Hi,

According to discussion here:

http://cs.oswego.edu/pipermail/concurrency-interest/2016-September/015414.html

it seems compact strings introduced (at least theoretical) non-benign data race into String.hasCode() method.

Here is a proposed patch:

For the bug:

    https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8166842

Looks good to me too.
