RFR: JDK-6546236 Thread interrupt() of Thread.sleep() can be lost on Solaris due to race with signal handler

[Frederic Parain]

Alan,

Thank you for the clarification.
There's still a bit of clean up required on the JDK
side. Three tests have hard coded usage of the
UseVMInterruptibleIO flag:

jdk/test/java/nio/file/Files/InterruptCopy.java
jdk/test/java/util/concurrent/ThreadPoolExecutor/ThrowingTasks.java
jdk/test/java/util/concurrent/BlockingQueue/Interrupt.java

Even if those tests force the flag to false, they
will fail with "Unrecognized VM option" as soon as
the UseVMInterruptibleIO goes away.

Regards,

Fred
