        This issue tracks reverting the changes in JDK-8168628 so that RandomAccessFile.setLength and the FileChannel.map do not call ftruncate64 to pre-allocate disk space. The background to this issue is that JDK-8168628 was mis-diagnosed, the real issue is that bulk transfer operations using Unsafe copyMemory lack memory guards. This requires changes in HotSpot and is tracked as JDK-8191278.
