Hi Daniil,

I do not see the latest webrev in this email anymore.
Is it still the v3 version?

If so then the fix looks good to me.
I like the comments you added there as they help.

I was also concerned about the compiler issue.
Thank you for pointing that it was resolved with the JDK-8195627.

Thanks,
Serguei

Hi Dean,

The blocking issue  for suspended JVMCI compiler thread in case of Graal and -XComp was 
recently solved in  JDK-8195627 " Graal] 
nsk/jdi/VirtualMachine/redefineClasses/redefineclasses026 hangs with Graal in Xcomp 
mode" .  Could you please say do you think it will not be sufficient for the case 
you described?

Just in case please find below the links to Jira and review thread for 
JDK-8195627:

     We need to understand/formulate what requirements/limits the Graal
     compiler has to follow and then negotiate it with the Compiler team.
     I feel it is not a good idea to work around these issues to make the
     tests to pass.
     Sorry that I've lost track of the discussion - will need to re-read the
     email thread thoroughly.
Thanks,
