The Version table provides details related to the release that this issue/RFE will be addressed.
Unresolved : Release in which this issue/RFE will be addressed. Resolved: Release in which this issue/RFE has been resolved. Fixed : Release in which this issue/RFE has been fixed. The release containing this fix may be available for download as an Early Access Release or a General Availability Release.
In JDK-8130728 we disabled the workaround by default and have not seen any issues (other than JDK-8029453). So now the workaround can be removed completely.
Comments
There is a bug with the refactoring used in the fix - the _cur_index is being read outside the mutex (again) and so can change value.
