Bug 240716 – REGRESSION(r290375) [GStreamer] Deadlock in WebProcess termination if AppendPipeline is started

• Component: WPE WebKit
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Test case

Since r290375, GStreamer ports are calling gst_deinit() at WebProcess termination.

This is causing a deadlock if a MSE SourceBuffer has been instantiated.
That is because the GstTask from the appsrc element in the AppendPipeline is still running.

The attached test page allows the reproduce the deadlock.
It has been adapted from Alicia's test case in bug 191876.

To reproduce:
./Tools/Scripts/run-minibrowser --wpe file:///path/to/deadlock-at-exit-if-appendpipeline-started.html &
killall MiniBrowser
ps

You can see that WPEWebProcess is still runing.
It is blocked in the gst_deinit() call.

Relevant callstacks during the deadlock:
