http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/gfx/layers/client/TiledContentClient.cpp?rev=aa785fd0b16a#219 is missing the <= 2 check

Saw this while reviewing the new contributor patch in bug 1113774. Don't have time at the moment to dig into the history or implications of this bug but i can do it tomorrow if nobody gets to it before me.

This might need uplifting, please check to see which branches this affects and uplift as needed.

The typo landed a year ago so pretty much all branches are affected. I'll let it bake on central for a day or two and see how things go. Not sure whether we want to uplift all the way to beta considering we haven't seen that it caused issues so far (or haven't made the connection).
It might be related to the things benwa is trying to fix in bug 1112332.

[Blocking Requested - why for this release]:
We heavily use tiling, including low precision on B2G, every time we scroll.  This problem can lead to noticeable but hard to diagnose correctness problems.

Is this bad enough to warrant 2.0 blocking status (and a b2g32 approval request)?

I don't know how bad things need to be to warrant 2.0 blocking status, so I don't think I am the best person to answer this question. The fix is rather simple and low-risk so I would argue if favour of taking it to 2.0. forwarding the needinfo to Kats.

I would say no. I don't know how many people are running 2.0 within Mozilla anymore and if this patch were to cause regressions it's unlikely it would be noticed before it shipped to users. Based on the testing so far we don't have any concrete evidence that this typo actually manifests as something bad so I would say to leave it out of 2.0.
