+  // other critical regions to be entered. The reasons for that are:
+  // 1) a GC request won't be starved by overlapping JNI critical
+  //    region activities, which can cause unnecessary OutOfMemory errors.
+  // 2) even if allocation requests can still be satisfied before GC locker
+  //    becomes inactive, for example, in tenured generation possibly with
+  //    heap expansion, those allocations can trigger lots of safepointing
+  //    attempts (ineffective GC attempts) and require Heap_lock which
+  //    slow down allocations tremendously.
+  //
+  // Note that critical regions can be nested in a single thread, so
+  // we must allow threads already in critical regions to continue.
+  //
+  // JNI critical regions are the only participants in this scheme
+  // because they are, by spec, well bounded while in a critical region.
+  //
+  // Each of the following two method is split into a fast path and a slow
+  // path. JNICritical_lock is only grabbed in the slow path.
+  // _needs_gc is initially false and every java thread will go
+  // through the fast path (which does the same thing as the slow path
+  // when _needs_gc is false). When GC happens at a safepoint,
+  // GC_locker::is_active() is checked. Since there is no safepoint in the
+  // fast path of lock_critical() and unlock_critical(), there is no race
+  // condition between the fast path and GC. After _needs_gc is set at a
+  // safepoint, every thread will go through the slow path after the safepoint.
+  // Since after a safepoint, each of the following two methods is either
+  // entered from the method entry and falls into the slow path, or is
+  // resumed from the safepoints in the method, which only exist in the slow
+  // path. So when _needs_gc is set, the slow path is always taken, till
+  // _needs_gc is cleared.
