    94   // all threads in critical regions to complete, but not allowing
    95   // other critical regions to be entered. The reasons for that are:
    96   // 1) a GC request won't be starved by overlapping JNI critical
    97   //    region activities, which can cause unnecessary OutOfMemory errors.
    98   // 2) even if allocation requests can still be satisfied before GC locker
    99   //    becomes inactive, for example, in tenured generation possibly with
   100   //    heap expansion, those allocations can trigger lots of safepointing
   101   //    attempts (ineffective GC attempts) and require Heap_lock which
   102   //    slow down allocations tremendously.
   103   //
