Exactly. As of now we don't handle the case where another handshake
operation on the same handshakee is called inside
_handshake_cl->do_thread(). If this happens we will deadlock.

Yes, that pattern actually relates with clearing _operation and predates
direct handshakes. In theory we should always call do_handshake() first
and then clear the handshake. This is what we do when the operation is
processed by the handshaker, and it is necessary to be that way,
otherwise if we clear the handshake first then the handshakee might
transition from the safe state and never see that it actually has to
stop for the handshake. Now, when the handshake operation is processed
by the handshakee itself we don't have that issue, so it doesn't matter
if we clear it before or after. The reason we do it before is to avoid
the VMThread to execute unnecessary instructions in try_process(). This
is specially true for the VM_HandshakeAllThreads operation case. If the
VMThread sees that a JavaThread doesn't have an operation set, it can
just continue to try to process the next JavaThread, instead of going
through the unnecessary steps of checking the state of the JavaThread
and trying to execute a try_wait() operation on the _processing_sem
which we know won't succeed. Now for the direct handshake case doing it
before or after doesn't really matter and so I just copied the pattern
from the non-direct case to make it consistent in that same method.

I tried to think of possible issues with that (independent of the
closure logic) but I couldn't find a specific one. If the handshakee
tries to process a pending handshake, process_by_self() will just return
without calling process_self_inner() since it will detect it is already
inside a handshake. And that behaviour makes sense since there is no
point in trying to execute a new handshake operation if you are in the
middle of another one. If the handshaker inside the closure checks for
its own pending handshakes that also seems okay (this will by itself
also check for safepoints in the transitions). Checking for safepoints
in both cases seems more tricky but I couldn't think of a concrete issue
with that.
In any case I would also avoid checking for safepoints/handshakes inside
the handshake closure. You might get issues related to the actual logic
of the closure, like the typical deadlock because of trying to grab the
same lock (although it's true that you always have to deal with that
kind of problems when checking for safepoint/handshakes), or coming back
from the safepoint/handshake and failing because some state you didn't
expect to change in the middle of the handshake actually changed.
Thanks,
Patricio
