webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mbilla/8170938/webrev.01/ (whitespace corrected) Evaluation: Earlier fix for JDK-8164792 had an issue like unprotectImpl is being called even though the JSObject is not GC protected. Currently we create JSObject at 3 places (one from native, two places from java-wrappers - NodeImpl and DOMWindowImpl). Currently we have 3 types of below peer types : static final int JS_CONTEXT_OBJECT = 0; static final int JS_DOM_NODE_OBJECT = 1; static final int JS_DOM_WINDOW_OBJECT = 2; From native , JSObject is being created with peer type of JS_CONTEXT_OBJECT and since this object is GC protected from native, we need to make sure that only this peer type JSObject is being called for unprotectImpl via Disposer. Now while creating JSObject, before we add the JSObject to Disposer, we check for peer type JS_CONTEXT_OBJECT and this is the change from the previous fix of JDK-8164792.
