The reason we picked that model for JDK 8 Updates at the time was to have a central place to document and discuss decisions about which changes get approved into 8u (jdk8u-dev, in this case), without requiring the developers most likely to be able to review backports to sign up for another mailing list where they wouldn't (need to) care about most of the on-list review & approval traffic.

Hi,

Doesn't this have to be posted to jdk8u-dev?

The approval requests need to go to jdk8u-dev. The reviews can happen on
the appropriate list, which may or may not be jd8u-dev - it typically is
the list where the initial change was discussed.

I had a look at the backport.
Including 7127191 confused me a bit. Is it good to hide the fact that
this was backported in the repository?
In os_linux one fix is missing, is this on purpose? I don't think this is a
critical issue, though, so leaving it out is fine.

the dropping of the changes to ...
src/share/vm/runtime/task.cpp  and
src/os/windows/vm/attachListener_windows.cpp
These changes are included in the webrev ...?

The webrev looks good to me.

Best regards,
    Goetz.

Subject: [8u] [RFR] 8140482: Various minor code improvements (runtime)

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8140482
Original changeset:
https://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk-
updates/jdk9u/hotspot/rev/cd86b5699825
Webrev:
https://cr.openjdk.java.net/~andrew/openjdk8/8140482/webrev.01/

The patch largely applies as is, with some adjustment for context and
the dropping of the changes to src/cpu/x86/vm/stubRoutines_x86.cpp,
src/share/vm/runtime/task.cpp and
src/os/windows/vm/attachListener_windows.cpp
which don't exist in 8u. A clean backport of 7127191 is included, which
allows the changes to agent/src/os/linux/libproc_impl.c to apply as-is.

Applying the change to 8u improves the code quality there and aids
in backporting other changes, such as 8210836 [0].

Ok for 8u?
