I see BHR in all of these stacks. Any ideas, Michael?

OK, I have some idea as to what is going on here (I think), just based on reading the code: Basically, when creating a thread for the nsStreamTransportService from the BackgroundHangMonitor (as the BackgroundHangMonitor dispatches to STS), we detect that the browser is shutting down. Being good citizens, the threading code decides to clean up the newly created thread. This causes us to enter ShutdownInternal() for the newly created thread, which contains these lines: http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/4b79f3b23aebb4080ea85e94351fd4046116a957/xpcom/threads/nsThread.cpp#962-963 These try to construct a NotNull<nsThread*> out of GetCurrentThread(), which _should_ work, however the BackgroundHangManager thread is not a nsThread, it is a raw PRThread, so we get a NULL and trigger a crash :-/. I'm not sure what the best strategy here is. The easiest solution would be to turn off BHR on the beta channel (we don't look at beta BHR data anyway and it's being turned off in bug 1380081 anyway).

Comment on attachment 8896401 [details] [diff] [review] Disable BHR in beta Review of attachment 8896401 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Seems sort of bonkers that we don't look at the BHR data on beta, since that's a bigger pool of users (isn't it?), but if we're turning it off soon in other bugs, this is OK. This patch is also significantly less risky than uplifting the stack of patches from the other bugs. Please nominate this for beta uplift after it lands.

Uh, that's a little weird? The thinking is that this will be landed on beta, and then the code that it would have been patching will go away before we uplift 57 to beta, and we wouldn't have needed this patch anyway? If you can convince relman of this line of thinking, then OK, but I don't see why landing it on central first would necessarily be a bad thing--other than churning the other patches that haven't landed yet.

Looks like this needs a Beta approval request still?
