Attached patch A reftest (obsolete) — Splinter Review
      No description provided.
In bug 1273042 I did miss that stacking context is not created if OMTA is disabled.
Summary: Create a stacking context for transform animations with 'backface-visibility:hidden' on 'transform:none' segment → Create a stacking context for transform/opacity animations on 'transform:none' segment even OMTA is disabled
Summary: Create a stacking context for transform/opacity animations on 'transform:none' segment even OMTA is disabled → Create a stacking context for transform/opacity animations on 'transform:none'/'opacity:1' segment even if OMTA is disabled
I've noticed that we should create a stacking context when animation is paused on transform:none or opacity:1.
I am going to add such test cases in this bug.
Oh gosh. I missed fill:forwards case at [1].  We need nsLayoutUtils::HasInEffectAnimationOfProperty here in this bug and change it to nsLayoutUtils::HasCurrentOrInEffectAnimationOfProperty (or IsRelevantAnimationOfProperty) in bug 1223658.

https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/02145adb5fc0#l1.13
I've decided that I will handle fill:forwards or paused or running on the main-thread on a transform:none or 100% opacity segment here and handle setTarget/setKeyframes cases in bug 1279403, and handle delay phase cases in bug 1223658.  As a result, the part 5 patch in bug 1223658 will be much simpler.
We already have a wrapper named nsIFrame::BackfaceIsHidden().

We want to know that an nsIFrame has a transform or opacity animations
regardless of its state, e.g., running on the main-thead, paused or
finished but in fill:forwards state, to create a stacking context
for the animation.

We have to create stacking context for transform or opacity animations
no matter what the animation state is, e.g. paused, unabled to run on the
compositor or has fill:forwards.

fill:backwards is also in-effect so perhaps we should say "i.e. running or filling" instead of "i.e. running or finished but fill:forwards"?

I don't understand this change. We are changing from checking if we have "current" animations to "in effect" animations, but "in effect" doesn't include animations in their delay phase with fill:none or fill:forwards (whereas "current" does). Is that change intended? (Or is there no change because GetAnimationOfProperty checks mWinsInCascade and that returns false when we are in the delay phase with no backwards fill?) It seems like we want to continue returning true for animations in their delay phase.

I am sorry for the confustion.  Yes, it's intentional.  For delay phase, I am going change nsLayoutUtils::HasInEffectAnimationOfProperty to nsLayoutUtils::HasRelevantAnimationOfProperty in bug 1223658.

Does this mean we're introducing a regression between these two bugs?

No. This bug creates stacking context for 'in effect' animations regardless of its playing state, e.g. running on the main-thread, etc.  Bug 1223658 will create stacking context in delay phase in addition to 'in effect' animations.

Ok. From what I can tell, for an animation with no backwards fill that has yet to start, nsIFrame::IsTransformed() currently returns true, but with this patch it will return false. Likewise for nsIFrame::HasOpacityInternal(). Similarly, for such an animation, nsFrame::Init will currently set the NS_FRAME_MAY_BE_TRANSFORMED, but with this patch it will not. Is that right? If it is, are we sure that doesn't have other side effects?

Ah, right. I did totally miss the case. Thanks. 
Then, we should create stacking context for animations in delay phase as well in this bug, and send the animations to the compositor in bug 1223658.

Though I did not realize at all, fill:backwards animations which can run on the compositor consume the main thread until it's active.  This behavior also fixes in bug 1223658.

Bug 1278136 - Part 1:  Add nsLayoutUtils::HasRelevantAnimationOfProperty.

Brian, I am sorry for sending review requests repeatedly, and thank you for taking your time in your busy work.

Now I've changed nsLayoutUtils::HasInEffectAnimationOfProperty to HasRelevantAnimationOfProperty to check both of in-effect and current for creation of stacking context in delay phase.
And also I've added additional test cases for stacking contest in delay phase in part 2 patch, and a test case to check animation in delay phase is not running on the compositor in part 3 patch.

Thank you!

I don't understand how this addresses bug 1223658 comment 149. Why is it ok to set winsInCascade to true for an animation in the delay phase that does not fill backwards?

I think winsInCascade is used for a few different purposes like:

* Deciding which animations to send to the compositor [for which this change is partly ok? But won't in mean we fail to send later animations?]
* Deciding which animation/transition to apply [for which this change is probably *not* ok?]

Is that right?

Yes, right.  A problem there is that winsInCascade is initially false until the effect is in current even if there is no competitor.   Should we add another variant of KeyframeEffectReadOnly::GetAnimationOfPropery()?

To be more clear, current KeyframeEffectReadOnly::GetAnimationOfPropery() implies that we have an effect which is not in delay phase.

Maybe. What are the call sites of GetAnimationOfProperty? Can we just drop the check for mWinsInCascade from GetAnimationOfProperty?

It seems like AddAnimationsForProperty would be ok with this change? At least once we ship animations to the compositor during their delay phase. I don't know about all the uses of HasAnimationOfProperty.

We should probably go through all the call sites of GetAnimationOfProperty and see what makes sense for each both before and after bug 1223658. (And, on that matter, how does this bug relate to bug 1223658? Does it block it or depend on it?)

I don't think we can drop the check in GetAnimationOfProperty.  If we dropped the check, we will try to send animations which do not actually win in the cascades to the compositor. An example is a transform animation in our test[1].
[1] http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/c2da34d96746/dom/animation/test/chrome/test_running_on_compositor.html#l284

> It seems like AddAnimationsForProperty would be ok with this change?
> At least once we ship animations to the compositor during their delay phase.

If 'this change' means dropping the check, then no as I commented above about a test case.
If 'this change' means about attachment 8763446 [details], then yes. :-)

> I don't know about all the uses of HasAnimationOfProperty.

* In FindAnimationsForCompositor()
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/c2da34d96746/dom/animation/EffectCompositor.cpp#l126
If we check also mWinsInCascade here, then GetAnimationOfProperty in AddAnimationsForProperty should not 
be a problem.
Yes, once FindAnimationsForCompositor() returns true even if the animation is in delay phase, it gets something weird situation until bug 1223658 is landed.

* In KeyframeEffectReadOnly::CanThrottle()
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/c2da34d96746/dom/animation/KeyframeEffect.cpp#l1088
I think this HasAnimationOfProperty does not matter whether it includes delay phase or not.

Before bug 1223658, Animation::IsPlay() stops sending animations in delay phase to the compositor.
IsPlay() is the last barrier not to send animations in delay phase to the compositor.

Yes, bug 1223658 depends on this bug.  I thought I did set the dependency.  Hmm, I am now inclined to this part 2 patch should be integrated in bug 1223658 if we handle delay phase in this bug.  Does it sound reasonable?

It turns out that creating stacking context for animations in delay phase needs part 1 patch for bug 1279403 and bug 1279403 needs part 2 patch here.  So I am going to drop the change against EffectCompositor::UpdateCascadeResults and mark reftests for delay phase as "fails" here.  Then, after landing bug 1279403, I will re-visit this bug to work animations in delay phase correctly.

Oops! Bugzilla does not allow mutual dependency.  So I am going to mark bug 1279403 depending on this bug.

Added two reftests to check for animated property losing in the cascade too.

We should create a stacking context for any transform or opacity animations that are either "in effect" (what we currently do) OR "current", i.e. scheduled to run or running.

Does that seem accurate?

Oops, that's back to front. Should be:

We should create a stacking context for any transform or opacity animations that are either "current" (what we currently do, i.e. running or scheduled to run) OR "in effect", i.e. including animations that are filling forwards.

That's because we need to test that opacity or transform animations create stacking context even if OMTA is disabled.  And I think it's good enough just to run normal cases there with the disabled pref.

It's slightly wrong just for now because we don't create any stacking context in delay phase without fill:backwards.

Ok. We need a comment to say what this patch is doing. It's not obvious to me what's happenning and I'm sure if someone looks at this in a year's time, they will have the same question.

'transform: none' or 'opacity:1' animation when EffectCompositor::HasAnimationsForCompositor() returns false.  Before part 2 patch, we used EffectCompositor::HasAnimationsForCompositor() in nsIFrame::IsTransformed() or nsIFrame::HasOpacityInternal(), so the test failed without the change.

So let me check, for the case of nsIFrame::IsTransformed:

Prior to part 2 we used EffectCompositor::HasAnimationsForCompositor
  -> FindAnimationsForCompositor(aFrame, aProperty, nullptr)
  which returns false if:
  * there are no effects, or
  * the frame was refused async animation, or
  * OMTA is disabled, or
  * there is no playing animation of |aProperty|, or
  * |aProperty| is transform but we have an animation of left/top etc. (i.e. something that block running it on the compositor)
  
As of part 2 we use nsLayoutUtils::HasRelevantAnimationOfProperty
  which is added in part 1 and returns false if:
  * there are no effects, or
  * there is no current or in-effect effect for |aProperty|.

As a result IsTransformed will now return true where it previously returned false if:
  * the frame was refused async animation, or
  * OMTA is disabled, or
  ** the animation is paused, or
  ** the animation is in the before phase,
  ** the animation is filling forwards, or
  * |aProperty| is transform but we have an animation of left/top etc.

Therefore, in theory we will now create a stacking context in these cases. However, the ** cases require some extra work as described in comment 4.

As a result stacking-context-opacity-animation.html will now pass even if we turn off OMTA. Is that right?

When you say, "the test failed without the change" (comment 45), does that mean that, "Before part 2, if we turn off OMTA the test would fail, but now it will pass whether we turn OMTA on or off?"

IsTransformed still returns false in the before phase, because HasReleventAnimationOfProperty() uses KeyframeEffectReadOnly::GetAnimationOfProperty which checks mWinsInCascade, the flag will never be true until the effect is in effect phase.

That's right.
For the test case, I am going to re-use the same test file, i.e. stacking-context-opacity-1-animation.html, and add a comment in reftest.list.

Ok, I'll wait for your updated patch before reviewing. I agree we at least need a comment in reftest.list.

I'd slightly prefer that we either (a) test both with/without OMTA, (b) rename the test to make it clear it is only expected to be testing OMTA-off case, or (c) test the other case where IsTransformed now returns true, namely "|aProperty| is transform but we have an animation of left/top etc.".
https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/59644/#review59922

In the commit message, "We should not check whether the animation can run on the compositor or it's paused" we should mention that this is with regards to creating a stacking context. e.g. add "... when determining if we should create a stacking context" to the end of the message.

For all of these, is the intention that they should create a stacking context, but don't yet and that we will fix them in another bug? If so, can we add a comment to that?

Thanks.  I added 'bug 1278136 and bug 1279403' locally.  *bug 1278136* is actually this bug, the test will be passed with a subsequent patch in this bug.

This is the patch to create a stacking context in delay phase.

To create a stacking context in delay phase, we have to know whether the animation style wins in cascade in delay phase.

Part 4: Drop IsInEffect() check in UpdateCascadeResults

Review of attachment 8769519 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I don't understand this patch. What are we actually using the wins in cascade member for at this point?

When should it be false, when should it be true? Is it only used for blocking transitions?

We have code like KeyframeEffectReadOnly::NotifyAnimationTimingUpdated that detects changes to the "in effect" status so I don't understand how this change is sufficient.

Bug 1278136 - Part 5: Create a stacking context for opacity/transform animations even if it's in delay phase

Review of attachment 8774536 [details] [diff] [review]:

This might be fine, but I really don't understand what "visually effective" is supposed to mean. In what sort of situations should it be false?

I don't really understand what "visually effective" means. In particular, why do we need the check for !animatedProperties.HasProperty()? And what does overriding have to do with it? In what situations, other than when the animation has finished (and is not filling) do we want this to return false?

This function's name no longer matches what it does. "Relevant" has the specific meaning of "in effect or current". With this change, this function no longer matches that meaning. It seems like we need to rename this method.

Bug 1278136 - Part 4: Tests to check stacking context for correct effect in cascading rule

Review of attachment 8774535 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I went through these tests and I thought they were good but now I wonder if this is actually the correct behavior. The spec says,

  "While an animation is applied but has not finished, or has finished but has an animation-fill-mode of forwards or both, the user agent must act as if the will-change property ([css-will-change-1]) on the element additionally includes all the properties animated by the animation."[1]

That suggests that even if an important rule is applying 'transform: none' or 'opacity: 1', we should still create a stacking context. This is consistent with the fact that if we have an animation that animates from opacity '1' to '0', and has a 10s delay and no backwards fill, even during the delay phase where the opacity is '1' we still create a stacking context.

Is there any reason to not create a stacking context when we have an important rule?

I don't quite understand what this is testing. Wouldn't animation: Opacity1 100s 100s, Width 100s still work? Why would another animation winning change the result?

Wow, that's a complicated test!

Do we have a test that checks that if we remove the important style during the delay phase we update layers accordingly?

I was misunderstanding that 'will-change' does not create a stacking context if there is an important rule.
I will revise test cases here, and should revise part 5 patch.

Great idea!  I will add the case, but once we create a stacking context even if we have important style, this kind of tests might be changed.  We might need opposite cases, i.e. removing animations.

I remembered that I did want to check the Opacity0, which is in delay phase, is not painted accidentally.
Unfortunately this patch can not be reviewed yet, because this patch causes a failure in test_animations_omta.html.
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/logviewer.html#?job_id=24845186&repo=try#L0-L22301

The failure case is here;
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/4a18b5cacb1b/layout/style/test/test_animations_omta.html#l2249

The animation with fill:forwards in the test case was considered being running on the compositor.  I am suspecting getOMTAStyle() returned incorrect state because, if the animation were really running on the compositor, an assertion to check mWinsInCascade in AddAnimationsForProperty() should have hit there.

Note that the style obtained by getOMTAStyle() is not animated one. So, getOMTAStyle() is definitely wrong.

Another note that if I changed the test case to use transform instead of opacity, the test passed.  I think we need GetShadowOpacityByAnimation() in LayerComposite as well as SetShadowTransformSetByAnimation().

I was wrong (though getOMTAStyle is wrong either).  We need two different functions in KeyframeEffectReadOnly;

1) HasAnimationOfPropertyForStackingContext() which returns true even if there is an important style
2) HasAnimationOfPropertyForCompositor() which does not return true if there is an important style
his patch introduces two new function named
HasAnimationOfPropertyForStackingContext and
HasAnimationOfPropertyForCompositor. The former does not check the property
is overridden by important style or other animations because we need to
create a stacking context for the property even if there is an important style
such as 'opacity: 1 ! important', whereas the latter checks the property is
overridden because we should not send effects which are overridden by important
style.

Bug 1278136 - Part 5: Create a stacking context for opacity/transform animations even if it's in delay phase

Review of attachment 8776743 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I think this is nearly there. However, I'm concerned that the distinction between mWinsInCascade and mIsOverridden and some of the different HasAnimation.../GetAnimation... methods is not clear.

I realize this will all be rewritten when we implement additive animations but that might take quite a while so we should try to make this clear and consistent where possible.

Actually I wonder if we should be checking |animatedProperties| at all. If we have three animations A, B, C that all animate transform and run immediately after one another (offset by a delay) then it seems like we should send them all to the compositor--otherwise there might be a gap between when A stops and B starts.

That will mean more work on the compositor side but we need to do that anyway.

Feel free to make that a separate bug and update the comment here, however.

Why do we need this check?

If we don't need this check, then it seems like we could just:

* Rename GetAnimationOfProperty to GetEffectiveAnimationOfProperty
* Rename HasAnimationOfProperty to HasEffectiveAnimationOfProperty
* Call this HasAnimationOfProperty and add a comment explaining how it differs from HasEffectiveAnimationOfProperty

Or, probably better, add an enum parameter along the lines of

enum class OverriddenAnimations {
  Ignore,
  Include
};

I'm not sure if "overridden" is the correct term here. Looking into it, it's a bit odd that:

* HasAnimationOfPropertyForCompositor checks for !property.mIsOverridden
* GetAnimationOfProperty checks for property.mWinsInCascade and is used in AddAnimationsForProperty[1] to check for animations that run on the compositor.

So, there's a mismatch there? i.e. if an animation is current but not in-effect, HasAnimationOfPropertyForCompositor will return true but GetAnimationOfProperty will return false? Is that right?

Would it work to have just:

* GetAnimationOfProperty(OverriddenAnimations aOverridenAnimations)
  -> Checks mIsOverridden
* HasAnimationOfProperty(OverriddenAnimations aOverridenAnimations)
  -> Calls GetAnimationOfProperty as it currently does

Would that work for all call sites of HasAnimationOfProperty.

So, if I understand this correctly:

mWinsInCascade = "in effect" && !mIsOverridden

Is that right? Can we just drop mWinsInCascade and check for InEffect() && !mIsOverridden or will that cause us to recalculate timing unnecessarily?

My concern is that the difference between mWinsInCascade and mIsOverridden is really hard to understand.

I *think* we have three things we check:

A. Is the animation in effect?
B. Is the property already animated by something higher priority? (This includes where we block CSS transitions when CSS animations run on the same property.)
C. Is the property overridden by something higher in the cascade? (e.g. !important rules -- we only do this for the animations level of the cascade although I don't remember why)

Currently:

  mWinsInCascade = A && !B && !C

In this patch:

  mIsOverridden = B || C

Although, in my comment above, I'm suggesting we should (eventually) just check 'C' and then test for 'B' on the compositor.

I wonder how we can make the distinction between mWinsInCascade and mIsOverridden more clear. I think we will rewrite mWinsInCascade significantly when we implement additive animation so perhaps this is ok for now and we just need to add a comment here describing this difference.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

This looks good, but I don't understand the comment in layout/reftests/css-animations/stacking-context-opacity-removing-important-in-delay.html / stacking-context-transform-removing-important-in-delay.html.

Also, I'm confused by layout/reftests/css-transitions/stacking-context-opacity-lose-to-animation.html and stacking-context-transform-lose-to-animation.html. Didn't we decide that CSS animations overridden by !important rules still create a stacking context? That's what the specs currently say but I'm happy to try to change them if you think that behavior's wrong. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding something?

I think we decided we create a stacking context even if we have an important style rule in place? Is this test still needed? The comment and test title don't seem right.

It's not so much that the animation wins over style, but that transitions don't take effect when there is a CSS animation running on the same property, right?

As with the comment on the similar test for opacity, I don't think this is really about winning over style.

I thought we decided that even if a CSS animation is overridden by an !important rule, it should still create a stacking context while it is relevant?

I don't understand, wouldn't either trigger stacking context creation? Or is the point that a CSS transform animation with transform:none that wins creates a stacking context? I'm not sure why we would expect the script animation to have any effect here.

I am sorry,  I forgot to fix comments in the test file.  Actually those test files no longer compares with no-stacking-context-ref.html.

Now I realized a confusing point is that some of these test cases check that *correct* style is painted with a stacking context.  For example, a CSS animation and a web animation with delay.  I should rename them to proper names.

The purpose of this test is to check that we don't paint incorrect style accidentally when removing important style in delay phase.  If there is an important style for a property, an animation of the same property is not running, after removing the important style, then the animation starts running.  I think this case will be important when we send delayed animations to the compositor.  It might be passed trivially, but it's not trivial for me.

I am wondering we don't say CSS animations win normal style?  Because CSS animations are always effective even if there are any style other than "important"?

I want to prevent from being the function called for other purpose/other properties.  Actually KeyframeEffectReadOnly::HasAnimationOfProperty() is called for background position properties,  it actually does not matter, but HasAnimationOfProperty depends on mWinsInCascade flag even the purpose of the flag is only for OMTA.  I don't know yet how mWinsInCascade flag affects background position animations.  This is a reason why I can't drop/change mWinsInCase and related functions, i.e. HasAnimationOfProperty or GetAnimationOfProperty.  I'd like to leave them as it is until I really understand layerization of background position animations.

Right. The mismatch blocks that we send the animation to the compositor.  It will be changed in bug 1223658.  Honestly I have not touched bug 1223658 for a white, I'd like to re-visit bug 1223658 after this bug is *completely* fixed.  This bug has changed a lot from the beginning and is long enough,  I might need a new glue bug between them.

The difference is exactly what I don't understand about layerization of background position animations.  I think it just checks *in-play* animations but I am not convinced yet.

Thanks.  I will add comments there.  Actually I want to drop mWinsInCascade, but before do that, I think we should clarify how nsLayoutUtils::HasCurrentAnimationOfProperty in ActiveLayerTracker::IsStyleAnimated affects layerization.  That is the last place the caller of nsLayoutUtils::HasCurrentAnimationOfProperty.

The background position animation was checked in this June.  Yes it's while I've been working on this bug.  I'd want to avoid similar situations, so I'd like to finish this bug anyway.

I think we should investigate that. I don't want to make this code *more* confusing by adding extra flags and methods that are subtly different just because we don't know how existing code works.

Oops, sorry. I did not check the failure case.  The assertion was hit in case when setting null effect.  So we should add a null effect check somewhere.
Thank you, Boris, for taking care of both of those bugs!

I need your help here too.  I'd like to drop mWinsInCascade flag in this bug, (to be precise it will be replaced by another flag), but before doing it, I'd like to clarify the effect of ResetWinsInCascade() in KeyframeEffect::SetTarget().  Do you know we have a test case which fails if we don't call ResetWinsInCascade() in SetTarget()?  If there is no such test cases, I am going to write it first.

I think we don't have any test for ResetWinsInCascade() because I only added tests for basic cases, ResetOnRunningCompositor(), and mutation observers. If you have time to write the tests for ResetWinsInCascade(), it'd be great! Thank you!

This is it.  Though this is still broken something (background-position-in-delay.html test fails with this patch), but it can be used to check that symptom.  A point is that, on our current code, HasAnimationOfProperty() in CanThrottle() checks mWinsInCascade flag so the assertion is not hit at all.  I guess you can also see the assertion if you move the assertion just before HasAnimationOfProperty().

Thank you Boris for the advises.  I'd been tracking down why the test fails for a while  I could reproduce the failure locally on emulator, and also confirmed there is no animations on the select element while running the test case.  

What I am really surprised is that the key changeset which causes the failure is part 4 actually, not part 5.
Here is a try with part 4 without part 5.  The test failed!
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=dabea9b50f42

I really really don't understand what's going on there.  Part 4 is just adding bunch of reftests and those of tests does not belong to the same group of the failure test.  Filed bug 1309151 for the issue.  So, although I don't understand what happens here, I am going to add fuzzy-if here.

That's much more plausible, actually!

This could be down to the harness reusing canvases, or GPU or graphics driver issues with reusing memory or textures or something.  At least I can see plausible mechanisms for causing a slight color difference!  I agree that for now the fuzzy-if is the way to go.

Yes, lots of failure in what we actually let you see on try, since on non-try trees we are running Windows reftests on VMs, and on try we run them on hardware by default, and only give you the actual runs that you need to pass if you specifically ask for, e.g., reftest[Windows 7], bug 1303006, plus for both Windows XP and Windows 8 we intentionally don't run them unless you specifically ask for them.
Thanks Phil.  I will be careful hidden failures from now on.

As for the failure test, it seems that there is a race condition that reftest harness takes a snapshot before removal animation is painted, as a result stacking context for the animation is still there.  I will figure out how to avoid it.

Bug 1278136 - Part 5: Create a stacking context for opacity/transform animations even if it's in delay phase and even if the property is overridden by !important rules. r=birtles
Thank you Brian for quick review.

I should note here about the failed test on Android.  Surprisingly, though I did not notice at all, but the test case begun to fail after backing part 4 out.  See bug 1309533.
