Bug 105359 – REGRESSION(r137607): PluginDocument loads consume huge amounts of memory

• Component: WebCore Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Nate Chapin]

Original report: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=166374

To reproduce, go to a plugin that loads as a main resource in a chromium canary (e.g., http://www.scb.se/statistik/_publikationer/NR0001_2012K02_TI_A28TI1203.pdf). That 4MB pdf can easily consume multiple GBs of memory.

The problem is that CachedRawResource implicitly assumes that, if setShouldBufferData() will be called, it will be called before the load starts. PluginDocument calls it after receiving the first chunk of data, which leaves CachedRawResource in an inconsistent state> It ends up sending the entirety of the data received so far in each callback instead of only the incremental data.

It's named as a boolean, so it should be renamed.

true

I'll do that in a separate patch.
