Comment 1

[:Ms2ger (he/him; ⌚ UTC+1/+2)]

Can this LinkedList be used by multiple threads?

Comment 2

[Kyle Huey (Exited; not receiving bugmail, old account, do not use)]

Yeah, it definitely can be ...

Comment 3

[Justin Lebar (not reading bugmail)]

...without locking?

What's happening here is that the linked list destructor is running, and it's checking whether the node is in a list.  In this case, it's partially in a list (one of the pointer is to self, but the other pointer is not).  That's only a valid state if the list is currently being mutated.  Which means that either we have memory corruption or the list is being mutated /while the destructor is running/.

Comment 4

[Kyle Huey (Exited; not receiving bugmail, old account, do not use)]

Well DataOwner's dtor can run on any thread, so if there's no locking we need to add some.

Comment 7

[Justin Lebar (not reading bugmail)]

khuey and I talked about this on IRC, and we agree this patch is scary.

So what we're going to do is disable this memory reporter on b2g18 (that's safest possible change we could make there) and then try a simpler approach for trunk (register one memory reporter for each large blob).  This simpler approach requires bug 833913.

Aand we never followed up with this bug.  :(

Comment 17

[Justin Lebar (not reading bugmail)]

The paper-over fix needs to be uplifted to Aurora again, and we need to actually fix this.  It's not just the dtor; the constructor also can run on any thread, afaict from bug 873623.

We need to re-land this on Aurora.  :(

Comment 19

[Kyle Huey (Exited; not receiving bugmail, old account, do not use)]

Ah crap.  I hate it when I lose track of bugs.

Comment 20

[Justin Lebar (not reading bugmail)]

I'm compiling a patch for this that involves making a StaticMutex, which is something I've wanted in many other cases.  If this works, it would be pretty nice...

Comment 21

[Justin Lebar (not reading bugmail)]

No way this will compile anywhere else.

Attachment: Patch, v1: Add proper locking around nsDOMFile's memory reporter infrastructure.

Depends on bug 873801, which has its own dependency.

Approving for Aurora 23 - should we also get this on Beta 22?  We aren't tracking this bug because it's not clear that we have signs of significant, reproducible user impact here.  Please nominate if you believe it to be more serious.

Comment 26

[Justin Lebar (not reading bugmail)]

> We aren't tracking this bug because it's not clear that we have signs of significant,

Probably because few sites use workers.

> should we also get this on Beta 22?

Yes; thanks for asking.

> Please nominate if you believe it to be more serious.

I believe this to be pretty serious.  I'll elaborate in a PM.

Re-nom'ing for beta.  It's a shame we missed this for the last release, but that ship has sailed.

Comment 28

[Justin Lebar (not reading bugmail)]

Checkin-needed to re-land on Aurora (and beta, if and when we get re-approval).

Comment 29

[Ryan VanderMeulen [:RyanVM]]

It's not clear that this intermittent failure is hitting FF22, so we were waiting for jlebar to elaborate on severity here (didn't get a PM).

Comment 31

[Justin Lebar (not reading bugmail)]

I sent a PM to lsblakk immediately after posting the comment.  I didn't get a response; maybe it didn't go through.

I'll just say it here: I think you could exploit this bug without a lot of difficulty.

Comment 32

[Justin Lebar (not reading bugmail)]

https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/8d0ac9d38a1b

checkin-needed for mozilla-beta still stands.

Comment 33

[Justin Lebar (not reading bugmail)]

Gah, https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/56f89cd46261 landed with this bug in the commit message instead of bug 873801.  At least they're related bugs...

Ah, that's why this hasn't landed on beta: The m-c merge removed checkin-needed.

I'll land this on beta myself.

Comment 38

[David Teller [:Yoric] - still alive but not very active]

I just hit the following assertion: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/2565047
It was my understanding that this bug should have fixed it.

Comment 39

[Kyle Huey (Exited; not receiving bugmail, old account, do not use)]

That's not an assertion, that's just a stack.  I bet that's a refcounting threadsafety assertion firing.

Comment 40

[David Teller [:Yoric] - still alive but not very active]

Well, now it's an assertion + a stack:)
http://pastebin.mozilla.org/2565061

And yes, it looks like a refcounting threadsafety assertion.

Comment 41

[Kyle Huey (Exited; not receiving bugmail, old account, do not use)]

Yeah my guess is that we create it on whatever thread wants to use it first which may not be the main thread.  It should really just have threadsafe refcounting.

Open a new bug please.
