all on linux64-asan in e10s mode after  running the dom/base/test directory of tests.

here is a related log file:

and the related leak from that log:

I did some retriggers to see if there is a pattern when this started:
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=mozilla-inbound&filter-searchStr=asan%20browser-chrome-e10s-3&tochange=31973778f0ed30ddde8b8aafe15ebf3c1dbe65d2&fromchange=3fe4adc63baf237235f439667af42cc5f9d460f9&selectedJob=113901509

ideally we will see results when those test jobs finish up.

I am assuming this leak is related to BackgroundHangMonitor.cpp, :mystor, I see you have edited this file recently and often in the past, could you help determine if this leak we are seeing is related to BackgroundHangMonitor.cpp?

Yes, I imagine that it is as well. I have some idea of how this would have happened, and I don't have a good way to deal with it right now. Basically SchedulerGroup allocates a wrapping runnable which we don't know about, and then intentionally leaks it if we are trying to dispatch during shutdown. We don't really have a good way to deal with that unfortunately.

Right now the code has a nasty hack to try to get around the leaking of the internal runnable, but I have no way to get my hands on the wrapping runnable.

This might be made unnecessary by bug 1380081 which removes the codepath which is leaking.

It looks like that bug is still progressing, but there is a lot going on there...it might take a while.
SchedulerGroup dispatch needs to replicate all the quirks of dispatching
directly to threads, which means we need to handle cases where dispatch
might have failed and we have resources that we don't want to leak.

Not 100% sure this solves the leaks, but I have dozens of asan brower-chrome
test retriggers running at:

https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=98b5a247fab54156c7e604226eaf9a7b597c605f

and I haven't seen this failure come up yet, which I think is a good sign.

Will do.  I'm going to wait until Monday; brasstacks shows no intermittents yesterday, but I want to give it today and the weekend to make sure that wasn't a fluke.

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/Bug causing the regression]: The scheduler/BHR.
[User impact if declined]: None
[Is this code covered by automated tests?]: Yes.
[Has the fix been verified in Nightly?]: Insofar as the intermittent oranges have stopped, yes.
[Needs manual test from QE? If yes, steps to reproduce]: No.
[List of other uplifts needed for the feature/fix]: None.
[Is the change risky?]: No.
[Why is the change risky/not risky?]: This code is just preventing shutdown memory leaks, and the cases that it handles are well-understood cases that occur in other shutdown leaks that we have fixed.
[String changes made/needed]: None.

Fixes leaks, and an intermittent orange - let's uplift for beta 3.
