G1: j.l.ref.Reference processor always keeps alive all humongous object referents

    • gc

      The G1CopyingKeepAlive closure, when looking through referents (and only referenced by a j.l.ref.Reference), seems to unconditionally keep alive humongous object candidates (which means that they were found to be eligible for eager reclaim).

      Does not seem to be intentional. Investigate and fix if necessary.

      This is similar to JDK-8378331 for oopstorage/weakprocessor references.
