I think you want to use thread_variable_get here

Nice. Didn't even see those had been added. Using those instead.

I'm pretty sure we don't want those. The fiber methods got the short name because they're the ones that people actually want 99% of the time... if you're not doing something very particular, what you really want is a "current-execution-stack-local" variable, and that's what fiber-locals give you.

As I confusingly mis-stated [and then corrected] around #19693 (comment), our existing internal usage is in PerThreadRegistry, which is actually per-fiber.

So, I think 301f438 should be reverted.

Anyone knows any reason why thread_mattr_accessor would be undefined when using jruby?
I'm having an issue with a gem I created (which depends on rails) where thread_mattr_accessor works fine when using MRI but is undefined when running with jruby.
