Flushing task queues is inherently dangerous, and we should remove it from our code base. This bug covers removing it from WMFMediaDataDecoder.
A simpler patch that doesn't rely on machinery in bug 1155433. Maybe we should uplift this, as I think it may help with the shutdown hangs we're seeing.

Remove the MediaTaskQueue flushes. I don't want to wait for the machinery that bholley is working on to make task queue tasks opportunistically cancel-able, as that should not be uplifted, and I think getting rid of the flushes should help with that shutdown hang and orange and so should be uplifted.

And I think we should rewrite this to use whatever bholley comes up with in bug 1155433, once we have that.

Patch: Bespoke flush

Review of attachment 8594297 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

What about the other platforms? They all flush the task queue when Flush() is called.

Also, this implementation doesn't take care of theoretical case where we have multiple pending Input() in the task queue (isn't that what MediaTaskQueue::Flush( would have handled?) as only the first processed Input() will clear mIsFlushing and next ones would still add samples to the queue.

this in theory seems wrong to me.
You shutdown the MFTMenager and decoder, then wait for any pending decoding to complete.
Pending decoding that could make use of mMFTManager (that is now nullptr).

Now in practice it doesn't matter as the reader would have called Flush() prior to calling Shutdown() so there's nothing to wait on anymore ; plus the ProcessShutdown() task won't be called until Decode() task has completed.

But for clarity sake, either the call to ProcessShutdown is to be done after we've waited for pending decoding to complete, or not bother waiting at all with a line explaining why.

I think that in case of error, the queue should be emptied for clarity

why use an intermediary sample object?
mInput is a queue of nsRefPtr, just doing mInput.pop() is enough, as queue::pop will call the element destructor.

There's the MediaSampleQueue object defined in MP4Reader, maybe we should generalise that object

I think the name mIsRunning is a bit confusing (and it got me confused trying to understand how things worked), as mRunning indicates that a sample is currently being decoded and not that the entire decoder is "running". So that Shutdown() doesn't change mRunning.

mIsDecoding would seem more appropriate to describe what this boolean represent.

I don't shutdown the MFTManager and then wait for decoding to complete. It's more like the opposite.

ProcessShutdown() is not run synchronously, it's put on the end of the task queue. So if we have a task to run ProcessDecode() already in the queue it will run before the ProcessShutdown() task runs. So it's more like the opposite; if we have a ProcessDecode() task running, it'll finish first, then we'll destroy the MFTManager.

We need way to signal that we call mDecoder->Flush(). We don't want to do it every time we've pushed all our input into the MFT; only when we need the decoder to drop anything it's buffered.

One at a time. The WMF backend is also the one I'm most familiar with, and the one we have that shutdown hang bug filed against.

I don't think that case is a problem.

Note there are two task queues here; the "decode" task queue, and the "video decode" task queue (WMFMediaDataDecoder::mTaskQueue). They're not the same task queue. We were flushing WMFMediaDataDecoder::mTaskQueue, not the decode task queue. Calls to WMFMediaDataDecoder::Input() happen on the decode task queue, so they won't be affected by flushing WMFMediaDataDecoder::mTaskQueue.

Also note that MediaDataDecoder::Flush() is supposed to block until it's completed flushing everything that was input before the flush. So if we had Flush() and Input() tasks in the decode task queue, it's correct for everything before the Flush() to be dropped by the time the Flush() finishes, and the Input() tasks in the decode task queue after the Flush() to not be flushed.

but it doesn't wait for all Input() to be completed here. It only waits for the first one to complete (as the first one will clear mIsFlushing(), and any samples added by pending Input() wouldn't be dropped either.

It's the EnsureDecodeTaskDispatched started by Flush() that should clear mIsFlushing, and any samples being input between the time Flush() is called, and EnsureDecodeTaskDispatched started by flush run, should be dismissed.

or am I missing something?

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/regressing bug #]:Video playback on Windows
[User impact if declined]: I think this patch probably fixes some potential shutdown hangs on Windows after video playback.
[Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: We have lots of mochitests covering video playback.
[Risks and why]: I think it's lowish risk; it could adversely affect video playback, but the tests are looking good with this patch.
[String/UUID change made/needed]: None

Anything which fix the shutdown hang is good. Taking the risk.
Should be in 38 beta 7.
