This is a race condition where CompileQueue::free_all notifies on the lock of a Task t (line 372) and then calls CompileTask::free for the task t, which assumes t's lock is unlocked. However, if CompileBroker::wait_for_completion is currently waiting on t's lock on another thread that thread might wake up and lock the lock before free completes, triggering the assert. Applying the attached diff and running -Xcomp -XX:-TieredCompilation -XX:+StressBailout -XX:StressBailoutMean=2 -Xbatch --version reliably reproduced the issue.

Assuming that this is an old issue that only reproduces intermittently now in our CI due to -XX:+StressBailout, I target this to JDK 25. Feel free to re-target if this assumption turns out incorrect. ILW = Assert because CompileTask is locked when freed (potential memory corruption but never observed), intermittent with stress option, no workaround but avoid shutdown of compiler runtime = HLM = P3

I think the -XX:+StressBailout flag triggers a bailout during generation of runtime stubs via C2Compiler::init_c2_runtime -> OptoRuntime::generate which then leads to CompileBroker::shutdown_compiler_runtime which probably triggers an existing bug. Looking at the assert in CompileTask::free I wonder what prevents another thread from holding the lock.
