This bug is a split from https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138506 It handles the same issue for synchronous loads.

As this is for synchronous requests, and we need to wait for completion anyway, it's not clear to me what we would achieve by moving loading to a secondary thread. Could you please elaborate?

I was mixed up, that’s all. Not a useful comment on my part.

Which two > "this function" functions is it talking about? What's wrong with > fileURLWithFileSystemPath()? The moved function adds a CF/WIN specific code path, which I am no expert there. I can check whether this would cause test failures to remove this code path and file a later path if ok.

Why not bool readFile(const String&, Vector<uint8_t>& data)? But also, for the application cache case, I don't see why we would want to read, an mmap seems a lot more appropriate. > LayoutTests/http/tests/appcache/simple-video-sync.html:20 > + if (req.getResponseHeader("Content-Type") != "video/mp4") > + finishTest("FAILURE: Did not get correct content type from cached resource"); This still doesn't test response data.

This function This comment is false. fileURLWithFileSystemPath is such a function. I don’t think it’s good for us to keep this comment exactly as is when that’s inaccurate. Maybe just remove the first sentence? > Source/WebCore/loader/appcache/ApplicationCacheHost.cpp:227 > +static inline bool loadDataFromFile(const String& path, Vector<char>& data) Why map the file if we are just going to copy all the data into a vector? The whole point of a mapped file is that we use the mapped-in data directly, avoiding one copy. I think we need to refactor so we don’t have to copy into the Vector<char>. > Source/WebCore/loader/appcache/ApplicationCacheHost.cpp:246 > + error = m_documentLoader.frameLoader()->client().cannotShowURLError(request); > + return true; Should restructure this so we don’t have to repeat these two lines of code twice. The exact same thing is done just below. > Source/WebCore/platform/FileSystem.h:182 > +typedef struct S_MappedFile MappedFile; The name S_MappedFile doesn’t match WebKit coding style and it’s unnecessary. The right thing here is probably just to forward declare a struct named MappedFile; no value in having a separate typedef and struct tag. That’s a C construct that’s not needed in C++. > Source/WebCore/platform/FileSystem.h:183 > +MappedFile* mapFile(const String&); It’s not good coding style to have this return a raw pointer that a client can easily forget to deallocate. We could use a std::unique_ptr for this, or we could return a MappedFile rather than a MappedFile* and use C++ constructors and destructors to handle object lifetime. This should probably just be a simple class rather than being a pointer. > Source/WebCore/platform/gtk/FileSystemGtk.cpp:382 > + GUniquePtr<gchar> filename = unescapedFilename(path); > + int fd = open(filename.get(), O_RDONLY); > + if (fd < 0) > + return nullptr; Is there some simple way to encapsulate this so we don’t need to repeat all the code for GTK when it’s almost identical to the POSIX version?

Comment on attachment 251017 [details] using mmap View in context: https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=251017&action=review > Source/WebCore/loader/appcache/ApplicationCacheHost.cpp:232 > + bool result = copyMappedFileData(file, data); Are you saying that we need to copy the data, because XMLHttpRequest cannot take a memory mapped pointer as data? In this case, the right thing to do would be one of: - Make XMLHttpRequest (or even Vector) work with arbitrary memory provided to it. This should be helpful in the case of loading from the network too, because we get shared memory pointers from NetworkProcess, and not copying these could be nice. But probably fairly hard to implement. - Or disagree with me when I asked you to use mmap. It doesn't make any sense to mmap and then copy out, direct reading is obviously more straightforward, and quite possibly faster.

Ap, I may have misunderstood your comments. I thought you suggested to use mmap to get a single sys call vs several read call which may make sense for potentially large files I guess. I am not sure Vector is the best option for the kind of refactoring you are suggesting. SharedBuffer may be more amenable to that. At least I am more familiar with it. If time permits, I will give it some thoughts. But, to be honest, this sounds to me like a very good refactoring project for something else, which is improving blob implementation. The scope of this particular patch is appcache. I would just either piggyback on blob implementation or implement something as simple as possible. I understand from your comments that the latter is the best option. I am away next week but I will try preparing a patch on the week after based on open/read/close. Please let me know if I got something wrong.

As far as what could manage a mmap’d pointer, SharedBuffer, that’s right. Not Vector.

So why copy it instead of just taking a reference to it? From what I saw, removing the copy is safe currently. But nothing prevents a new user to break this assumption. It might be useful to introduce some kind of immutable SharedBuffer. > I don’t think the term “upper users” is clear here.

> Is there a way to discover these type of issues through build.webkit.org? We don't have any GuardMalloc bots on webkit.org currently. One can test with GuardMalloc locally, using -g option, although I wouldn't recommend that for every patch - it's usually more efficient to roll out and to fix issues after the fact than to perform super thorough testing locally.
