Customer Impact
The JIT may crash when compiling functions involving a particular code pattern with multiple intertwined loops. In these cases the JIT internally fails to find the correct first basic block corresponding to a loop, and unexpectedly runs out of basic blocks as a result. Reported in #101695 and blocks flow into ASP.NET.
Regression
Introduced in #96995 and exposed subsequently by #99827.
Testing
Manually verified that the ASP.NET test case no longer crashes.
Risk
Low. The fix makes the query to find the first basic block corresponding to a loop more robust.
