Hi,
On java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingQueue#dequeue
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/src/java.base/share/classes/java/util/concurrent/LinkedBlockingQueue.java#L217
:

private E dequeue() {
    // assert takeLock.isHeldByCurrentThread();
    // assert head.item == null;
    Node<E> h = head;
    Node<E> first = h.next;
    h.next = h; // help GC
    head = first;
    E x = first.item;
    first.item = null;
    return x;
}

Why does h.next = h help GC?
