Bug 224017 – Crash under GPUProcessProxy::getGPUProcessConnection()

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Canvas

[Said Abou-Hallawa]

The completion handler of some messages may reference members of GPUProcessProxy or WebProcessPool even though they may be already destroyed. A crash tracer may look like this:

WebKit: WebKit::GPUProcessProxy::getGPUProcessConnection(WebKit::WebProcessProxy&, WTF::CompletionHandler<void (WebKit::GPUProcessConnectionInfo const&)>&&) <==
WebKit: WTF::Detail::CallableWrapper<WebKit::WebProcessPool::getGPUProcessConnection(WebKit::WebProcessProxy&, WTF::CompletionHandler<void (WebKit::GPUProcessConnectionInfo const&)>&&)::$_15, void, WebKit::GPUProcessConnectionInfo const&>::call(WebKit::GPUProcessConnectionInfo const&)
WebKit: WTF::Detail::CallableWrapper<WebKit::WebProcessPool::getGPUProcessConnection(WebKit::WebProcessProxy&, WTF::CompletionHandler<void (WebKit::GPUProcessConnectionInfo const&)>&&)::$_15, void, WebKit::GPUProcessConnectionInfo const&>::call(WebKit::GPUProcessConnectionInfo const&)
WebKit: WTF::Detail::CallableWrapper<WebKit::GPUProcessProxy::getGPUProcessConnection(WebKit::WebProcessProxy&, WTF::CompletionHandler<void (WebKit::GPUProcessConnectionInfo const&)>&&)::$_3, void, WTF::Optional<IPC::Attachment>&&>::call(WTF::Optional<IPC::Attachment>&&)
WebKit: WTF::Detail::CallableWrapper<unsigned long long WebKit::AuxiliaryProcessProxy::sendWithAsyncReply<Messages::GPUProcess::CreateGPUConnectionToWebProcess, WebKit::GPUProcessProxy::getGPUProcessConnection(WebKit::WebProcessProxy&, WTF::CompletionHandler<void (WebKit::GPUProcessConnectionInfo const&)>&&)::$_3>(Messages::GPUProcess::CreateGPUConnectionToWebProcess&&, WebKit::GPUProcessProxy::getGPUProcessConnection(WebKit::WebProcessProxy&, WTF::CompletionHandler<void (WebKit::GPUProcessConnectionInfo const&)>&&)::$_3&&, unsigned long long, WTF::OptionSet<IPC::SendOption>, WebKit::AuxiliaryProcessProxy::ShouldStartProcessThrottlerActivity)::'lambda'(IPC::Decoder*), void, IPC::Decoder*>::call(IPC::Decoder*)
WebKit: WTF::Detail::CallableWrapper<WebKit::AuxiliaryProcessProxy::sendMessage(std::__1::unique_ptr<IPC::Encoder, std::__1::default_delete<IPC::Encoder> >, WTF::OptionSet<IPC::SendOption>, WTF::Optional<std::__1::pair<WTF::CompletionHandler<void (IPC::Decoder*)>, unsigned long long> >&&, WebKit::AuxiliaryProcessProxy::ShouldStartProcessThrottlerActivity)::$_0, void, IPC::Decoder*>::call(IPC::Decoder*)
WebKit: WebKit::AuxiliaryProcessProxy::~AuxiliaryProcessProxy()
WebKit: WTF::RefCounted<WebKit::GPUProcessProxy, std::__1::default_delete<WebKit::GPUProcessProxy> >::deref() const
WebKit: WebKit::WebProcessPool::~WebProcessPool()
WebKit: -[WKProcessPool dealloc]
WebKit: WebKit::WebProcessProxy::~WebProcessProxy()
WebKit: WebKit::WebProcessProxy::~WebProcessProxy()
WebKit: WTF::Detail::CallableWrapper<WebKit::WebPageProxy::close()::$_6, void>::~CallableWrapper()
JavaScriptCore: WTF::RunLoop::performWork()
JavaScriptCore: WTF::RunLoop::performWork(void*)

GPUProcessProxy is being called although its destruction has already begun since we are inside AuxiliaryProcessProxy::~AuxiliaryProcessProxy(). This means we can't deal with this object as a super class of AuxiliaryProcessProxy anymore.

I was wrong about this change. The life cycle of m_gpuProcess is different from the WebProcesses which are owned by the WebProcessPool. I made this assertion in this code 

#if ENABLE(GPU_PROCESS)
    if (m_gpuProcess) {
        ASSERT(m_gpuProcess->hasOneRef());
        m_gpuProcess->shutDownProcess();
    }
#endif

And I ran the canvas layout tests and this assertion fires multiple times. I think the assertion fires because there is a singleton GPU Process for all the WebProcesses. If there are multiple WebProcessPools, i.e. WebProcessPool::allProcessPools() has more than one item, m_gpuProcess will only be destroyed when the last WebProcessPool is destroyed.

r275349 does not guarantee all the pending messages of GPUProcessProxy will be processed before starting the deletion of WebProcessPool. Some messages may be processed inside the AuxiliaryProcessProxy destructor.

~AuxiliaryProcessProxy() already does that. So why does ~GPUProcessProxy() need to do it too?

> +    // Force calling the destrsuctor of GPUProcessProxy to ensure the completion

typo: destrsuctor

Note that this does not necessarily destroy the GPUProcessProxy since a single GPUProcessProxy may be shared by several WebProcessPool objects.

Note that this previous code was wrong too since a GPUProcessProxy can be shared by several process pool. Having a single WebProcessPool getting destroyed should not cause pending messages from other process pool to get replied to eagerly.

See the completion handler in GPUProcessProxy::getGPUProcessConnection(). We capture this as a WeakPtr and if we reply the pending messages from ~AuxiliaryProcessProxy(), GPUProcessProxy will be invalid and a call like this->connection() will crash.

So this may not be needed then.

I think the safest fix here is to protect the WebProcessPool in the lambda in WebProcessPool::getGPUProcessConnection(), instead of using a WeakPtr.
