This bug was filed from the Socorro interface and is 
report bp-a4ab879c-30ea-4402-a626-725600170908.
=============================================================

There are 3 crashes from the same installation in nightly 57 with buildid 20170908100218. In analyzing the backtrace, the regression may have been introduced by patch [1] to fix bug 1290481.

This is asserting on:

  MOZ_DIAGNOSTIC_ASSERT(!DirectoryPaddingFileExists(aBaseDir, DirPaddingFile::TMP_FILE));

Given users and other applications might manipulate the file system we may not be able to enforce this.  We might need runtime checking to handle unexpected conditions like this.

Given this is Windows its possible we are failing to remove the temp file because of virus scanner holding it open or something.
I'll investigate this.

Thanks for the hint!

I did pass the aTemporaryFileExist to LockedDirectoryPaddingGet() [1] before calling LockedDirectoryPaddingGet() (where the assertion is hit). So, I'll try to check aTemporaryFileExist before this function and consider whether should I remove the assertion[2] in LockedDirectoryPaddingGet().

It's not easy to write a test to verify this issue, but I'll keep finding if it's possible to do that. Maybe using File API to create temporary padding file between cache actions (e.g. cache.put).

Currently, there are four places[1] using LockedDirectoryPaddingGet() (A, B, C, D). 

A: [2] is the palce that makes this crash, so I try to check whether the temporary padding file exists before calling LockedDirectoryPaddingGet() which has an assertion for the temporary padding file should not be existed. And, the r? patches is mainly to fix this situation.

B: [3] is in the if-condition and it should be called when the temporary padding file doesn't exist.

C: [4] is protected by LockedDirectoryPaddingRestore() where deleting the temporary padding file. If the delete fail, [4] should 
be called.

D: [5] is called after deleting the temporary padding file, so I believe it's fine.
