> The proposal is to encapsulate the nmethod mark for deoptimization logic in one place and only allow access to the `mark_for_deoptimization` from a closure object:
> ```C++
> class DeoptimizationMarkerClosure : StackObj {
> public:
> virtual void marker_do(Deoptimization::MarkFn mark_fn) = 0;
> };
>
> This closure takes a `MarkFn` which it uses to mark which nmethods should be deoptimized. This marking can only be done through the `MarkFn` and a `MarkFn` can only be created in the following code which runs the closure.
> ```C++
> {
> NoSafepointVerifier nsv;
> assert_locked_or_safepoint(Compile_lock);
> marker_closure.marker_do(MarkFn());
> anything_deoptimized = deoptimize_all_marked();
> }
> if (anything_deoptimized) {
> run_deoptimize_closure();
> }
>
> This ensures that this logic is encapsulated and the `NoSafepointVerifier` and `assert_locked_or_safepoint(Compile_lock)` makes `deoptimize_all_marked` not having to scan the whole code cache sound.
>
> The exception to this pattern, from `InstanceKlass::unload_class`, is discussed in the JBS issue, and gives reasons why not marking for deoptimization there is ok.
>
> An effect of this encapsulation is that the deoptimization logic was moved from the `CodeCache` class to the `Deoptimization` class and the class redefinition logic was moved from the `CodeCache` class to the `VM_RedefineClasses` class/operation.

> Testing: Tier 1-5

> Switched too using a RAII object to track the context instead of putting code in a closure. But all the encapsulation is still the same.

>> @stefank suggested splitting out unloading klass logic change into a separate issue [JDK-8291718](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8291718).
>>
>> Will probably also limit this PR to only encapsulation. (Skipping the linked list optimisation) And create a separate issue for that as well.
>>
>> But this creates a chain of three dependent issues. [JDK-8291237](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8291237) depends on [JDK-8291718](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8291718). And the link list optimisation depend will depend on [JDK-8291237](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8291237).
>>
>> Will mark this as a draft for now and create a PR for [JDK-8291718](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8291718) first.
