-Replace do_{_if_(condition)_{_..._continute;_}_}while_{false}; with
for(;;)_{_if_(condition)_{...}_else{break;_}_} for an infinite loop
with a break logic to handle waiting concurrent gc finish during
continuation mounting. compiler might generate wrong logic for
do_while infinite loop.

-fix small hole during mounting synchronization with concurrent
scanning(for the case concurrent scanning start just before resetting
pendingmount flag-before reading the value of state for atomic update)

  • new assertion check for catching issue earlier.

I'd remove volatile here, and in other methods where used for local variables (not for a pointer to a volatile location)

while I prefer the new style, the old style should still be valid with identical effects - so I'd minimize the change and revert to the old style

this is hard to follow
either we need more comments or better we just start this loop from scratch: read oldContinuationState from continuationStatePtr and check isConcurrentlyScanned against oldContinuationState...

The change looks good now (assuming it still fixes the problem), although I have hard time believing that the part that changed while to for loop had any effect. We'll have to investigate and understand that part more...

Windows machines don't seem to be working too well atm. Edit - tried again later and it worked.

Actually, I think this assert is ambitious since it's based on newly re-read state. Another scan can start just after this one finished. It could be a rescan within the same cycle (concurrent card cleaning) or in another cycle of same type or overlapping cycle of the complement type.

My bad, no new scan can start while this is fully mounted. So, the assert is ok.

While windows and mac sanity testing failed, I don't see any real functional problems.
