Bug 183989 – Move online state detection from the WebProcess to the NetworkProcess

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit2

[Chris Dumez]

Move online state detection from the WebProcess to the NetworkProcess. This avoid executing the same (expensive) code in EACH web process whenever a network interface's state changes.

Can the listener modify m_onlineStateChangeListeners? Even if not, what guarantees that this will not become a problem in the future?

That's optimistic :)

not An issue right now but I will make a copy for future proofing.

I think this matches the spec which says to return false only if we know we do not have network access.

I think we no longer need the WTF prefix.

Connection::sendMessage is already checking whether valid or not.
We do not gain much except not encoding isOnline.
In some other places we are not checking this and still call send.
Maybe we should do the same?

Although ok, it seems somehow strange that we are never removing the listener.
Ideally, we would add the listener/remove the listener whenever NetworkProcess has a WebProcess connection.

WTF:: here and below?

> +    m_onlineStateChangeListeners.append(WTFMove(listener));

It seems we will only call WebLoaderStrategy::addOnlineStateChangeListener once.
Maybe m_onlineStateChangeListeners should not be a Vector.

NetworkStateNotifier does not even have an API to remove listeners. Listeners are expected to be permanent at the moment.

This is inaccurate, it is called twice, once for pages and once for workers.

I guess we could add an API to NetworkStateNotifier to remove listeners but I am not sure it is worth the code / complexity since having a NetworkProcess and no WebProcess is rare.

OK but it could be easily reduced to only one listener.
It feels like we are propagating NetworkStateNotifier multi listener-API although that does not seem necessary.

r = me.
I would try to look at simplifying the loader strategy API.
Maybe we could just have something like loaderStrategy->startListeningToOnlineChange().
