One small observation: how important is atomicity in the "full off-heap case" ? E.g. if a `setMemory` is occurring at a location that is provably off-heap (and we should have ways to detect that, we do that also for other unsafe memory access routines), then perhaps the atomicity requirement can go (as I suppose that requirement is there for the Java Memory Model) ? So, perhaps, while we might not be able to fully optimize for on-heap access, we might be able to do so for off-heap access (which is an important case for FFM). ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/18555#issuecomment-2047288498
