=============================================================

this crash signature in the content process is newly showing up in firefox 58 with MOZ_RELEASE_ASSERT(mOutstandingAsyncPaints == 0) that got added in bug 1388921.
The crash report seems to be not available currently, I will be back when it works.
unfortunately old crash reports got collectively purged - bp-2a120b45-d3f1-4b87-ac8d-f4b8f0171229 would be a new one relating to this signature.
It seems to be relative with Bug 1388921. :mattwoodrow, can you take a look at this?

David or Ryan would be the best people to take a look at this.

As Comment 3, Can you take a look at this? Ryan.

So from that assertion it looks like we have async operations queued when the AsyncEndLayerTransaction message is processed.

I think it's possible for ClientLayerManager::EndEmptyTransaction to be called twice in a row before EndTransaction. [1]

EndEmptyTransaction will call Render on the layer tree and then queue a AsyncEndLayerTransaction message if an operation was queued. If in both EndEmptyTransaction's an operation is queued, we could have a race with the first AsyncEndLayerTransaction message running after the second set of operations are queued, causing this assertion to be triggered.

I'm not sure if this is definitively the cause of the crashes, but it seems worth fixing. We had a similar race with one EndEmptyTransaction followed by EndTransaction, and fixed that by calling FlushAsyncPaints. I think we can do the same here.

In addition, it seems like a ClientPaintedLayer will almost always queue a buffer operation [2], as ContentClient unconditionally creates mBufferState [3]. That should be fixed.

Looks like some pretty small patches. Worth a Beta uplift request?
Flags: needinfo?(rhunt)
Looking at the crash reports I found there was one crash report that has happened since these patches landed [1]. I still think these are worth uplifting as I believe they can minimize the chance of this race condition happening.
