Description Dmitry Titov 2010-02-18 19:33:01 PST
Uncooperative workers may run for a long time after being closed or terminated. The chromium has a special timer that will kill the worker process but it's causing crashes on process destruction which triggers ReportCrash on Mac and may leave zombie processes behind. Need to actually stop the JS execution.

Patch will follow soon.

Oops indeed. Set cq+ by mistake. Should commit-queue try to land patch without r+? Anyways, cq- now .
Comment 4 Andrew Wilson 2010-02-19 09:10:34 PST
Per our email discussion, I'm concerned that many of our uses of v8::TryCatch will now be incorrect once we start using this. We should double-check that with Mads before landing.

Yup.  We added this feature intentionally a while ago.  It allows committers to queue their own patches for commit w/o requiring a second round of approval from a reviewer for instance.

Adam Barth built a "land-safely" command around this (at least I think he did) which should be in webkit-patch.

Updated patch.

Updated patch as per email discussion with Mads Ager and Drew Wilson.
The way to check that v8 has returned from JS block because of TerminateExecution() is to check TryCatch::CanContinue(). Added this check.
The v8 will unwind JS frames upon return from C++ frames because termination exception is 'sticky'.

Independently from this patch, V8 team plans to look into a generic issue of possible re-entering V8 while termination is in effect. It is unclear if we even have this scenario in today's worker code.
