Description

The instance field GenericObjectPool.evictionPolicy is not updated in a thread-safe way.

It either needs to be made volatile, or the getters/setters could synch. on the evictionLock.
The latter is probably more sensible, as the field is used whilst holding that lock.

[Note: AFAICT, that is currently the only unsafe field in GOP]
