The name m_isCallingRenderers is a bit vague (and easily confused with Render objects).

I'm not a big fan of this name. I started to use "flush pending layer changes" nomenclature in RenderLayerCompositor (we're not really synchronizing anything here).

The current name certainly seems more consistent with the current terminology (e.g., ChromeClient::scheduleCompositingStateSync). But I guess it's better to be forward-looking, if you're planning to change the existing names. Maybe LayerChangeFlusher is the way to go (along with flushLayerChangesSoon(WKCACFLayerRenderer*) and m_isFlushingLayerChanges).

This patch breaks <video>.

[Adam Roben (:aroben)]

I went ahead and got rid of uses of "sync compositing state" in Windows-specific code in bug 52894 and bug 52898. I'll upload a new patch that takes the new names into account and also fixes <video>.

Yet another rename in bug 52898 means that this patch will have to be updated before landing, but it will just be a mechanical rename change.
