HI, These changes have been reviewed earlier. Requesting approval to integrate to 7u60. 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. But since signal may arrive in between these , the thread not blocked needs to see that fd is closed on entry, else it will be woken up by the signal. JDK8 changeset is here : http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/17b643956999 rgds mala
