Upload a WIP to see if we suffer from buzy pContent
We dispatch the OnStartRequest to background thread, thru pBackground and dispatch back to main thread content child

Talos: not significantly better or worse. Let's fix the oranges and have more samples on that patch.

Now OnStartRequest is way faster than other sink events which is thru pHttpChannel.
I'm cooking a patch to handle this.

OnProgress/OnStatus are allowed to be sent before OnStartRequest. However, when we send
OnStartRequest through pHttpBackgroundChannel, the order won't reserve since OnProgress/OnStatus
are sent via pHttpChannel.

For performance, HttpChannelChild::ProgressOnStartRequest will call the OnProgress/OnStatus if
those events haven't received, indicated by PHttpBackgroundChannel::OnStartRequest.

Attached image Illustration of Patch 1

The yellow circle is where the patch tried to change sending OnStartRequest from PHttpChannel to PHttpBackgroundChannel
The white arrow shows we have performance gain since the ODA/OnStop is not bound by PHttpChannel (except AsyncOpen) anymore.

Attached image Illustration of Patch 2 (obsolete) —

Now OnStartRequest is sent thru pBg (behind a pref)
Therefore, OnStartRequest could be faster than OnProgress/OnStatus for upload.

Per this graph, we can see we can let our consumer receive OnProgress/OnStatus earlier and keep the order as well.

Illustration of Patch 2

After discussion with :mayhemer, we'd like to disaptch `OnProgree`/`OnStatus` through pBackground.
Attachment #9148235 - Attachment is obsolete: true

For the OnProgress/OnStatus through pHttpBackgroundChannel,
need another patch to let marti-part channel send all IPC(OnS*R, ODA) through pHttpBackgroundChannel as well (now pHttpChannel.)

We move OnStartRequest from PHttpChannel to PHttpBackgroundChannel, thus adjusting
message-metadata.ini

given we don’t support options in createBitMap, we’re having the same test coverage.

Hello Ehsan,
This bug is to sending OnStartRequest via PHttpBackgroundChannel instead of PHttpChannel.
Hence, the child process will receive OnStartRequest way earlier than before.

I have a question about permission:

We're hitting this assertion after rebasing from May 22 to May 26.
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/bc3600def806859c31b2c7ac06e3d69271052a89/extensions/permissions/PermissionManager.cpp#2207

Here is an example.
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/logviewer.html#/jobs?job_id=304017626&repo=try&lineNumber=18856

My question is, should we wait for anything in child process like this to avoid this assertion?

Flags: needinfo?(ehsan)

Hello Matt,
I'm hitting this assertion for RecvRedirectToRealChannel case.
I believe it's a switch process redirect instead of 301/302/... HTTP redirect, right?

Looks like OnStartRequest happens before CompleteRedirectSetup
For document channel case, should we wait for CompleteRedirectSetup once HttpChannelChild::ConnectParent is called?
Is it possible that there's a cancel from DocumentChannel between the two?

It works to suspend EventQ in HttpChannelChild::ConnectParent and resume in HttpChannelChild::CompleteRedirectSetup`
SHould be fine even there's a cancel between them. Aborter would generate the OnStart/OnStop.

Here's my theory:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/netwerk/protocol/http/HttpChannelParent.cpp#1404-1413

Per comment, "Send down any permissions which are relevant to this URL if we are performing a document load. " which is just happen before SendOnStartRequest.
The permission update sequence is

HttpChannelParent::OnStartRequest
ContentParent::AboutToLoadHttpFtpDocumentForChild
ContentParent::TransmitPermissionsForPrincipal
ContentParent::EnsurePermissionsByKey
PContentParent::SendSetPermissionsWithKey

However, SendSetPermissionsWithKey is pContent, which could be later than SendOnStartRequest via PHttpChannelBackgroud.
I don't have a good solution at this moment. Ideally we should bring the permission information through SendOnStartRequest to update the Permission manager in content process.

Keep ni? to see if Ehsan has some idea.

Let's wait for the PContent::SendSetPermissionsWithKey given lots of orange are still there and do the optimization later.

Similiar situation with cookie

ContentParent::AboutToLoadHttpFtpDocumentForChild
ContentParent::UpdateCookieStatus
CookieServiceParent::TrackCookieLoad
PCookieServiceParent::SendTrackCookiesLoad

Therefore, let's wait for another main thread event for a document load.

However, what's worse is Set-Cookie response header is another PContent IPC

nsHttpChannel::ContinueProcessResponse1
HttpBaseChannel::SetCookie
HttpBaseChannel::NotifySetCookie
CookieStorage::AddCookie
CookieStorage::NotifyChange("cookie-changed")
ContentParent::Observe
CookieServiceParent::AddCookie
PCookieServiceParent::SendAddCookie

Would need a decent amount of work to OMT Set-Cookie

Given options in createImageBitmap is not supported, the test coverage is the same.

Bug 1015466 move them from PContent to Pbg since it believes those events are fine
to received before OnStopRequest. Bug 1588241 move it back to PContent since those
events are before OnStartRequest.

Now we're moving OnStartRequest to pBg, so here's another ping-pong time :)

The WebRequest will suspend the channel in nsHttpChannel::PrepareToConnect(), apply the stream filter, send the main thread IPC and resume.
That is, PHttpChannel::AttachStreamFilter should be handled in Child before OnStartRequest goes to listener.

Depends on D79587

One line fix with a bunch of explanation.

When we perform networking on the socket process, OnDataAvailable could be sent directly from socket process to child process.
Therefore, it could be racy with OnStartRequest which is from parent process to child process by nature.

This patch is to resolve the failure (cancel) by parent process.
For example, https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/027893497316897b8f292bde48dbb6da2391a331/netwerk/protocol/http/nsHttpChannel.cpp#2713

Bug 1641496 introduce a status check to avoid ODA message being process
[2] https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/027893497316897b8f292bde48dbb6da2391a331/netwerk/protocol/http/HttpBackgroundChannelChild.cpp#163-171

It prevents putting ODA to the channel event queue in child process.

However, this is based on that OnStartRequest already finished excution, which is usually true if OnStartRequest is sent via PHttpChannel.
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/027893497316897b8f292bde48dbb6da2391a331/netwerk/protocol/http/HttpChannelChild.cpp#417-422
ChannelEventQueue::RunOrEnque simply runs the OnStartRequest given there on the same thread and the queue is empty, since no blocking events from different thread are before OnStartRequest.

Now we are moving the next chapter. OnStartRequest is queued given we want to switch thread.
The failure status, which is initiated in parent process, is set in HttpChannelChild::OnStartRequest which could be later than the status check [2]

Therefore, we need another check to prevent ODA, which is already in the event queue, being processed.
We intentionally keep [2] for performance.

Unfortunately, we force the main thread IPC for responses with Set-Cookie, so we won't have a good impact on talos.
Bug 1645901 is the key follow-up to lift the restriction.

We decide to backout and land it back in the beginning of next cycle.

For the performance impact:
this is a comparison without cookie and stream filter constraint, i.e., the best case after solving Bug 1645901 and Bug 1646592
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/perf.html#/compare?originalProject=mozilla-central&newProject=try&newRevision=f6c83e4b25dc29a1ded4cc10ab895c81c3dc9c0d&framework=1&selectedTimeRange=172800

this is comparison with autoland in comment 38. The result should come up hours later.
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/perf.html#/compare?originalProject=mozilla-central&newProject=autoland&newRevision=398fc19f5f6adf0a58ddb43e2efbaac571db320b&framework=1&selectedTimeRange=172800

Here's the reason I don't put this behind a pref even it could be a risky patch.
(a) it's not blocked by anything
(b) code complexity. Before the patch:

  • normal channels send OnStart via PHttpChannel and ODA/OnStop via PHttpBackgroundChannel
    multipart channels send everything (OS*R, ODA) thru PHttpChannel.

If we add a pref, we will have another code path for sending everything via PBg.

  • What worse, lots of dependent IPC should happen before OnStart and the order is very important.
    That includes
  1. OnProgress/OnStatus
  2. OnAfterLastPart for multipart channel
  3. These notification for uri classifier
    https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/cfaa250d14e344834932de4c2eed0061701654da/netwerk/protocol/http/PHttpBackgroundChannel.ipdl#63-74

If we have a pref, we should send them in both PHttpChannel and PBg, depending on the pref.

  • What's even worse, we would maintain two types of OnStartRequestSent to synchronized another part of IPC sequences.
