I don't really know how to read this. We're asking a nio buffer to give us back a memory segment. There's two kinds of memory segment: heap segments and native segments (as the javadoc of memory segment clearly states). So, if `nativeSegment` is creating either a native segment (which can also be mapped), what does the other do, if not creating an heap segment? ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/21764#discussion_r1825253368
