Right now, there's a single leak threshold that applies to all kinds of processes. We're probably going to want to set a different threshold for a tab process (probably nonzero...) versus the parent process (still 0, or whatever it is on B2G). Ideally, leakThreshold would be changed from a single integer to a dictionary mapping process names to integers. I guess command line options should be set up for this, though I'm not sure who even uses those.
Just put in sane defaults and things should be fine.

Instead of a single leak threshold, we pass around a dict from processtype to threshold. This keeps the existing stuff for default processes. It also sets a reasonable threshold for where we are with tab processes, though note that right now we never actually create a log for the tab processes.

This probably doesn't really need to be a separate patch, but now that we have a reasonable threshold in place for tab processes, remove the existing code that always ignores leaks for tab processes.

(In reply to Joel Maher (:jmaher) from comment #6) > the concept of default as a process type is confusing. Yeah, it is, but I don't really want to make up a new name for this existing Gecko concept. I'll try to be more explicit in naming things that it is the default process. > Also leaving the cli flag name the same could imply that we are setting the threshold for all > processes. can we change the cli name? Sure. I can call it --default-process-leak-threshold. Though that is still kind of confusing. > if this is not set, it won't print 0. Could we put this elsewhere? I was just preserving the existing behavior, where it doesn't print out anything if the value is zero, and it only prints out the threshold once no matter how many logs there are. Do you think it is better to print out the threshold when it is zero? > in code, default implies the fallback option. are you implying the 'default > process'? if so, this couls be confusing. Yeah. I could change it to defaultProcessLeakThreshold, though that is still kind of confusing. :-/ > @@ +599,5 @@ > > self.error('Missing binary %s required for --use-test-media-devices') > > > > + options.leakThresholds = {} > > + if options.defaultLeakThreshold != 0: > > + options.leakThresholds["default"] = options.defaultLeakThreshold > > why not set it to zero here? The existing behavior is to never print out the value when it is zero. If we maintain the invariant that we never store zero, then we don't need to check. But maybe I should just check in automationutils and then store a zero or something...
Maybe some kind of phrasing like leakThresholdForDefaultProcess is less ambiguous, though getting long.

> I think it is more explicit Sounds reasonable. I was thinking I'd have to print it out once per log type, but I guess I can just hard code "default", "plugin", "tab" and "geckomediaplugin" and then assert if we see one that doesn't match that. There's also ipdlunittest, but I don't think we use that in any place where we are doing leak checking. http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/xpcom/build/nsXULAppAPI.h#366

Thanks for the reviews, it improved the patch quite a bit. Here's another try run just in case I messed something up: https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=0e15550dfb01
Backed out while mccr8 investigates some Android issues that showed up in the logs. https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/8bc6dfe614be
Retriggers appear to be pointing at this push as the cause of the below intermittent mochitest-e10s failures: https://tbpl.mozilla.org/php/getParsedLog.php?id=48995549&tree=Mozilla-Inbound
I'll land this folded into part 1. Android doesn't do leak checking, but we end up grabbing values off of options before we check that there's no leak log. A try run confirmed that the Android test harness exceptions are fixed. I also retriggered Linux64 opt e10s M3 a bunch of times and it didn't show the WebRTC errors, so with my Ozymandias hat on I'm going to blame gremlins. try run: https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=409ec0a94407
