Package: openjdk-8 Version: 8u102-b14.1-1 Severity: serious Tags: upstream patch Control: forwarded -1 https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8164293
Hi, Please consider cherry picking the fix for JDK-8164293, which is a memory leak in the hotspot compiler. The effect is that the Java process silently leaks memory on an OS level (but Java itself does not see it, so it is invisible in APM-based/agent-based monitoring). My understanding is that it effectively breaks Java-based web applications and related containers (e.g. tomcat, jetty, jenkins). I have confirmed via sources.debian.net that the unpatched code is in the hotspot.tar.xz inside the source package in 8u121-b13-2 and the version in backports.
