d-dev/2017-November/008733.html
     Approval 2 - 
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/2d-dev/2017-December/008745.html
Reviewers: prr, serb

Thank you,
Anton
