Hi Alan,
yes, that's interesting. Sounds like a very similar problem on Mac.
I would suggest the following:
I cut out the "Async Close AIX FIX" stuff from this change (i.e.
"8031581: PPC64: Addons and fixes for AIX to pass the jdk regression
tests" and send out a new webrev for the remaining part. I think that
the remaining part was more or less reviewed and we can then push it
faster.
In the mean time, I'll recheck which tests exactly fail with my
missing "Async Close AIX FIX" stuff and which of these tests will be
fixed by your 7133499 webrev. Maybe we can really get trough with it
or with it and a few enhancements. I'll let you know my results later
today. By the way, my webrev already contained a AixNativeThread.c
implementation in src/aix/native/sun/nio/ch.
The only remaining problem I see with this approach is that we would
need to downport your 7133499 change to 8u-dev in the 8u20 time frame
to make our AIX port work. Would this be OK for you?
I'm okay with this plan and if you re-generate the webrev without the
async close changes then I can look at it quickly so that you can get it
into the stage-9 forest.
On 7133499 then it would be a good candidate for 8u-dev too, I don't
expect any problems but we will need to get it approved on the jdk8u-dev
list.
