It is still possible to have the same pair of objects being locked with per-library lock, namely when a library being loaded explicitly loads a class that requires the same library to be loaded. I think this type of design flaw cannot be solved by changing locking algorithm. It's clearly not the goal of this patch. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/3976
