Shenandoah: Allow concurrent nmethod iteration

XMLWordPrintable

    • gc
    • b20

      Concurrent class unloading and heap iteration can run concurrently, they both can iterate nmethods.

      Current implementation only allow one iterator, but there is no reason for not allowing multiple iterators.

      I am surprised that we have yet seen test failures. But after I twisted concurrent weak root processing a bit, I saw the failure.
