RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Francesco Marchioni 2017-08-23 12:55:04 UTC 
Description of problem:
The option ExitOnOutOfMemoryError is no longer available since upgrading from openjdk 1.7.0_131 to 1.7.0_141.
There is no clue from the release notes why this option has been removed.
On the other hand, the option is available in  java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel.x86_64

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Openjdk 1.7.0_141

How reproducible:
By installing RPM packages as follows:

yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel.x86_64
java -XX:+ExitOnOutOfMemoryError -version
Unrecognized VM option 'ExitOnOutOfMemoryError'

Expected results:
java version "1.7.0_141"

Additional info:

The option works with OpenJDK8:
yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel.x86_64
java -XX:+ExitOnOutOfMemoryError -version
java version "1.8.0_60"
Comment 2 Deepak Bhole 2017-08-23 20:57:42 UTC 
Andrew, do you know if this is intentional?
Comment 3 jiri vanek 2017-08-24 14:24:54 UTC 
It probably can be returned, but only as  rpm specific patch (==not recommended) as:

$ java -X
    -Xmixed           mixed mode execution (default)
...
    -XshowSettings:locale
                      show all locale related settings and continue

The -X options are non-standard and subject to change without notice.


I tasys it all.... Sorry.
Comment 5 Andrew John Hughes 2017-09-08 17:14:35 UTC 
There seems to be some confusion here. I can see no evidence that -XX:+ExitOnOutOfMemoryError has ever been present in java-1.7.0-openjdk.

It was added to OpenJDK 8 in u92:

8138745: Implement ExitOnOutOfMemory and CrashOnOutOfMemory in HotSpot
Reviewed-by: dholmes
Contributed-by: cheleswer.sahu
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8138745

It has never been backported to OpenJDK 7.

The bug confusingly lists it as being in 7u101 and 7u111, but this is a reference to Oracle's proprietary JDK updates (java-1.7.0-oracle)

8138745 is a fairly simple fix, so we could consider backporting it as well. Generally, we've only backported changes going into 8u that have been part of security updates (odd-numbered releases such as 8u91 and 8u141), and not feature updates such as 8u92. I do have an ongoing TODO to look over the Oracle 7u updates for other changes, but it's lower priority than the security updates and ongoing RHEL requests for fixes for both 7 & 8.

Francesco, would it make it easier for you to have this option available in OpenJDK 7?
Comment 7 Andrew John Hughes 2017-10-10 16:46:35 UTC 
Scheduled for inclusion in the next upstream release, given its already in the proprietary 7 version and has no effect unless one of the new options is enabled.
