Bug 1474793 will be landed with the pref disabled, since we need to wait until bug 1479960 (shared memory freezing) is available.

Depends on: 1479960
Depends on: 1474793

Now that bug 1479960 is fixed, can we turn this on? :)

Hi Jed, I notice in the comments for SharedMemory::Freeze that it will unmap the shared memory in the current process. Is this a fundamental design requirement? Currently, the shared memory UA style sheets benefit from having the same shared memory copy of the sheet data in the parent and child processes. I can easily change this to keep a unique copy in the parent process if needed. Or can I just map it again immediately in the parent process, and I'll have a frozen read only view of it?

Yes, you can map it again after it's frozen.

However, the address space could be claimed by another thread in the meantime. If that's a showstopper, it would be possible to avoid it, more or less: on Unix we can atomically replace the mapping with MAP_FIXED, but on Windows there doesn't seem to be an equivalent, so we'd just have to remove write permission and hope nobody accidentally re-adds it. (This shouldn't be a security problem because it's in a trusted process, but it seems worthwhile to prevent accidental misuse, and some of the backends will require not trying to write that mapping, and I'd like to keep things as consistent across platforms as possible.) And I'd have to write more code to implement all that. So, hopefully it's acceptable to fall back to copying / regenerating the data in rare cases.

Thanks, I think it's fine to fall back to using a unique copy in that case, and my guess is that remapping immediately is going to work most of the time, since we already chose an address some distance away from other allocations.

It would be good to have telemetry to confirm/monitor this. Should we have a separate bug for that?

Filed bug 1562060. (And also to measure the rate that we fail to map in the content process, too.)

There are some r+ patches which didn't land and no activity in this bug for 2 weeks.
:heycam, could you have a look please?

The failure mode of that test is just like that reported for the intermittents in bug 1574066, but perma-failing.
