r- because this needs some renaming work

> Source/WebCore/dom/Document.cpp:425
> +    , m_countWheelEventHandlers(0)

'count' reads like a verb. I'd call it 'm_numWheelEventHandlers' or 'm_wheelEventHandlersCount'

> Source/WebCore/dom/Document.h:1101
> +    unsigned countWheelEventHandlers() const { return m_countWheelEventHandlers; }

This needs a new name too.

> Source/WebCore/page/ChromeClient.h:324
> +        virtual void updateCountWheelEventHandlers(unsigned) = 0;

This sounds like you want the callee to update their count. I think it's really 'numWheelEventHandlersChanged()', no?

> Source/WebCore/page/EventHandler.cpp:-2144
> -    view = m_frame->view();
> -    if (!view)
> -        return false;
> -

Why this change?

> Source/WebCore/page/Frame.cpp:1122
> +static unsigned sumTotalWheelEventHandlers(const Frame* frame)

Awkwardly named.

> Source/WebCore/page/Frame.cpp:1132
> +    for (Frame* child = frame->tree()->firstChild(); child; child = child->tree()->nextSibling())
> +        count += sumTotalWheelEventHandlers(child);

You could walk the entire tree via the FrameTree rather than recursing.

> Source/WebCore/page/Frame.cpp:1137
> +void Frame::recalculateTotalWheelEventHandlers() const

Odd that a 'recalculate' method is const. This should be more like notifyChomeClientOfNewWheelEventHandlerCount() or something.

> Source/WebCore/page/Frame.h:211
> +        // Should only be called on the main frame of a page.
> +        void recalculateTotalWheelEventHandlers() const;

I don't see an ASSERT that matches the comment.

> Source/WebCore/platform/mac/ScrollAnimatorMac.mm:791
> +        // after a gesture begins, we go through

Sentence case please.

Ouch. Some inline helper functions would make this hugely more readable.

> Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/WebPageProxy.h:229
> +    bool shouldWaitForWheelEvents();

Should be const.

> Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/WebPageProxy.h:616
> +    void updateCountWheelEventHandlers(unsigned count) { m_wheelEventHandlerCount = count; }

updateWheelEventHandlersCount()

> Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/WebPageProxy.messages.in:65
> +    UpdateCountWheelEventHandlers(unsigned count)

Rename

> Source/WebKit2/WebProcess/WebCoreSupport/WebChromeClient.cpp:770
> +    default:
> +        return true;

The default clause is defeating the compiler's ability to warn if not all values are handled.

Earlier in the method this check is already performed. Unless there's a possibility that the frame will lose the view by the time we hit this line, I don't think we have to check twice.

I am noting all of your renaming suggestions, and will upload a new patch shortly.

You have to be really careful in code that allows arbitrary JS to be executed. This code is probably here because the event handler can run JS which results in the frame getting destroyed.

Noticed the word coalesced spelled with two l's as "coalesced" in a few places.

> Source/WebCore/page/ChromeClient.h:173
> +        virtual bool shouldRubberBandInDirection(ScrollDirection) = 0;

These will need to be reimplemented for many platforms. That’s why the build of every platform except for Mac is failing.

This name should probably be setWheelEventHandlerCount.

It seems reasonable to add these to ScrollableArea

Moved method to ScrollableArea, and added some additional logic to fix some regressions found in the rubber banding behavior.

Looking really good, but lets go another around.

> Source/WebCore/page/Frame.cpp:1130
> +    for (const Frame* frame = this; frame; frame = frame->tree()->traverseNext())
> +        if (frame->document())

This should have braces around for-loop.

> Source/WebCore/page/FrameView.cpp:314
> +    scrollAnimator()->didAddHorizontalScrollbar(scrollbar);

This should call ScrollView::didAddHorizontalScrollbar(scrollbar) instead of calling the animator directly.

> Source/WebCore/page/FrameView.cpp:319
> +    scrollAnimator()->willRemoveHorizontalScrollbar(scrollbar);

Same here.

> Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/API/C/WKPage.h:291
> +WK_EXPORT bool WKPageShouldWaitForWheelEvents(WKPageRef page);

I would rather this have a name and functionality that would work for all builds, including those without gesture events.  Perhaps, something along the lines of horizontal scrolls being noops...

[Jon Lee]

Created attachment 93569 [details]
Patch

Incorporated Sam's suggestions. Opted for "WebPageProxy::willHandleHorizontalScrollEvents" to relate it to the "didNotHandleWheelEvent" callback. Also, removed preprocessor so that it works for all builds.

'left' and 'right' are loaded terms in a mixed writing-direction world. I'd rename these to isHorizontalScrollerAtMinimum() and isHorizontalScrollerAtMaximum or something.

> Source/WebCore/platform/mac/ScrollAnimatorMac.h:149

Not sure what 'aggregate' means here. Would 'cumulative' be a better term to use?

Also, if this is only ever in X, the name should reflect that.

Renamed to m_cumulativeHorizontalScroll.

This looks like it's causing crashes downstream in Chromium:

http://test-results.appspot.com/dashboards/flakiness_dashboard.html#tests=http%2Ftests%2Fsecurity%2FaboutBlank%2Fwindow-open-self-about-blank.html&showExpectations=true&group=%40ToT%20-%20chromium.org

Are you sure that willRemoveHorizontalScrollbar() is always guaranteed to be called exactly once for each call to didAddHorizontalScrollbar()? Not sure whether this is a bug in the Chromium platform layer calling this routine too often, or an invalid assumption in the patch?

I'm on r87310, but still experience the same crash described in comment #27 while running some DRT tests on the EFL port, such as tables/mozilla/core/one_row.html, fast/dom/createElementNS.html or fast/dom/clone-node-form-elements-with-attr.html.

If a bug fix is causing problems or crashes, reopening the bug is not the way to report it. That will just confuse people about the state of the patch or bug. It makes sense to reopen the bug if we rolled out the patch, but otherwise, please file a new bug about the new problem and add comments to the old bug.

The "horizontal scrollbars" part sounds wrong to me. The code looks like this is just the number of onmousewheel events, and nothing else?
