[GTK][Wayland] Opening FedoraProject's pastebin chews CPU

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Bastien Nocera]

webkitgtk4-2.17.91-1.fc28.x86_64

Opening "https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/KPHOZTH~E8zjRJtXkOQEcQ" (for example) in MiniBrowse or epiphany eats through CPU, with the WebKitProcess taking 2/3 of a core, and the browser binary taking the other 1/3.

[Carlos Garcia Campos]

I can reproduce this, but only under wayland (doesn't happen using GDK_BACKEND=x11) and with AC enabled.

[Carlos Garcia Campos]

It seems we are rendering at a crazy frame rate, I guess because of the display monitor thing.

[Carlos Garcia Campos]

This regressed when we introduced the display refresh monitor. The monitor schedules updates immediately, because we removed the option to not do frame sync in X11 to let swapBuffers do the throttling. That doesn't happen in Wayland, so I guess we need to properly implement the frame request callbacks in the nested compositor.

WIP

This is a WIP patch, it fixes the issue, but also introduces locks. Now I remember this was the other reason why we didn't implement the frame callbacks this way. Problem is that mesa calls wl_display_dispatch_queue in a loop, but the main thread is blocking trying to make a sync threaded compositing task (for repaint). See the bt:

Any idea?
