Bug 172244 – [WK2] Notify WebPageProxy client when an active process goes over the inactive memory limit

• Component: WebKit2
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Andreas Kling]

We should let the UI-side WK2 client know when the active process comes under memory pressure.

When I discussed this with Geoff yesterday, my understanding was that the callback would be something like:
didExceededBackgroundResourceLimitWhileInForeground(ResourceLimit);
enum class ResourceLimit { Memory, CPU };

Otherwise, we'll end up with 2 separate callback for memory and CPU.

Oh, okay, that sounds p good too. I can certainly make it look like that instead!

Also, does this patch rely on memory pressure notifications from the system rather than using our inactive memory limit?

No, but this patch had some architectural mistakes so I'm redoing it to fit your suggested API name (which I love)

New version with Chris's suggested API using ResourceLimit { Memory, CPU } enum.
