Description Ion Rosca 2014-03-28 02:42:22 PDT
Blending does not work if its parent, being also the stacking context that isolates blending, is a normal flow only element.

The consequence for software blending is that the parent element cannot create the transparencyLayer because it's not a self painting layer, and for accelerated blending the parent cannot become accelerated for the same reason.

I guess you are referring to stacking content layers in normal flow here.

I would like to see tests in which this behaviour- transitioning between normal flow only and self painting layer - is dynamically tested. For the layout tests, please make sure you have the right indentation.

Why do you need this?

Please add a line here in which you describe what success looks like when you run the test manually. For instance:
<p>On success you should see a green rectangle below.</p>

> LayoutTests/css3/compositing/blend-mode-parent-overflow-hidden.html:22
> +<p>This test checks that software blending has no effect when the backdrop is a transparent normal flow only layer.</p>

Same as above, please add a note about how success looks like when you manually load this test into a browser.

Do an early return instead of having the whole body indented.

Can layer.updateIsolationForBlendingDescendantsIfNeeded() be rolled into layer.updateDescendantDependentFlags()? That would avoid adding an extra child walk.

Can't we do this in RenderLayer::styleChanged()?

Can we make these ref tests please?

Done. I had to change some code for the other flags, but not the logic.

On this branch RenderLayer is going to be removed for this RenderObject and RenderLayer::styleChanged will never get called.

It's hard to make ref tests for blending. There is a bug regarding wrong color results: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130582 and we don't really know what colors to expect. The blending output colors have slightly diferrent  on retina vs non retina displays and among OS versions. I think layer tree is the more appropriate way to test isolation, because isolation flag is also dumped in RenderTreeAsText.

We can optimize this descendant walk in updateDescendantDependentFlags by leaving the loop if just dirty flags are set, not all of them. Also, we can skip entering updateDescendantDependentFlags() on a child if some conditions are met. For example if we know that a child has blendMode, we are not interested if it has other descendants with blend modes; if a child is self painting layer, we are not interested if it has descendants with that property. I can address this in a follow up patch.

The final review should definitely be done by someone with more insight. In general, the patch looks good to me. Some snippets.

> Source/WebCore/ChangeLog:27
> +        When hasUnisolatedBlendingDescendants gets set we make sure that isSelfPaintingLayer flag is set too.

I think it looks better to replace Unisolated with NotIsolated . Seems easier to read.

> Source/WebCore/ChangeLog:34
> +        This change should not affect the logics behind the other flags.

I hope our test coverage is good enough to assume that.

Wow, there should probably a comment in RenderLayer.h to warn others.

Can/Should it be done before this patch then? To be honest, I am not really into the code to judge.


After reading though the code again, I think it is fine to do this in a second patch afterwards.

> Source/WebCore/rendering/RenderLayer.h:805
> +    bool isolatesBlending() const { return isStackingContext() && hasUnisolatedBlendingDescendants(); }

Please put a comment why it is necessary to do that.

Ok.

>> Source/WebCore/ChangeLog:39
>> +        the assertion in hasUnisolatedBlendingDescendants() for non-stacking context elements.
>

Actually I think we should remove the ASSERT from hasUnisolatedBlendingDescendants() for now. I still hit it in some circumstances and I've heard other people complaining about that too. Asserts have been removed for the other flags as well (see comments in RenderLayer.h: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71044).
I hit this assertion mostly on minibrowser and in layout tests. On safari flags are updated correctly after changing the style because computeCompositingRequirements calls updateDescendantDependentFlags.

We need a generic mechanism for updating all types of dirty flags on ancestors after the style gets changed and turn the asserts back on. I will remove this change and I'll comment the assert, addressing the issue #71044 with another patch.
