Make mime type lookup in File::create(path) thread-safe

[Kinuko Yasuda]

Make mime type lookup in File::create(path) thread-safe.  This is dangerous when this code runs on workers.

Currently when we create a File object (WebCore/fileapi/File) from a file path, it calls MIMETypeRegistry::getMIMETypeForExtension() to initialize File.type based on the given path.
But this is not thread-safe on many platforms.

Hi,

The patch is not to be reviewed (not tested!), but what do you think about it?

Thanks for uploading this.  You'd want to wait for David's (or someone who knows very well) comments, but I put a few minor ones:

> Source/WebCore/ChangeLog:20
> +        * platform/MIMETypeRegistry.h:

It is generally encouraged to put short change summary (ideally) for each file, maybe the first two files may deserve short summary in this patch?

> Source/WebCore/platform/android/TemporaryLinkStubs.cpp:310
> +    ASSERT_NOT_REACHED();

This shouldn't compile if this happens right?

How about changing this to more generic check like:
ASSERT(isMainThread());
without guards, or only with ENABLE(WORKERS).

Exactly. I've added summary.

Changed as your advice. Thanks.

lgtm; now you'll need a real reviewer.

Can we make these asserts even if we haven't enabled workers?

HI Adam,

Thank you for your review. I've removed #if ENABLED(WORKERS).

This looks good. One last thing to fix up wherever you added ASSERT(isMainThread()); please make sure that the file has the following includes:

#include <wtf/Assertions.h>
#include <wtf/MainThread.h>

I spot checked MIMETypeRegistryWinCE.cpp and MimeTypeRegistryWx.cpp and noticed they didn't have these so those builds may get broken by this change.
