Attached patch patch v1 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Grabbing a reference to the stream under the cache lock in nsCacheService::CloseAllStreams() doesn't ensure that it won't go away since it might be already waiting for the lock in the destructor. This patch fixes the problem.

Attached patch patch v2 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
With the change from bug #808997, input and output streams can live longer than cache service. So we must not grab the cache lock when we are not sure that the cache service exists, i.e. when mDescriptor is null.

Looks good to me, just one minor nit below.

Is there a particular reason to use mDescriptor instead of desc here? Just seems odd to me to use the thing you've already gotten a local reference to. If there's a reason I'm missing, please add a comment explaining why you use mDescriptor instead of desc before landing. (Same goes for other Release functions in other places in this patch.)

mDescriptor can be nulled out on another thread between releasing mLock and acquiring cache lock. We would need to grab the cache lock under the mLock but then we would release these locks in non-LIFO order which causes warning here:

http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/annotate/6955309291ee/xpcom/glue/BlockingResourceBase.cpp#l167

Even with the current locking, it wouldn't be a big problem to use desc instead of mDescriptor because output streams just null out back-reference. But in case of input streams the assertion would need to be removed since the wrapper might be already removed from the array. Anyway, the current code is more clean and correct.
