JDK 9 RFR of 8168628: (ch) JVM Crash in : ~StubRoutines::jshort_disjoint_arraycopy

[Brian Burkhalter]

Please review this hopefully final patch:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bpb/8168628/webrev.02/

It is identical to webrev.01 except for the addition of a regression test which is *not* run by default as it requires a large amount of disk space

Thanks,

Brian

It was an oversight that map didn't synchronize on positionLock when extending the size and I think you'll need to extend the scope to include the mmap itself, otherwise another thread can truncate it between the resize + mmap).
