    Description

      I have been rewriting JOL samples for modern JDKs, and one of the things I noticed after JDK-8153224 work is that there seem to be no way to request deflating all unused monitors.

      There is MonitorUsedDeflationThreshold which drives the deflation, but MonitorUsedDeflationThreshold=0 means "disabled". So, it is somewhat problematic for the test that has only one unused monitor to handle, which never meets the non-zero MonitorUsedDeflationThreshold threshold.

      There also used to be the escape hatch to get the previous safepoint-based deflation behavior, by setting -XX:-AsyncDeflateIdleMonitors, but it was removed with JDK-8246476.

      Rewiring the "deflation is disabled" to, say, -1, and allow rounding to match the zero threshold gives the -XX:MonitorUsedDeflationThreshold=0 the meaning of "deflate all you can".

      I think this also allows more aggressive testing of async deflation.
