Here are two (plain) inlining trees with

rubyDirect=false:

                    @ 51   java.dyn.MethodHandle::invokeExact  inline (hot)
                      @ 8   sun.dyn.MethodHandleImpl$GuardWithTest::invoke_L5  inline (hot)

You can see that at @ 28 the inokeExact starts another round of inlining bench.bench_fib_recursive::method__0$RUBY$fib_ruby.  And that repeats until the inlining bails out.
