You changelog needs an explanation for the change:
-Why the previous code was incorrect.
-Why the new code is correct.

This is a good start. But the first paragraph does not tell why showDebugBorders() and showRepaintCounter() return false at that point.

The second paragraph does not say why setNonCompositedContentsNeedDisplay() is the right place for the settings.
Of all places, setNonCompositedContentsNeedDisplay() is an odd call site for changing a layer configuration.

We need to get rid of the non composited contents layer altogether.

The non composited contents layer will be discarded? I just want to turn on the debug border properly for now.

I am still wondering about something. The non composited contents layer is still used.
So, the debug border does not show properly because the non composited contents layer is not removed for now.
Aren't these kind of patches patched separately before the bug Noam said is fixed ?

Yep, it can be fixed separately before https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110355.

But personally, I am still not convinced the patch is correct. I let Noam decide what to do before reviewing.

In Qt there is no problem like this, are you getting this problem in EFL?

I am using QtWebKit. The debug border and repaint counter are set during CoordinatedLayerTreeHost has been created. But, the settings is made in the updatePreferences() function of WebPage.cpp after the creation.
In my case, i can not see the debug border at the site like www.google.com. Please let me know if i am doing wrong approach.

Why is it OK to remove this? Patch otherwise looks OK.

Sadly, this patch no longer applies cleanly. Can you please revise the patch for the current source tree?
