Yes, that looks like a good solution.

The problem is however, that these constants are hardcoded as public final static members of various, shared Java classes. We therefore have to map them from Java to native every time before calling one of the native poll functions and back to Java after the call on AIX in order to get the right semantics.

This change makes the implementation more robust on platforms which support symbolic links but do not support the O_NOFOLLOW flag to the open system call. It also makes the JDK pass the demo/zipfs/basic.sh test on AIX.

"..The close() subroutine is blocked until all subroutines which use the file descriptor return to usr space. For example, when a thread is calling close and another thread is calling select with the same file descriptor, the close subroutine does not return until the select call returns...". To fix this problem, we have to use the various NET_ wrappers which are declared in net_util_md.h and defined in aix_close.c and we also need some additional wrappers for fcntl(), read() and write() on AIX.
>> While the current solution isn't really nice because it introduces some more AIX-specifc sections in shared code, I think it is the best way to go for JDK 8 because it imposes the smallest possible changes and risks for the existing platforms. I'm ready to change the code to unconditionally use the wrappers for all platforms and implement the wrappers empty on platforms which don't need any wrapping. I think it would also be nice to clean up the names (e.g. NET_Read() is currently a wrapper for recv() and the NET_ prefix is probably not appropriate any more so maybe change it to something like IO_). But again, I'll prefer to keep that as a follow up change for JDK9.
>> Calling fsync() on a "read-only" file descriptor on AIX will result in an error (i.e. "EBADF: The FileDescriptor parameter is not a valid file descriptor open for writing."). To prevent this error we have to query if the corresponding file descriptor is writeable. Notice that at that point we can not access the writable attribute of the corresponding file channel so we have to use fcntl().
>> src/solaris/classes/java/lang/UNIXProcess.java.aix
>> 
>> On AIX the implementation is especially tricky, because the close() system call will block if another thread is at the same time blocked in a file operation (e.g. 'read()') on the same file descriptor. We therefore combine the AIX ProcessPipeInputStream implemenatation with the DeferredCloseInputStream approach used on Solaris (see UNIXProcess.java.solaris). This means that every potentially blocking operation on the file descriptor increments a counter before it is executed and decrements it once it finishes. The 'close()' operation will only be executed if there are no pending operations. Otherwise it is deferred after the last pending operation has finished.
>> src/share/transport/socket/socketTransport.c
>> 
>> On AIX we have to call shutdown() on a socket descriptor before closing it, otherwise the close() call may be blocked. This is the same problem as described before. Unfortunately the JDI framework doesn't use the same IO wrappers like other class library components so we can not easily use the NET_ abstractions from aix_close.c here.
>> Without this small change all JDI regression tests will fail on AIX because of the way how the tests act as a "debugger" which launches another VM (the "debugge") which connects itself back to the debugger. In this scenario the "debugge" can not shut down itself because one thread will always be blocked in the close() call on one of the communication sockets.
