Metaspace::contains() should be threadsafe

XMLWordPrintable

    • b22

        Metaspace::contains() is used in many places. It is not threadsafe since it walks the list of metaspace mappings, which can be altered concurrently. This is suspected to be the cause for JDK-8271124.

        This is a day zero bug of metaspace, in there since JDK 8. Weirdly enough it never surfaced until now.

        Currently, it does not lock, and adding a lock is not realistic either. It should work lockless. (See discussion in comment section of JDK-8271124).
