From what I can recall, I had the two websites 'Facebook' (www.facebook.com) and 'FacePunch Studios Forums' (www.facepunch.com) open in two tabs minimised in the windows taskbar. While I was checking on the status of a download via Valve Software's Steam application,  I utilised the 'tab preview' to open the Facepunch website by hovering over Firefox in the taskbar and selecting Facepunch studios, Firefox crashed upon the enlargement of www.facepunch.com.

I've asked Kyle if he can reproduce.

... more unbinding stuff
> Here there's a list with all recent crashes with this signature

Thanks for that.  So I see two distinct kinds of crashes in that list:

1)  More common: Crash at address 0x18 == 24 (all of these on Windows)
2)  Everything else

Looking at an instance of the 0x18, it has, as usual, a pretty bogus stack near the top, and is claimed to be on this line in nsContentList.cpp:

   900      cur = cur->GetNextNode(mRootNode);

Importantly, the bottom of the stack is CC unlinking.

24 is the offset of mNextSibling in nsINode in a 32-bit build.

So presumably we're trying to get mNextSibling on a null pointer.

Looking at GetNextNode, it basically works like this:

  1)  Check for first child; if there return it.
  2)  Check for next sibling; if there return it.
  3)  Walk up the parent chain until we hit aRoot, checking next siblings.

There is no test for the parent chain hitting null before we hit aRoot, because that's not supposed to ever happen.  But I would bet that it's happening in this case.

It's hard to tell exactly what the exact order of things is that gets us to that situation because of the broken stack, but if I take at face value the parts of the stack that make sense it looks like nsGenericElement::cycleCollection::Unlink calls UnbindFromTree on a <body>, which recursively calls UnbindFromTree on its descendants and at some point nsGenericHTMLFormElement::UnbindFromTree calls SaveState() which calls GetPrimaryPresState(), which ends up generating a state key, which needs to walk the DOM.  And presumably Unlink does not dispatch ContentRemoved notifications before unbinding, so it may be possible for us to end up in a state where the nodelist has references to nodes in the tree being unlinked....

Let me see if I can write a testcase.
Yeah, comment 14 is exactly what would result from the scenario comment 15 describes.  Kyle, how did you get that to happen?
I loaded the URL from comment 9 in a debug beta build.
So another note: since nodes hold strong refs to parents and nodelists hold strong refs to their nodes, this can only get triggered if the nodelist in question (probably document.forms in this case) is part of the set of things being unlinked.

If we had some way to know in the nodelist code that this is the case, we could just bail out.  If we had some way to know in nsGenericHTMLFormElement::UnbindFromTree that we don't need to save state in this case (is that even true?) we could bail out of there.

Alternately, we could add a basic sanity check to PopulateSelf that the starting node is a descendant of mRoot, I guess.  Or add an extra null-check to GetNextNode, but I'd sort of like to avoid that.
(In reply to Boris Zbarsky (:bz) from comment #18)
> So another note: since nodes hold strong refs to parents ...

That's not true on 8 though is it?
> I loaded the URL from comment 9 in a debug beta build.

Hmm.  I'd tried nightly and didn't get that.  But I do see it in beta.

So in that case, what happens is that |count| in PopulateSelf is 0.  But mRootNode is the document, while |cur| is nsHTMLTableElement.  And cur->mParent is in fact null.

So we managed to walk into a subtree that's already been unbound.  This is different from the scenario I was thinking of in comment 18 (where count != 0 and we start with mElements[count - 1] which happens to be in a subtree which is partially unbound)!

And the reason _that_ can happen is that the nsGenericElement unlink method unbinds all the child nodes _before_ removing them from mAttrsAndChildren.  This is just wrong.  All other places unbind after removing from the child list, and code relies on that.  Looking now to see why this code is written this way.
Oh, and the situation I was worried about can also arise, I believe: we don't disconnect the content list until NodeWillBeDestroyed, which is called from nsNodeUtils::LastRelease.  I wonder whether we should call NodeWillBeDestroyed from unlink as well?
LastRelease/NodeWillBeDestroyed will be called when CC releases the node. Or are you thinking something else?
Blame dates back to CVS.  And lots of the changes are duplicated between hg and CVS, sigh...

In any case, the unbind-before-remove was added in:

3.603 <jonas@sicking.cc> 2007-11-29 00:41
Bug 348156: Fix leaks by relying on cycle collector rather than calling UnbindFromTree on all nodes. r/sr=jst

I'm going to try reordering this to make sure that tree state is self-consistent by the time UnbindFromTree happens and see how that goes.

For the case I'd been worrying about, the concern is that a content list has X as mRootNode and both X and the content list are getting unlinked.  X gets unlinked first, so it removes all its kids but does NOT send notifications.  One of the kids getting unbound tries to SaveState lands in content list code, the content list starts walking from the last kid it has (which can be non-null because the content list has not been unlinked yet), and is suddenly operating on nodes that are not descendants of mRootNode...  Jonas, Peter, Olli, can you think of any reason that _can't_ happen?
Blocks: 348156
OK, reordering the unbind and remove calls fixes at least the comment 9 testcase for me.
Olli, how do you feel about this for branches?  The patch applies as-is to m-c and beta, so probably also to aurora... but I doubt we want it for beta at this point.  Taking it on Aurora might be a good thing, though.

Taking this.  I'll file a followup on the end of comment 23 once this lands, unless I can convince myself that situation can't arise.

Make sure, when unlinking, to remove the kids from our child list before unbinding them.

I really wish you could add

This signature showed up on the Firefox 8 explosive report today: https://crash-analysis.mozilla.com/rkaiser/2011-11-01/2011-11-01.firefox.8.explosiveness.html. Farmville was mentioned in one of the comments.

This should significantly reduce the frequency of this crash, at the very least.

I've filed bug 699321 on the last part of comment 23.

Requesting aurora and beta approval.  This should be a pretty safe patch that just makes unlinking do the child node removal steps in the same order as every single other callsite that removes child nodes.  And it fixes what's apparently a common crash.

Too late for Firefox 8 beta, but we'll approve it for Firefox 9 aurora. Please land asap.

Does this crash affect Firefox, or is it Thunderbird only?

> Does this crash affect Firefox, or is it Thunderbird only?

As I said in comment #8 and comment #11, it happens in Firefox as well - and https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/list?signature=nsContentList%3A%3APopulateSelf%28unsigned%20int%29 confirms that.
Thanks Robert. Is there a testcase QA can use to verify this fix in Firefox?

Not that I know of.  But you can look at crash frequencies in crash-stats, right?
in fact in thunderbird it is quite rare (comment 5).  only 28 crashes in 12 weeks for tb6,7,8. So it may be at least a month after dec 20 release to confirm the problem is gone from version 9
I'm seeing 47 reports with this signature on Firefox 9.0b4...

Bug 699321 may also cause crashes with this signature.

> Bug 699321 may also cause crashes with this signature.

Is there a way I can verify these crashes are being produced by that bug and not this one?
Not that I know of.

What you can do is examine crash frequencies and see whether there's any change, I guess. 

The thing we should really do is fix that bug and then see whether the crash is gone altogether.
I'm going to call this qa- and we can handle the broad verification on bug 699321.
