Details
Right now, webvr disables access e10s, because we end up needing to access the HMD from both the content process and the compositor process. We need to resolve this. There are two ways we can do this, depending on whether we are allowed to talk to the HMD runtime from two different processes (only one of which is doing output). This seems to be the case for both Oculus and OpenVR right now with the latest runtimes, since they all delegate the output of the HMD to a compositor process, and have a service that all apps interact with. If we can talk to the HMD from two different processes, each frame should roughly look like this: [content process] - read current/predicted HMD and sensor state [content process] - do updates and requestAnimationFrame callbacks [content process] - dispatch new layers update, including HMD pose used for rendering the frame [compositor process] - take the HMD pose that frame was rendered with, do whatever postprocessing [compositor process] - present frame to HMD If we can only use the HMD from one process, then we need the HMD to be owned by the compositor process, with the content process asking for the render pose at the start of each frame. That's not much different from the above, it just requires an IPC call to happen at the start. Alternatively, the compositor can provide the next frame's pose after the layer updates are sent.

Uploaded WIP patches, will assign for review later today after a couple fixes: - Doesn’t cleanly shutdown - need to review reference counting and check for memory leaks (look for FINDME KIP! HACK!’s) - Need to split up patches to be more granular - Need to format, adjust spacing to Mozilla code standards

The updated patchset in Comment 8 includes a couple of fixes: - Cardboard VR fixed - Navigator.GetVRDevices now returns the same Javascript object in multiple calls for VR Devices that have not been remove since the last call to GetVRDevices. Previously returned a new object wrapping the same device.
These patches are now working in OSX with Oculus 0.5, Windows with Oculus 0.7 and Cardboard VR. I'm splitting the patches now and cleaning up for review.

I have done some testing on shutting down Firefox while viewing a WebVR site that has activated the Oculus sensor tracking and found that if garbage collection can delete the VRDevice on the content side too late, after the compositor has already shut down. This resulted in an unclean shutdown as the IPC to stop sensor tracking could not be completed on a disconnected protocol. I have implemented a slightly different approach in the patches added in Comment 16. Now, we send a "KeepSensorTracking" message (asynchronously) when content requests a new sensor state update, which sets a counter and starts the sensor tracking. When this counter runs down to 0, the sensor tracking is shut down. Effectively, sensor tracking is enabled automatically when reading a sensor state and remains enabled for up to a couple of seconds. Content is usually continuously polling the sensor state every frame, so this keeps the tracking active. When content is done with the sensors, it simply stops sending "KeepSensorTracking" messages.

I have assigned Vlad as the first reviewer; however, as IPDL has been changed this will require at least two r+'es. I would appreciate any feedback on this overall approach as well as the naming of the classes. I have added assertions to ensure that the classes are used on the correct threads; however, any ideas on better naming to more clearly differentiate the classes would be welcomed. I will continue testing on each platform with a focus on memory leaks, refcounting, and hot swapping events.

The only big question I have is with regards to deviceIndex -- is there a guarantee that the device index will refer to the appropriate device in light of devices being added/removed while VR mode is active? That is, will the index in the layer be correct? Also, for patches of this size in the future, splitting them up into multiple steps would be helpful -- e.g. adding the ipdl interfaces, implementing parent/child, then using them, implementing device list updates, etc. Otherwise there are a lot of hunks that are just mechanical changes or slight interface fixups that aren't really relevant to the overall review, but that clutter up the review request. ::: dom/base/nsDocument.cpp:11577 (Diff revision 6) > ReleaseHMDInfoRef(void *, nsIAtom*, void *aPropertyValue, void *) Change the name of this method to match the type that it's releasing ::: dom/vr/VRDevice.h:214 (Diff revision 6) > + RefPtr<gfx::VRDeviceProxy> aHMD, Don't pass RefPtr<> arguments; just use VRDeviceProxy*. ::: dom/vr/VRDevice.h:251 (Diff revision 6) > - HMDVRDevice(nsISupports* aParent, gfx::VRHMDInfo* aHMD) > + HMDVRDevice(nsISupports* aParent, RefPtr<gfx::VRDeviceProxy> aHMD) Don't pass RefPtr<> arguments; just pass a VRDeviceProxy *. ::: dom/vr/VRDevice.h:282 (Diff revision 6) > - explicit PositionSensorVRDevice(nsISupports* aParent) > + explicit PositionSensorVRDevice(nsISupports* aParent, RefPtr<gfx::VRDeviceProxy> aHMD) no RefPtr<> argument ::: dom/vr/VRDevice.h:292 (Diff revision 6) > + HMDPositionVRDevice(nsISupports* aParent, RefPtr<gfx::VRDeviceProxy> aHMD); no RefPtr<> ::: dom/vr/VRDevice.cpp:34 (Diff revision 6) > + nsTArray<RefPtr<VRDevice> > devices; No need for "> >", we're using modern compilers ::: dom/vr/VRDevice.cpp:53 (Diff revision 6) > + gfx::VRDeviceInfo::State_Orientation)) { nit: fix up indentation, and { on line by itself with multi-line if() statements [ so that when scanning down, the if clause doesn't blend in to the block statements ] ::: dom/vr/VRDevice.cpp:338 (Diff revision 6) > + HMDPositionVRDevice::GetState() I think there are extraneous spaces before HMDPositionVRDevice:: here, but I can't quite tell with reviewboard ::: dom/vr/VRDevice.cpp:347 (Diff revision 6) > + HMDPositionVRDevice::GetImmediateState() same spaces ::: gfx/layers/Layers.h:2186 (Diff revision 6) > - RefPtr<gfx::VRHMDInfo> mHMDInfo; > + uint32_t mVRDeviceIndex; device index?

As written, I *think* this creates an entirely new communication channel between parent and child for VR. I'm not sure if that's necessary; can VR be a sub-protocol of one of the existing top level ones, such as PBackground, or even PImageBridge?

The intent is to instantiate one VRManagerChild per content process and reduce IPC traffic as the same messages will be broadcast. PImageBridge wasn't chosen as a parent protocol as its parent runs in a separate thread than the compositor. Initially, I attempted to create a sub-protocol of PCompositor; however, my means to reach the correct VRManagerChild from nsGlobalWindow felt hack-ish. Removing the association between PCompositor and PVRManager cleaned this up a fair bit.
Please note that I am still trying to hurd some memory leaks found in my try runs. Links to try runs have been appearing in Bug 1218482. Once these are clear, I will assign these patches to review for security of the IPDL changes and by a DOM peer for the enablign in Bug 1218482.

ImageBridgeChild, which I used as an example while implementing VRManagerChild, is reported as leaked during Mochitests as well (Bug 1117203). I have applied a similar fix as in the patch for Bug 1117203 for VRManagerChild and corrected a refcount issue when assigning to sVRManagerChildSingleton. I have pushed to try to verify the fix and identify any remaining memory leaks.
The try push on 2015-11-18 shows that the leaks were fixed except for an IPC::Protocol and StoreRef (allocated by IPC Protocol). It appears that top level protocols must asynchronously destroy their Transport (IPC::Channel) on both the Child and Parent sides within their destructors. Pattern like this: XRE_GetIOMessageLoop()->PostTask(FROM_HERE, new DeleteTask<Transport>(GetTransport())); I have refactored VRManagerParent to eliminate the redundant mTransport member (ITopLevelProtocol has mTrans) and to delete the transport on the child side. Pushing to try again to see if this fixes it and if there are any more leaks or issues I haven't caught.

The last try push showed that the Transport (IPC::Channel) object leaks have been fixed; however, there are still leaks when the e10s content process crashes. The /dom/ipc/tests mochitests are reporting leaks of PVRManagerParent's and the objects they hold in these cases. I have pushed an updated patch to correct this to the try server.

https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/23337/#review22485 (Question about sub-protocol was replied in bugzilla) The last narrow-focused try push indicated that the memory leaks have been resolved; I am doing a full try push for all platforms now to verify that there aren't any more platform specific leaks or other tests failing. Do you have any more changes required for these patches before I pass on to the next reviewer?
Previous try run appears to show that the leaks have been fixed; however, there were a number of failures for Windows 7 debug. I am running a try run and attempting to reproduce locally to verify if these are co-incidental.
I was able to reproduce many of the Windows 7 debug try run failures locally, without the VR e10s patches applied. I have pushed a try run without my patches as a controlled test: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=66c9984ecf0f
As VRMessageUtils introduces new types serialized with IPC, we will require two reviews from module owners. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/IPDL/Type_Serialization “Serializers and deserializers are security-sensitive and must always receive two reviews from module owners who understand IPC serialization well.”
Latest try runs are indicating that Windows Debug builds are timing out on some tests with these patches applied, likely due to the browser not closing cleanly. I am investigating further...
