Bug 166986 – ASSERTION FAILED: !m_bodyLoader

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebCore Misc.

[Keith Rollin]

This assertion occasionally triggers when running a new PLT mechanism that's under development. As part of this mechanism, a number of pages are being loaded in sequence, including:

...
http://www.Facebook.com
http://www.Fc2.com
http://www.Github.com
http://www.Globo.com
http://www.Godaddy.com
http://www.Google.com
http://www.Huffingtonpost.com
http://www.Imdb.com
...

I find that the ASSERT usually triggers when loading huffingtonpost.com, but I have at least one instance of globo.com crashing. Since the ASSERT is related to cancelling a loader, it's possible that the issue is with the previous page (github.com or google.com).

The backtrace of the ASSERT is:

The ASSERT was added in commit 51223ca642f79c170c43408c3c57b22ba73ec220, svn r199641, which made this change:

void FetchResponse::stop()
{
+    RefPtr<FetchResponse> protect(this);
    FetchBodyOwner::stop();
    if (m_bodyLoader) {
-        RefPtr<FetchResponse> protect(this);
        m_bodyLoader->stop();
-        m_bodyLoader = Nullopt;
+        ASSERT(!m_bodyLoader);
    }
}

Thanks for the information.
This ASSERT is important to ensure that m_bodyLoader is nullified and we unset pending activity correctly.

I think some refactoring of the code might help though.
For instance, it might be clearer to  set/unset pending activities in body loader constructor/destructor.
