Summary REGRESSION: Difficult to repro crash in RenderBlock::layoutBlock using iGoogle
Beth Dakin
Reported 2007-05-30 12:45:56 PDT
We have had several reports of people crashing loading/playing with the new iGoogle Google homepage. Here is what we have learned about the crash so far: 1. It was introduced with http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/21183 2. Antti caught this in the debugger once, and discovered that the problem is that we are triggering layout() from SelectionController()::caretRect() and end up over-popping layout state. He crashed in RenderView::layout() at ASSERT(!m_layoutState); Here is the relevant part of his debug stack trace: #0 0x0114587a in WebCore::RenderView::layout at RenderView.cpp:104 #1 0x010c4d6f in

Looks like a regression from <http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/20936> which was a fix for bug 13375. Document::updateLayout() was changed to update the parent frame's layout. In the case of this bug, the parent frame is already in the middle of layout, so you get a nasty cycle (which is at least detected by the LayoutState assertion).

So this bug turned out to be fixed already, but Beth added the midLayout guard around invalidateSelection() is <http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/21905> and just now going to maps.google.com I hit the ASSERT(!d->midLayout), with this backtrace: 0 com.apple.WebCore 0x01101a68 WebCore::FrameView::layout(bool) + 100 (FrameView.cpp:290) 1 com.apple.WebCore 0x01106110 WebCore::Document::updateLayout() + 260 (Document.cpp:1060) 2 com.apple.WebCore 0x0111576c WebCore::Document::updateLayoutIgnorePendingStylesheets() + 200 (Document.cpp:1087) 3 com.apple.WebCore 0x012851b4 WebCore::VisiblePosition::canonicalPosition(WebCore::Position const&) + 104 (VisiblePosition.cpp:143) 4 com.apple.WebCore 0x01285730 WebCore::VisiblePosition::init(WebCore::Position const&, WebCore::EAffinity) + 68 (VisiblePosition.cpp:58) 5 com.apple.WebCore 0x012859a0 WebCore::VisiblePosition::VisiblePosition[in-charge](WebCore::Position const&, WebCore::EAffinity) + 60 (VisiblePosition .cpp:46) 6 com.apple.WebCore 0x0127173c WebCore::SelectionController::layout() + 648 (SelectionController.cpp:839) 7 com.apple.WebCore 0x01271960 WebCore::SelectionController::caretRect() const + 56 (SelectionController.cpp:858) 8 com.apple.WebCore 0x01271d84 WebCore::SelectionController::recomputeCaretRect() + 276 (SelectionController.cpp:896) 9 com.apple.WebCore 0x010eff04 WebCore::Frame::selectionLayoutChanged() + 52 (Frame.cpp:584) 10 com.apple.WebCore 0x010f01a8 WebCore::Frame::invalidateSelection() + 56 (Frame.cpp:523) 11 com.apple.WebCore 0x011023e8 WebCore::FrameView::layout(bool) + 2532 (FrameView.cpp:433) The FrameView being the same in frames #0 and #11. Also regarding the original problem (at iGoogle), if this is something that can legitimately happen within WebCore, isn't an ASSERT too harsh? I mean, does the iGoogle bug still need to be fixed some other way?

Saw the same ASSERT(!d->midLayout) after accidentally hitting the "Yahoo" link in the Safari toolbar, then using Cmd-Left-Arrow to go back while the Yahoo main page (www.yahoo.com) was still loading. Oddly, Safari hung in such a way so that I couldn't attach via gdb or get a stack trace through CrashReporter.

With a local debug build of WebKit r21908, I hit this EVERY time I go to http://maps.google.com/ now. It's really not that hard to reproduce now. :(

This needs a new Radar to track; the one listed in Comment #1 has been closed.

It's just an assert.

(In reply to comment #6) > This needs a new Radar to track; the one listed in Comment #1 has been closed. It's kind of hard to use Google Maps when it crashes all the time in a debug build, too! :)

(In reply to comment #7) > It's just an assert. The assert was removed in r22022. http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/22022 Is this bug fixed now?
