Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

This is a followup to bug 851892.  I disabled most of Rule::IsKnownLive because it runs into this problem on ASAN tests:

which suggests that the document pointer is dead for reasons that are unclear.  

Unsurprisingly it got killed at:

[task 2017-01-20T18:31:56.878709Z] 18:31:56     INFO -     #1 0x7f8c7e554404 in SnowWhiteKiller::~SnowWhiteKiller() /home/worker/workspace/build/src/xpcom/base/nsCycleCollector.cpp:2664:9

There's a similar thing after

Attachment: Have ~nsDocument actually clear the self-pointer from _all_ its sheets, and reenable Rule::IsKnownLive bits that depends on that pointer being managed correctly

I guess it might be a good idea to take this on branches too, just for stability reasons

Branch version

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/Bug causing the regression]: Long long time ago, when additional sheets
   were added.
[User impact if declined]:  No known impact, but possible stability issue in
   case some code tries to examine the document pointer on these sheets.  These
   sheets are NOT exposed to script, and I'm not aware of specific code that
   examines the owning document of these sheets on branches, so there is no
   known security issue here at this time.
[Is this code covered by automated tests?]: Sort of, in that we destroy
   documents all the time.
[Has the fix been verified in Nightly?]:  On try, at least.
[Needs manual test from QE? If yes, steps to reproduce]: 
[List of other uplifts needed for the feature/fix]: None.
[Is the change risky?]: I don't think so.
[Why is the change risky/not risky?]: It's just nulling out backpointers that we
   should have nulled out all along.  Either no one is dereferencing them, and
   then there's no effect, or someone is, and they will now at least get null
   instead of garbage.
[String changes made/needed]: None.

Also, if by the time this is being approved aurora is 53, not 52, then we will want to backport the "trunk" version to there instead...
