Only two crashes so far but consistent stacks across two different distros so it's probably a valid one.

Comment 1

[Martin Stránský [:stransky] (ni? me)]

I wonder what could be null there...

Comment 2

[Martin Stránský [:stransky] (ni? me)]

hm, maybe OOM where NewRunnableFunction() returns nullptr?

Comment 3

[Gabriele Svelto [:gsvelto]]

I'll try to inspect one of the minidumps tomorrow but I don't think it's an OOM because the machines involved on all three crashes had plenty of free memory. Since we're calling GetDispatcherThreadLoop() twice in a row could this be a race and during the second call mDispatcherThreadLoop is NULL?

Comment 4

[Martin Stránský [:stransky] (ni? me)]

Yes, that's possible, thanks.
WaylandDispatchDisplays() uses gWaylandDisplaysMutex to avoid races so let's it also add to ::Shutdown() where mDispatcherThreadLoop is released (https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/2cd2d511c0d94a34fb7fa3b746f54170ee759e35/widget/gtk/nsWaylandDisplay.cpp#456).

[Martin Stránský [:stransky] (ni? me)]

Hm, the patch here does not fix anything and also causes browser hang on quit on Wayland. Candidate to "the worst patch of year".

Attachment: Bug 1629526 [Wayland] Add gWaylandThreadLoopMutex to guard thread loop shutdown, r?jhorak

• Add gWaylandThreadLoopMutex to guard thread loop shutdown
• Rename gWaylandDisplaysMutex to gWaylandDisplayArrayMutex to clarify it's mutex for gWaylandDisplays array access
• Add gWaylandDisplayArrayMutex lock at ReleaseDisplaysAtExit()
• Rename DispatcherThreadLoop names to ThreadLoop
