Hi Daniil,
Yes, the Threads_lock is still needed around thread->is_exiting() check and add_thread().
> And if we try to use 2 locks, ThreadTableCreate_lock as in your snippet

The ThreadTableCreate_lock is only used in the lazy_initialize() function.
It looks safe to adjust the ThreadTableCreate_lock to fix the above problem.
Then the approach below will work as needed.
void ThreadTable::lazy_initialize(const ThreadsList *threads) {
if (_is_initialized) {
return;
}
MutexLocker ml(ThreadTableCreate_lock);
if (_is_initialized) {
// There is no obvious benefits in allowing the thread table
// being concurrently populated during the initalization.
return;
}
create_table(threads->length());
_is_initialized = true;
for (uint i = 0; i < threads->length(); i++) {
JavaThread* thread = threads->thread_at(i);
oop tobj = thread->threadObj();
if (tobj != NULL) {
jlong java_tid = java_lang_Thread::thread_id(tobj);
MutexLocker ml(Threads_lock);
if (!thread->is_exiting()) {
// Must be inside the lock to ensure that we don't add the thread to the table
// that has just passed the removal point in ThreadsSMRSupport::remove_thread()
add_thread(java_tid, thread);
}
}
}
}
If you rename ThreadTable to ThreadIdTable then the ThreadTableCreate_lock
has to be renamed to ThreadIdTableCreate_lock.
Thanks,
Serguei

Just to remind, webrev.05 was abandoned and webrev.06 [1] is webrev.04 [3] minus changes in src/hotspot/share/services/management.cpp (that were factored out to a separate issue [4]) and plus a change in ThreadsList::find_JavaThread_from_java_tid() method (please, see below) that addresses the problem Robbin found and puts the code that adds a new thread to the thread table inside Threads_lock.
