Please review this change for hs24 / jdku. webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sla/8005572/webrev.00/
The problem lies with the order of the newly introduced JfrBuffer_lock and JfrStream_lock compared to the MethodData_lock. There are cases where we need to take the Jfr* locks while holding the MethodData_lock. Ths solution is simply to increase the lock order for the Jfr* locks. This change has baked for a while in internal testing and showed no regressions. Thanks, /Staffan
