Hi Serguei,
Thank you for reviewing this version of the fix.

It could be possible when the thread that was started while the thread table
was initializing exits. At this point the thread table is initialized and the thread
tries to remove itself from it. Removing non-existing entry from ConcurrentHashTable
is a correct operation that just leaves the table unchanged.
src/hotspot/share/services/threadIdTable.cpp
233 bool ThreadIdTable::remove_thread(jlong tid) {
234 assert(_is_initialized, "Thread table is not initialized");
235 Thread* thread = Thread::current();
236 ThreadIdTableLookup lookup(tid);
237 return _local_table->remove(thread, lookup);
238 }
src/hotspot/share/utilities/concurrentHashTable.hpp
422 // Returns true if items was deleted matching LOOKUP_FUNC and
423 // prior to destruction DELETE_FUNC is called.
424 template <typename LOOKUP_FUNC, typename DELETE_FUNC>
425 bool remove(Thread* thread, LOOKUP_FUNC& lookup_f, DELETE_FUNC& del_f) {
426 return internal_remove(thread, lookup_f, del_f);
427 }
428
429 // Same without DELETE_FUNC.
430 template <typename LOOKUP_FUNC>
431 bool remove(Thread* thread, LOOKUP_FUNC& lookup_f) {
432 return internal_remove(thread, lookup_f, noOp);
433 }
src/hotspot/share/utilities/concurrentHashTable.inline.hpp
446 inline bool ConcurrentHashTable<CONFIG, F>::
447 internal_remove(Thread* thread, LOOKUP_FUNC& lookup_f, DELETE_FUNC& delete_f)
448 {
449 Bucket* bucket = get_bucket_locked(thread, lookup_f.get_hash());
450 assert(bucket->is_locked(), "Must be locked.");
451 Node* const volatile * rem_n_prev = bucket->first_ptr();
452 Node* rem_n = bucket->first();
453 bool have_dead = false;
454 while (rem_n != NULL) {
455 if (lookup_f.equals(rem_n->value(), &have_dead)) {
456 bucket->release_assign_node_ptr(rem_n_prev, rem_n->next());
457 break;
458 } else {
459 rem_n_prev = rem_n->next_ptr();
460 rem_n = rem_n->next();
461 }
462 }
463
464 bucket->unlock();
465
466 if (rem_n == NULL) {
467 return false;
468 }
Best regards,
Daniil

Hi Daniil,
This version looks good to me.
Thank you for the update!
Just one question about ThreadIdTable::remove_thread(jlong tid).
What happens if there is no thread with the specified tid in ThreadIdTable?
Is it possible?
Thanks,
Serguei
