Please review at your convenience.
Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8152085
Patch: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bpb/8152085/webrev.00/
On Windows, when a file is locked by one process via a FileChannel, and a second process attempts a blocking lock on the same file via a FileChannel, then the thread blocking on the lock call cannot be interrupted. This patch fixes the problem by replacing the blocking lock call with polling a non-blocking lock call. I am not at all sure that this is a good solution, so should someone else have a better idea about it that they would like to share I would be happy to read it.
Thanks,
Brian
