1059564 - [e10s] Child process crash when closing tab immediately after opening

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: DOM: Content Processes, defect, P3)

Description

[Dave Townsend [:mossop]]

Attachment: log

An automated test I am working on does the following:

Load a page in a tab.
Click a link in the page which will trigger a new tab to open.
Wait for the TabOpen event.
Close the new tab immediately.

Randomly this will cause the child process to crash because the TabParent has been destroyed before the TabChild has finished initialising, specifically creating the PRenderFrame.

Attached is a log showing this happening, I added some additional logs to TabParent calls, you can see that TabParent 0x11d337c00 is created then later destroyed and its mOwnerElement nulled out. Later the child calls AllocPRenderFrameParent which fails because there is no longer a frameloader.

I can fix the test by having it wait for the tab to load before closing but I suspect this might be a common thing in browser-chrome tests so it might be a good idea to fix this.

Hi Dave,
Is this issue still reproducible or it can be closed?

There's no specific STR, so let's just close this.
