Bug 166420 – [GTK] Crash in WebCore::CoordinatedGraphicsLayer::notifyFlushRequired

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Michael Catanzaro]

Downstream reporter says "This issue happens with WebKit rendering mails inside evolution. It is probably related to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=776391". Indeed, I see a bunch of web inspector stuff in the backtrace.

Most likely m_coordinator is null. It's not expected to be null since there's an assert at the top of notifyFlushRequired() that checks that.

I'm pretty sure I've hit that assert many times before.

[Michael Catanzaro]

Milan says this is 100% reproducible when opening the web inspector in Evolution when running in X11. Doesn't happen in Wayland nor in Epiphany.

Note: we only have five reports of this total in Fedora. But that's not unexpected if it requires opening the web inspector. Maybe the downstream reporter, who didn't mention inspector at all, accidentally triggered the inspector keybinding and didn't realize it.

[Milan Crha]

Right, for me, when not running under Wayland, it's enough to show the inspector and move a mouse pointer above its area (even its top buttons), but only from within the Evolution for some reason.

test-wk2.c

This is a test program to reproduce the crash. As Tom told me, the trick is to use WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1, which evolution does by default now, then the application crashes when moving the mouse cursor for example above the HTML nodes of the inspector.

The first line of the file contains a command line to compile & run it. Then click the Show Inspector button at the top and finally hover the mouse above the area of the docked inspector.

As Carlos told me the web inspector requires the AC to be enabled. So basically it is "expected" that it will misbehave (crash) when it is disabled.

[Carlos Garcia Campos]

I don't think it should crash, maybe things like page overlay wont' work, but it shouldn't crash.

[Michael Catanzaro]

Running Epiphany with WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1, the inspector appears to work until I click the inspect button (which I guess creates the page overlay). When clicking the Inspect button, the web process immediately crashes.

With the caveat that it is not possible to close, resize, or dock/undock, it just stays open forever.

[Carlos Garcia Campos]

I think this should be fixed now by r211083. Feel free to reopen if I'm wrong.

[Carlos Garcia Campos]

It's still possible to crash in CoordinatedGraphicsLayer::notifyFlushRequired(), I'm getting this when closing a page that is being inspected.

When CoordinatedGraphicsLayer::removefromParent is called, the coordinator has already been invalidated, so all its layers were set a nullptr coordinator. I think it's safe to simply handle m_coordinator being nullptr there.
