Bug 217986 – [GLIB] imported/w3c/web-platform-tests/html/canvas/offscreen/line-styles/2d.line.width.transformed.html is a flaky crash

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: New Bugs

[Diego Pino]

These two tests are following with the same stacktrace:

  imported/w3c/web-platform-tests/html/canvas/offscreen/line-styles/2d.line.width.transformed.html [ Crash ]
  imported/w3c/web-platform-tests/html/canvas/offscreen/path-objects/2d.path.arc.selfintersect.1.worker.html [ Crash ]

First reported crash in test history is r267763. Exploring several revisions before, r267735 might be a likely cause for the failures.

Will investigate. I suspect a race on destruction.

The same is happening to imported/w3c/web-platform-tests/html/canvas/offscreen/path-objects/2d.path.arc.selfintersect.1.html

Results db: https://results.webkit.org/?suite=layout-tests&test=imported%2Fw3c%2Fweb-platform-tests%2Fhtml%2Fcanvas%2Foffscreen%2Fpath-objects%2F2d.path.arc.selfintersect.1.html

Gardened in r268892.

[Chris Lord]

As I suspected, this is due to the script execution context being destroyed while the buffer is being pushed to the placeholder. I've got a fix that just involves holding a reference to the context while this is happening, but it feels ugly to me - I'll verify/tidy/upload and hopefully review will confirm whether this is a valid fix or not.

[Chris Lord]

So I thought I had a fix, but it really just replaces the slightly more frequent crash with a much rarer, but still possible exception. Still looking into this, will see if I can get any advice on Slack if I can't come up with anything.

[Chris Lord]

As is often the case, I was overcomplicating things - there's no need to pass the OffscreenCanvas object to the main thread, instead I've moved all the placeholder canvas communication related data into a separate ThreadSafeRefCounted structure which we can safely use and release on the main thread. This removes the need to call back into the Worker thread to release a reference on the OffscreenCanvas and side-steps this issue entirely. Resolves the crashes in my local testing.
