Bug 190884 – REGRESSION (WEBPROCESS_WINDOWSERVER_BLOCKING): requestAnimationFrame Stops Completing

• Component: DOM
• Status: NEW

Minimal Reproducible Example

The gist is that since Safari 12, it's possible to "break" requestAnimationFrame for every page in a grouped process. This makes our application practically unusable in  Safari.

I have attached a minimal reproducible example. I have verified that Safari 11 / Chrome / etc.. does not have this problem, and that this problem still occurs in the latest Safari Technology Preview (68)

Instructions:
Open index.html
Notice an incrementing counter.
Click the link to take you to loop.html
Notice the incrementing counter begins after some delay.
Without going back to the first page, close loop.html, taking you back to index.html

Expected:
The counters should continually increment while viewing the pages.

Actual:
Both: The counter in no longer incrementing. 
Safari 12: Other pages spawned by this page appear to get 0 or 1 completions to requestAnimationFrame and no more. (Additionally, interacting with the dev tools open in this state tends to crash the process, but I can't reproduce this reliably.)
Preview 68: Opening a new page tends to fix the counter. 


Example website:
Opening a document at www.lucidchart.com will put Safari 12 into this state.

This appears at least partially OS dependent. We could not reproduce this in Safari 12 on High Sierra.

This is related to Per's sandboxing of the WebProcess on Mojave to that the WebProcess no longer has access to the Window server.

Before https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/232879/webkit:
- rAF keeps incrementing in index.html when closing loop.html
but
- rAF fails to increment in loop.html

After https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/232879/webkit:
- rAF is no longer incrementing in index.html when closing loop.html
but
- rAF is incrementing in loop.html when opening it.

As a quick hack, I tried:
diff --git a/Source/WebKit/UIProcess/mac/WebPageProxyMac.mm b/Source/WebKit/UIProcess/mac/WebPageProxyMac.mm
index b55ce9e8f39..4c877511ca1 100644
--- a/Source/WebKit/UIProcess/mac/WebPageProxyMac.mm
+++ b/Source/WebKit/UIProcess/mac/WebPageProxyMac.mm
@@ -695,8 +695,8 @@ void WebPageProxy::stopDisplayLink(unsigned observerID)
         return;
     
     m_displayLink->removeObserver(observerID);
-    if (!m_displayLink->hasObservers())
-        m_displayLink = nullptr;
+    /*if (!m_displayLink->hasObservers())
+        m_displayLink = nullptr;*/
 }
 #endif


It seems to fix the problem. Sending over to Per since he wrote this code and I am not familiar with it.
