This breaks Mac/iOS because removeFromParent is no longer called, so call to noteSublayersChanged() no longer happens.

Please add __ZN7WebCore15GraphicsLayerCA17removeAllChildrenEv to WebCore.exp.in then run Tools/Scripts/sort-export-file. This should fix mac build

I think this should be flipped.

Ditto.

This (and the previous iteration as well) caused a bunch of assertions on Mac -- noteSublayersChanged() has to be called for parent once for each child that is being removed.

Do we really need to call noteSublayersChanged over and over again? How is that useful?

No, we only need to call it once.

As I wrote in comment #11, Mac EWS rejected the patch that only called noteSublayersChanged() (comment #9 and comment #10).

I'm able to confirm the problem on Mac, with lots of crashes regardless of whether noteSublayersChanged() is called before or after GraphicsLayer::removeAllChildren(). I know nothing about CA and why the crashes occur, but keeping the previous behaviour of notifying about changed sublayers for each removed layer works without a problem. I'll attach backtraces from a debug build.
