> Chasing the root cause of JDK-8372498, I have narrowed down root cause to the commit https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/commit/f8cf9ca69cfef286c80559bfe1d147b6303d10d2
> 
> It is caused by the behavior change from follow code:

> Original:

>   if (ShenandoahSATBBarrier) {
>     T* array = dst;
>     HeapWord* array_addr = reinterpret_cast<HeapWord*>(array);
>     ShenandoahHeapRegion* r = _heap->heap_region_containing(array_addr);
>     if (is_old_marking) {
>       // Generational, old marking
>       assert(_heap->mode()->is_generational(), "Invariant");
>       if (r->is_old() && (array_addr < _heap->marking_context()->top_at_mark_start(r))) {
>         arraycopy_work<T, false, false, true>(array, count);
>       }
>     } else if (_heap->mode()->is_generational()) {

> With the new STAB barrier code for arraycopy_marking, if is it young GC and the array is in old region, but array is above TAMS, arraycopy_work won't be applied anymore, so we may have missed some pointers in SATB in such case.
