I don't have enough knowledge of this area, but the API changes look OK to me. With this addition of the `externalSubmit` method should the javadoc of the existing `submit` method be enhanced a bit to explain how it behaves differently as compared to this one and when to choose one over the other. For example, should `submit` API state (its already existing behaviour) that it will use the current worker thread's queue to push this new task if called from the worker thread? ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/11319
