Description Jon@Chromium 2009-02-04 12:31:11 PST
Although this was found in Chromium it also crashes the nightly WebKit at third_party\webkit\webcore\loader\docloader.cpp @ 280

It is easy to repro.  Open the URL with the nightly build and wait a little while.
Comment 1 Mark Rowe (bdash) 2009-02-04 12:39:20 PST
Can you please attach a crash log when reporting crashes?  See <http://webkit.org/quality/crashlogs.html> for details.

Crash Log

Sorry about not including the crash log immediately.  I was moving a little too quickly.  :)
Comment 3 Alexey Proskuryakov 2009-02-05 12:00:45 PST
On a debug build, I'm getting an assertion failure:

ASSERTION FAILED: !m_deletionHasBegun
(/Users/ap/Safari/OpenSource/WebCore/dom/Document.h:197 void WebCore::Document::selfOnlyRef())

Comment 6 Eric Seidel (no email) 2009-03-04 14:07:56 PST
The ASSERT is hit because
WebCore::Loader::Host::didFinishLoading
is trying to put docLoader->doc() in a DocPtr and the document is already dead!

    DocLoader* docLoader = request->docLoader();
    // Prevent the document from being destroyed before we are done with
    // the docLoader that it will delete when the document gets deleted.
    DocPtr<Document> protector(docLoader->doc());

I guess requests don't keep documents alive?  But I'm slightly surprised that all requests aren't correctly canceled when a document goes away.  Honestly I don't know much about the loader machinery yet.

Here is the interesting part of the stacktrace leading to the ASSERT:

Documents own their DocLoaders, which would suggest that when we hit this code the DocLoader is also destroyed.

Loader::cancelRequests(DocLoader*) should have already taken care of removing this request from the RequestMap though...

Loader::cancelRequests is called by:
    if (Document* doc = m_frame->document()) {
        if (DocLoader* docLoader = doc->docLoader())
            cache()->loader()->cancelRequests(docLoader);

From within void FrameLoader::stopLoading(bool sendUnload)

It's a little odd that you can delete a document and not necessarily have stopped all the requests by it... investigating.
Comment 8 Eric Seidel (no email) 2009-03-04 14:34:15 PST
I added an ASSERT to ~DocLoader(), which we now hit:

DocLoader::~DocLoader()
{
    clearPreloads();
    DocumentResourceMap::iterator end = m_documentResources.end();
    for (DocumentResourceMap::iterator it = m_documentResources.begin(); it != end; ++it)
        it->second->setDocLoader(0);
    m_cache->removeDocLoader(this);

    // Make sure no requests still point to this DocLoader
    ASSERT(m_requestCount == 0);
}

m_requestCount == 1.  The stack trace of hitting the ASSERT is:
#0	0x036ba6d2 in WebCore::DocLoader::~DocLoader at DocLoader.cpp:70

It seems like someone forgot about this poor little Document, and the only thing left holding onto it is JavaScript.  When JavaScript lets go of it, the DocLoader is destroyed, which happens before the load actually finishes... How could the rest of WebCore have forgotten about this Document w/o having canceled the loads?

One way to fix this would be to cancel all loads from within ~DocLoader(), but maybe that's just masking other bugs?
Comment 9 Eric Seidel (no email) 2009-03-04 14:59:29 PST
Added the above mentioned ASSERT:
Committing to http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/trunk ...

Committed r41435

Hopefully that will make it easier to find out what's actually going on here.
Comment 10 Eric Seidel (no email) 2009-03-04 15:10:05 PST
So I think that detached documents (those not in frames) can have pending loads associated with them.  I'm not exactly sure how I would create one of those, but it seems possible.  If that's the case then the FrameLoader code which is supposed to stop the DocLoader's loads, would not be run for these detached documents (since they don't have a Frame).

I'm not sure yet what the right fix is, but if I can figure out how to get a detached document to make a load (or to detach a document from a frame while it still has pending loads) then we can make a test case for this. ;)
Comment 11 Eric Seidel (no email) 2009-03-04 15:41:31 PST
Maybe it's possible to create an XHR in a subframe, and then grab it from the parent frame, destroy the subframe and the start a request from that XHR?

I'm not even sure that this is related to XHR loads (as those are different from normal loads).  It's possible that the right fix is to just always cancel all loads from within ~DocLoader() and not worry so much about if someone has always canceled them before the document might get destroyed?
Comment 12 Alexey Proskuryakov 2009-03-09 02:19:07 PDT
This newly added assertion worked well, see bug 24449.

I posted a reduction and a fix in bug 24449. I'll turn the reduction into an HTTP layout test and post it for review, hopefully some time later this evening.

The last patch had a typo in the test text.

This is a slightly better way to do GC in a layout test, since it works outside DRT too:

function gc()
{
    if (window.GCController)
        GCController.collect();
    else
        for (var i = 0; i < 10000; ++i) // Allocate a sufficient number of objects to force a GC.
            new Object;
}
