Description Ryosuke Niwa 2019-03-14 16:02:12 PDT
As discussed in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195661,
we can use the same strategy as String and use the lowest bit of Node::m_refCount
to indicate the pretense of a parent node.

This will reduce the load in Node::def. We can also avoid writing to m_refCount
in the case of calling removedLastRef() as we've done for RefCounted<T> in https://trac.webkit.org/r30042.
Comment 1 Ryosuke Niwa 2019-03-14 16:03:05 PDT
This seems to reduce the binary size of WebCore from 61260928 to 61213824 in my local builds at r242965.

Comment 6 Ryosuke Niwa 2019-03-14 17:58:42 PDT
Simon and I discussed the idea of using the highest bit instead to avoid having to hard-code 2 everywhere, and in fact I wrote such a patch but it has one downside that the highest bit can also be overridden by the regular ref-counting and we may make m_refCount to 0 in the case of overflow.

Using the lowest bit is slightly more secure as long as the node has a parent, which is more common case anyway. So let's just define a constexpr somewhere for 2 and use the lowest bit.

This seems wrong. The point of this is function to return true only if Node has no more than one ref and no less than one ref. Not to return 1 if it has more than one ref. I think the correct implementation is one of these:

    return (m_refCount >> 1) == 1;
    return (m_refCount & ~1) == 2;

This was the cause of the test failures. With refCount() returning non-zero value,
the optimization in replaceChildrenWithFragment to avoid replacing the text node was disabled.

I didn't fully understand this comment or the related ChangeLog explanation.

Can we make a nice API so that Document's use of m_refCount works without this unique behavior?

We are calling Document::removedLastRef(). Is that a strong enough signal to the Document that it really has no referencing nodes?

Why don't we need this anymore?

Why does Document still do this if Node doesn't?

> Source/WebCore/dom/Node.h:621
> +    static constexpr uint32_t s_refCountIncrementUnit = 2;

Let's call this s_refCountIncrement to match StringImpl.

> Source/WebCore/dom/Node.h:669
> +    uint32_t m_refCount { s_refCountIncrementUnit };

This probably needs a better name, like m_refCountAndParentBit.

> Source/WebCore/dom/Node.h:730
> +    return m_refCount >> 1;

We probably want an s_refCountShift instead of a hard-coded 1.

> Source/WebCore/dom/Node.h:744
> +    auto refCountWithoutParentBit = m_refCount & ~0x1;

We probably want an s_refCountMask instead of a hard-coded 1.

We can't because if m_refCount is not 0 here when m_referencingNodeCount is not zero, Document::removedLastRef doesn't delete document. Instead, it gets deleted when m_referencingNodeCount becomes 0 in decrementReferencingNodeCount. But it deletes Document only when m_refCount is also zero. If we didn't decrement m_refCount here, then we won't be able to tell in decrementReferencingNodeCount whether m_refCount is actually 2, or it would have been reached 0 but we simply didn't decrement.

> We are calling Document::removedLastRef(). Is that a strong enough signal to
> the Document that it really has no referencing nodes?

No. There could be nodes in the document which still references such a Document. This is kept track by m_referencingNodeCount but Document::removedLastRef still needs to run some cleanup steps so that it can remove any Ref/RefPtr Document itself holds.

>

Because we would never decrement m_refCount to 0 in Node::Derek.

> Why does Document still do this if Node doesn't?

Because Document has the issue above. That means we still DO need to decrement m_refCount to 0 when the last de-ref is called so we'd have to set it back to 2 before calling delete.

Sure.

Will rename.

Would it work to move this assignment of 0 into Document::removedLastRef?

Document::removedLastRef could include a comment that said "Node::removedLastRef doesn't set refCount() to zero because it's not observable. But we need to remember that our refCount reached zero in subsequent calls to decrementReferencingNodeCount()."

How does that sound?

A few things I noticed after this was landed.

> +        // But we need to remember that our refCount reached zero in subsequent calls to decrementReferencingNodeCount()

No period at the end of this line.

"errorm"

A little peculiar that this is not worded the same as the comment with identical purpose in Document.h.

> Source/WebCore/dom/Node.cpp:2527
> +    // This avoids double destruction even when there is a programming error to use Ref<T> / RefPtr<T> on this node.
> +    // There are debug assertions in Node::ref() / Node::deref() to catch such a programming error.
> +    ASSERT(m_refCountAndParentBit == s_refCountIncrement);

Really confusing that this comment claims that an *assertion* avoids double destruction. The correct claim is that this strategy avoids double destruction, but it’s strange to have the comment on an assertion.

> Source/WebCore/dom/Node.h:622
> +    static constexpr uint32_t s_refCountIncrement = 2;
> +    static constexpr uint32_t s_refCountMask = ~static_cast<uint32_t>(0x1);

Kind of funny to use just "2" but then "0x1". Why not just "1"?

Or could write the increment as "1 << 1" and the mask as "~0 << 1" and even consider having a constant for the shift amount of 1, and use that instead of division by s_refCountIncrement.

> Source/WebCore/dom/Node.h:711
> +    auto tempRefCount = m_refCountAndParentBit - s_refCountIncrement;

I think this should be called "updatedRefCount" rather than "tempRefCount".

> Source/WebCore/dom/Node.h:717
> +        return;

This seems more like the place we should have the comment about making double destruction safe, not elsewhere in the functions that make assertions.

> Source/WebCore/dom/Node.h:746
> +    auto refCountWithoutParentBit = m_refCountAndParentBit & s_refCountMask;
> +    m_refCountAndParentBit = refCountWithoutParentBit | !!parent;

I think I would find this more readable either in a single expression or with a much shorter variable name.

I removed this comment in favor of the one in Node.h

I removed this comment and added the same one as Document.h in Node.h where we avoid decrementing m_refCountAndParentBit.

Sure, I'd just use 2 & 1.
