HI, Request reviews for backport of bug# 8006395 to jdk7u : http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mbankal/8006395/webrev.00/ Brief Description : Race in the socket asynchronous close mechanism on Linux which can lead to blocking socket operations issue is with closefd which first sends wakeup signal to all the threads blocked on the fd , then closes/dup2 the fd.
