Bug 309296 – REGRESSION(306838@main): [GTK] Crash in LayerTreeHost::updateRendering

• Status: NEW
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Michael Catanzaro]

I have three of these within a 10 minute period, but, as usual, no reproducer. Sorry. :(

The stack trace is very confusing. I don't know what is wrong.

So the code here is:

    // Eject any backing stores whose only reference is held in the HashMap cache.
    m_imageBackingStores.removeIf([](auto& it) {
        return it.value->hasOneRef(); // <-- crash occurs here
    });

This code looks safe: m_imageBackingStores holds Ref to a CoordinatedImageBackingStore, which inherits from ThreadSafeRefCounted.

I think the LayerTreeHost itself is still valid:

(gdb) print *this

  m_renderingUpdateRunLoopObserver = std::unique_ptr<WebCore::RunLoopObserver> = {get() = 0x7fc183106200},

      static tableSizeMaskOffset = -2, static keyCountOffset = -3, static deletedCountOffset = -4, static metadataSize = 16, 
      m_table = 0x7fc183f528f0}}, m_transientZoom = false, m_transientZoomScale = 1, m_transientZoomOrigin = {m_x = 0, m_y = 0}, 
  m_frameDamageHistoryForTestingLock = {static isHeldBit = 1 '\001', static hasParkedBit = 2 '\002', m_byte = {
      value = std::atomic<unsigned char> = { 0 '\000' }}}, m_frameDamageHistoryForTesting = WTF::Vector of length 0, capacity 0,

  static _vtable$ = <optimized out>}

And the HashTable:

(gdb) print m_imageBackingStores
$2 = {m_impl = {static smallMaxLoadNumerator = 3, static smallMaxLoadDenominator = 4, static largeMaxLoadNumerator = 1, 
    static largeMaxLoadDenominator = 2, static maxSmallTableCapacity = 1024, static minLoad = 6, static tableSizeOffset = -1, 
    static tableSizeMaskOffset = -2, static keyCountOffset = -3, static deletedCountOffset = -4, static metadataSize = 16, 
    m_table = 0x7fc183f528f0}}

Luckily, I have found a reproducer! Visit https://www.employeefiduciary.com/blog/solo-401k-vs.-sep-ira and scroll the page up or down. Normally it crashes within 5-10 seconds. Sometimes it takes longer, but it should eventually crash. So that should help a lot.

[Claudio Saavedra]

I can't reproduce this in main, is this main or a particular wkgtk release? If so, can you reproduce in main too?

[Michael Catanzaro]

I'll find out. I had been testing WebKitGTK 2.51.93. Since it's reproducible, I should be able to bisect... hopefully, as long as the bug occurs in my jhbuild environment.

[Michael Catanzaro]

Reportedly this bug can also be triggered by scrolling on Jupyter notebooks.

[Michael Catanzaro]

Well bad news: as of today, the bug is no longer reproducible. I still see it occasionally crashing in Tech Preview (2 so far in the past hour), but my reproducer from yesterday no longer triggers the crash at all.

Since it's no longer reproducible, I won't be able to guess whether the issue is broken in main or only on the 2.52 branch, and I certainly won't be able to bisect.

[Xi Ruoyao]

I reproduced it several times reviewing larger GitHub pull requests with 2.52.0.

Scrolling https://github.com/AOSC-Dev/aosc-os-abbs/pull/15249/changes likely triggers the crash but I don't know if it only works for me.

[Michael Catanzaro]

I think it's a "stateful" bug, like bug #263208. Under some unknown condition, it's going to crash a lot, reproducibly. I had no difficulty reproducing this bug on Wednesday; in fact, it kept interrupting my work, because it would happen again and again at random. But if the unknown condition is not present, then it does not crash often, or at all. No luck today: I just cannot get either page to crash.

[Xi Ruoyao]

FWIW I use MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink and I can easily get the crash but I'm unsure if they are related.

[Michael Catanzaro]

I've hit this crash 4 times in the past 20 minutes, using 2.52.0.

I'm currently compiling WebKit. Guess: the aforementioned unknown condition is just heavy system load. Things go slower, and that's when it crashes. Boring but plausible.

[Michael Catanzaro]

I hit it twice just now on https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/61521 when scrolling the page.

[Claudio Saavedra]

*** Bug 310973 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

[Alberto Garcia]

I can reproduce this easily browsing elpais.com and scrolling up and down randomly, the suspicion is that m_imageBackingStores is not thread safe.

[Fujii Hironori]

306838@main is the regression point.
Disabling USE_COORDINATED_GRAPHICS_ASYNC_SCROLLBAR should be able to work around.

[Alberto Garcia]

I think Carlos is working of a fix

Workaround for the crash

So the problem seems to be that m_imageBackingStores is being accessed from different threads, which is not supposed to happen. I've been talking to Carlos and Nikolas, and a proper solution is being worked on.

In the meantime, this workaround should solve the crash, I confirm that it works for me.
