The following test failed in the JDK17 CI:

Here's a snippet from the log file:

Here's the falling code in the test:

                while (true) {
                    retCode = suspendThread(thread);

                    if (retCode == JVMTI_ERROR_THREAD_NOT_ALIVE) {
                        // Done with SuspendThread() calls since
                        // thread is not alive.
                        break;
                    } else if (retCode != 0) {
                        throw new RuntimeException("thread " + thread.getName()
                                                   + ": suspendThread() " +
                                                   "retCode=" + retCode +
                                                   ": unexpected value.");
                    }

                    if (!thread.isAlive()) {
                        throw new RuntimeException("thread " + thread.getName()
                                                   + ": is not alive " +
                                                   "after successful " +
                                                   "suspendThread().");

The suspendThread() call worked, but the
java.lang.Thread.isAlive() API returns false.

[~rehn] - looks like we have a new race condition.
