Bug 21837 – critical error in Gtk FrameLoaderClient::frameLoaderDestroyed()

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Jonathon Jongsma (jonner)]

We're unreffing the m_frame object but never taking a ref on it.  Backtrace for the critical warning is as follows:

add a ref in the constructor

[Jonathon Jongsma (jonner)]

Actually, this is really a case that's screaming out for a GRefPtr so we don't need to do all of this manual ref-counting...

[Alp Toker]

Confirmed. This started happening after r37676 from bug #20403

We need to make sure this patch doesn't introduce leaks before landing it (need to check for circular references of WebKitWebFrames).

[Alp Toker]

Comment on attachment 24617 [details]

Yeah, the fix is a bit more involved. I have a patch working, will post soon.

Fix leaks

Turns that _all_ WebKitWebFrames and all WebCore::Frame's are being leaked, including other resources they keep alive.

This is a WIP patch that fixes all the Frame leaks. Full of debug comments and eeds testing, haven't tried DRT yet.

updated and cleaned up Alp's patch 

Updated alp's patch which fixes the frame leaks. We are still leaking CachedResources and WebCoreNodes (according to the debug-build stdout) but that will probably go to a separate patch. No crashes in DRT. No regression was added to what's already enabled in Gtk DRT.

This probably needs some work. But I would like to get feedback so I know what still needs to be done. 

Cheers.

Add unit test for this bug

Add a unit test for this bug, also attempt to test that we are destructing the webframe. Instead of taking a real reference on the webkitwebframe we might need to take a weak ref but the api is not too nice...

[Holger Freyther]

Add the dependency on the unit test bug.

^^^ be a bit more verbose?

IIRC:
   WebCore::Frame and WebCore::FrameLoaderClient have the same lifetime. Initially we wanted to have WebKitWebFrame have the same lifetime as well otherwise you have to add plenty of NULL checks to WebKitWebFrame... Think of someone doing a g_object_ref on the WebKitWebFrame but the page the user navigated to was left, the WebCore::Frame destroyed....if WebCore::Frame is destroyed before the WebKitWebFrame we will have to add null checks to WebKitWebFrame. So what we have instead is something like a circular dependency and fail to break the circle. (or alternatively the lifetime of WebKitWebFrame should determine the ifetime of WebCore::Frame).

No NULL in C++ code, this should never be false?

FrameLoader is already gone?

this is where the fun starts... A g_object_ref(frame) will keep the WebCore::Frame
alive as well?

okay, we start with refcount one and the above should be case?

I have to check this when I'm awake. But we should write something regarding the lifetime and ownership of the various components.

this can only make sense if someone is calling get_main_frame from within the _finalize of the WebKitWebView? Do we want to support that?

Do we really want to support having a webView (and Page) destroyed without destroying the mainFrame first?

I agree that WebKitWebFrame should determine WebCore::Frame's lifetime, and FrameLoaderClient should determine WebKitWebFrame's lifetime? Should we follow Mac in this regard?

Ok. Yup. I'll add an assert to be safe.

Not yet. I think the rationale was mac and qt are not doing it.

See my previous comment (re: do we really want to support that behaviour?)

I think detachFromParent is the right call here. Again, following Mac and Qt's impl.

I'm fixing up the patch to have something like the ff:

1. WebKitWebFrame determines WebCore::Frame's lifetime.
2. FrameLoaderClient determines WebKitWebFrame's lifetime.
3. WebKitWebView triggers creation and destruction of the main frame but doesn't own it (FrameLoaderClient does).

Any comments/suggestion?

What do you mean?

Thanks for the feedback.

WebCore::Frame and FrameLoaderClient have the same lifetime. So with the above we end up with a circle... The question is what to do. And I start to believe the best way to deal with it, is to not have a circle.

We would end up with:
  WebKitWebView owns the Page. The Page ref's the WebKitWebFrame..
  WebKitWebFrame has a ref on the WebCore::Frame
  WebKitWebFrame has a pointer to the WebKitWebView and might be zero.
  WebKitWebPage has a pointer to the main frame, it will never be zero.

Truth:
  WebKitWebView has a WebCore::Frame... as the WebCore::Page is/should keep a ref on the main frame. This means the WebKitWebFrame mainFrame is always present.


This means:
  We will have to add null checks in WebKitWebFrame to see if the page/view is gone. Change the references accordingly...



Do you agree on this? If so we can go and start to look at the implementation..

Ok, gotcha. Agreed.

I'll check the patch again and upload another one. If you have thoughts on implementation, please let me know.

Also, I think I'll incorporate your test case in my patch. Is that OK with you?

WIP Stop leaking

Work In Progress. This is not crashing with the test case, according to valgrind we do not leak frame's.

The FrameLoaderClient will remove the ref of the WebKitWebFrame and trigger destruction...
