Interruptible I/O on Solaris has been highly problematic and the long standing plan has been to remove it from the JDK. In JDK6 the VM option UseVMInterruptibleIO was introduced to allow developers/customers experiment with disabling it. In JDK7 the default value of UseVMInterruptibleIO was changed to be "false" so that it is disabled by default. It is now finally being removed.
This bug tracks changing the native in src/share/native/java/net and src/solaris/native/java/net so that the system calls are used directly rather than going through the JVM_* functions. http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~chegar/8034174/webrev.00/webrev/ -Chris.
