Bug 133885 – [iOS][wk2] Swiping back briefly shows the previous page before loading the new one

• Component: WebKit2
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Tim Horton]

Sometimes we will get a layer tree commit from the Web Process -> UI process with layers (and a render tree size) from the previous page AFTER the UI process has started the navigation to the new page (because layer tree flush is very asynchronous). This will cause ViewGestureControllerIOS to think that the render tree size limit has been hit, and remove the snapshot, revealing the old page.

Since we already synchronize layer tree commits between processes, we just need a way to identify commits by ID and know which commit current actions will be applied to.

Transaction ID is reset upon crash because we tear down the drawing area (and make a new Web process). I've tested that this works!

Should this be provided to the constructor?

Weird to have this one.

"target" doesn't communicate what you're going to use this transaction ID for.

> +    if (m_targetRenderTreeSize && renderTreeSize > m_targetRenderTreeSize && m_webPageProxy.drawingArea()->currentTransactionID() >= m_targetTransactionID)

I want to see a call here like "isCurrentTransaction()" or "isStaleTransaction" or something.

Remove?

> +    uint64_t m_currentTransactionID;

I feel like this should be lastVisibleTransactionID or something.

> Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/mac/RemoteLayerTreeDrawingAreaProxy.mm:312
> +    m_currentTransactionID++;

Rather than just increment this count, I feel like it should copy the ID obtained from the last transaction somehow.

getNextTransactionID()?
