While trying to find the regression window, I've found that this crash will not reproduce using engineering builds and therefore had to use production Mozilla inbound builds. This in turn makes the window and push log a little larger than desired.

Attaching logcat in case it is useful - sometimes the crash information doesn't have all we need.
I was able to reproduce on my eng build

MOZ_CRASH(DeviceStorageFileDescriptor not thread-safe) at ../../dist/include/DeviceStorageFileDescriptor.h:23
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/b54fdf8bb486 exposed this today, but the underlying bug (doing reference counting on multiple threads) likely goes back farther.
Component: Gaia::Camera → DOM: Device Interfaces
Product: Firefox OS → Core
Assignee: nobody → dhylands
Making the reference count threadsafe allows a video to be recorded.

As suggested in comment 7, the underlying problem has been present since the code was written (my bad).

It's not your fault, it's the lack of the damn assertions.

Make DeviceStorageFileDescriptor use threadsafe reference count

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I wanted to spend more time investigating the threadsafety here, but I am going on vacation for a few weeks at the end of the day and this needs to land now.

This affects v1.4 as well, right?

Bug 991812 is the bug that introduced the original problem.

It doesn't look like bug 991812 landed on 1.4 (but I could easily be misreading something).
Flags: needinfo?(dhylands)
No, bug 991812 introduces assertions that catch the problem.  I don't know when the thread-safety bug was introduced.
I'm going to guess that this goes back to the initial landing of DeviceStorageFileDescriptor in bug 910498.  I can't imagine the threadedness of it has changed, but please correct me if I'm wrong.  It looks like that bug landed in 1.3.
Yes - Andrew is right. To be safe, it would be best to backport it. I wasn't thinking about this correctly when I made comment 17.
Bug 910498 didn't land on 1.3 (at least when I checked there was no dom/devicestorage/DeviceStorageFileDescriptor.h file).
https://git.mozilla.org/?p=releases/gecko.git;a=tree;f=dom/devicestorage;h=9627d2c7a4899c59718dc8d0ee84ab02a3596e2e;hb=v1.3

So marking 1.3 and 1.3T as unaffected
I confirmed that the patch for master builds on a 1.4 branch
Should we switch this to a 1.4 blocker given that this technically affects 1.4?
