(to trunk only, since this isn't really important enough to push to 3.x IMO)
For future reference, a few helpful things to do to ease the commit burden:
* update CHANGES.txt with the title of the JIRA

> BufferPool: allocating thread for new chunks should acquire directly
> --------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: CASSANDRA-14832
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14832
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Jon Meredith
> Assignee: Jon Meredith
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 4.0
>
>
> When BufferPool does not have any free Chunks to satisfy a request, the
> calling thread allocates a new large block of memory which it breaks up into
> chunks and adds to the free chunks queue, then pulls from the queue to
> satisfy it's own allocation.
> If enough other threads request chunks it is possible for the queue to be
> exhausted before the original allocating thread is able to pull of it's own
> allocation, causing the original allocator to loop and attempt to allocate
> more memory. This is unfair to the original caller and may cause it to block
> on a system call to allocate more memory.
> Instead of the current behavior, allocateMoreChunks could hold back one of
> the chunks and return it to the caller instead so that it will at most call
> allocate once.
